BDSM – How does it work?

The term BDSM is an acronym for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism, a sexual practice which the pleasure of its participants is closely linked to domination and submission, in an erotic exchange that can involve pain, psychological torture and tickles, among other means, imposed by the domineering to the submissive partner.

Generally those fetish elements are considered to be unpleasant, in a non-sexual context, because they are applied against the will of the persons.

However, as a sexual practice, the pain, the submission and the imprisonment, for instance, are made in mutual agreement between the partners.

The bondage, techniques used to tie up and immobilize the mate, and the fantasies related to domination and discipline, the sadomasochism and the masochism are the main characteristics of BDSM. The sado uses various BDSM accessories, as whips, ferules, handcuffs, leashes, masks, muzzles, suspension kits, for example; as a way to dominate the partner and thus, feel pleasure. The masochist allows the submission to the partner, to reach the sexual satisfaction, without surpassing his/her limits, whether physical or psychological.

The BDSM practice shall always be healthy, safe and consensual, and it can involve penetration or not, in spite of being an erotic activity and permeated by sex, which tests the personal limits of the submissive person, without surpassing them, until the domineering is asked to stop, what happens with the usage of a safeword. It is a code word, pre-established between the participants, once the simple request for the domineering stop is not responded, because it is part of the game.

The existence of a safeword is very important exactly because each person has his/her own limit, and this shall be respected by the partner, so the sexual practice is really healthy.
