What does BDSM stand for?Dear Sex Doc, I keep hearing this term BDSM. What does it stand for? Is it something I should get into? Kink VirginDear Kink Virgin, Okay, first of all, you’d better know what you’re getting into before you jump into it. You might find yourself in a bit of an uncomfortable predicament. BDSM stands for Bondage Discipline Sadomasochism. Bondage deals with tying someone up. Ropes, chains, and leather straps are common materials used to fasten someone up to the bedpost. Discipline is when people play power games with one another. Kink Virgin, you might also hear this called dominance and submission. The sub ‘bottom’ submits to the commands of the dom ‘top.’ Sadomasochism or what you might know as S & M (Sadism & Masochism) involves strong physical sensations from the sadist to the masochist. A sadist likes to inflict pain on another playmate. Lucky for them, masochists like being inflicted with pain. And Kink Virgin, BDSM is not really about sex at all. In fact, most people who engage in power play don’t have sex while they’re in their role. It’s really about an exchange of power. But not everyone who delves into the BDSM world is hardcore. Kink Virgin, if you’ve ever playfully slapped your lover’s butt, you may be considered a rookie power play artist. Light BDSM play is not as uncommon as you might think. Many people enjoy the erotic sensations brought on by feathers, whips, and paddles. It’s cool if you want to explore these tingly feelings. But, it’s your choice. And, if you do go down BDSM lane, it’s best to start soft. Best regards, Dr. Brian ParkerThis article was published on Wednesday 20 December, 2006. |
