BDSM

BDSM is an acronym that stands for Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism. It encompasses a wide range of consensual adult activities involving power exchange, physical restraint, role-playing, and sensation. BDSM is a distinct community with its own culture, vocabulary, and safety practices. While BDSM and the swinging lifestyle are separate communities, there is significant overlap, and many lifestyle clubs and events include BDSM-friendly spaces or dedicated play areas. The core principle of BDSM is that all activities must be safe, sane, and consensual.
