Brat

Lifestyle Glossary · BDSM

In a BDSM context, a brat is a person who playfully teases, challenges, or resists within an agreed power dynamic. The behavior may invite a response from a partner, but it is not a license for real disrespect, punishment outside the agreement, or ignoring a person's stated limits.

The role works when the people involved recognize the difference between roleplay and conflict. It is often used within a Dom/Sub dynamic, yet it does not define someone's entire personality. Clear consent keeps the interaction playful rather than adversarial.
