Overview of BDSM
BDSM stands for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. It is a type of sexual play that many people find deeply pleasurable and satisfying. Although it is often associated with pain and pain play, it is primarily about the power and control exercised between partners.
Communication is key
Before you enter the world of BDSM, it's important that you talk about it with your partner. Discuss your desires, needs and boundaries and make sure you're both on the same page. Open and honest communication is the key to a safe and enjoyable BDSM experience.
Safety rules
Whether you're the dominant or submissive partner, it's important that you stick to a few important safety rules. These include:
Use the "safe word": a "safe word" is an agreed upon word that ends when one of the partners says it.
Don't overdo it: Avoid going too far and make sure both partners are comfortable.
Avoid injury: Use the right toys and make sure they are safe to use.
