BDSM For Beginners

What is the true BDSM meaning? with so many dating apps around and a rise in popularity of bondage sex, you’ll likely have heard about it. To get the best out of BDSM you’ll have to know what you’re doing and how to do it safely. BDSM is an umbrella term, which describes several practices, such as: bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism. Some people think BDSM is kinky, but in some cases, it doesn’t have to involve sex at all. The mental connections made with some acts are more than a turn-on than the actual act of sex. Here are the basics of BDSM for beginners.

BDSM requires consent, communication and trust between partners. BDSM often involves varying degrees of pain, physical restraint and servitude. Therefore, it is important to have the consent of your partner before engaging in BDSM. Tying your lover up, making them your sex slave, spanking them or putting a dog chain around their neck are a few examples of various BDSM themed acts.

Informed consent, SSC (Safe, Sane and Consensual), or RACK (Risk-aware Consensual Kink) are common BDSM practices to ensure safety. It’s a common practice to introduce a Safe Word which when spoken it ensures that the current act stops immediately of thinks get out of hand. This word can be unrelated to sex for example “Cactus” as long as you and your beloved partner know what it stands for and the act is terminated immediately, or until the situation has been resolved. Another common and easily used safe word system is the Traffic Light System. This system is pretty simple. Red means STOP, Yellow means slow down, it’s a little too much, and Green means go for it!

Now you know the basics of BDSM for beginners.
