Power, pain, and humiliation are not usually considered components of healthy and harmonious human relationships – but BDSM culture has been trying to prove the opposite for many years.
Key principles of BDSM
Researchers identify four themes around which BDSM practices are built:
- Psychological dominance and submission – the distribution of roles into the slave and the Master.
- Causing pain with hot wax, whipping, electricity, sharp objects, etc.
- Physical restraints – bondage, use of handcuffs, gags, and bandages.
- Psychological humiliation – swearing, the use of racial and other stereotypes, treating a person as an object and property.
But the main component of all relationships within BDSM is agreement and mutual consent. Before the start of each session, participants should be clear about what they are allowed to do. To determine the line that cannot be crossed, special questionnaires and detailed contracts are often used. Any of the participants can use a stop word and instantly terminate the interaction if something goes wrong.
Fixing devices
BDSM games are accompanied by the use of a huge amount of necessary tools. Now on the shelves of sex shops, you can find a diverse range of fixing devices, accessories, and themed items. They are used to immobilize and additionally limit the lower partner, hurt him, and play with erogenous zones. Some accessories have no practical value and are used only for beauty and image creation.
Main games
Each couple chooses what kind of interaction will take place during the session. There is a wide assortment of games on luxbondage.com. For example, just having sex with a fixed partner (or with a partner in handcuffs) is already BDSM, the way and the easy one. Someone can limit the session only to punishment, without direct sexual intercourse. There are no definite rules here, it is necessary to follow only the basic principles of the subculture.
