What is BDSM?

You’ve seen it on sites, you’ve heard about it and you’ve even ached to try it with your partner. But what is this BDSM? Mensxp.com takes on this kinky subject to enlighten its readers with the truth behind the taboo.

Defining BDSM

Upon plain definition, the abbreviation expands to Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism - terms of erotic significance. BDSM essentially refers to the erotic pleasures of degrading role play, sadistic disciplining and masochistic submission. The idea is to explore the kinky pleasure behind the pain of flesh or moral degradation. BDSM is essentially an erotic tactic mostly used in sex as a part of foreplay.
The concept of BDSM is far beyond the simple terminology discussed above. The idea of dominance and submission, sadism and masochism are not just sexual ideas, but an ardent lifestyle choice for some. To be able to understand the practice completely, one must decode what each component means as an erotic practice.

Bondage & Discipline

While keeping one bound and gagged for violent reasons has forever been abhorred by society, the situation behind closed doors is a completely different story. The given practice allows people to take on roles of the ‘Top’ (Dominator) and the ‘Bottom’ (Submissive). Bondage essentially involves physical restraining for erotic pleasure. While the novice can indulge in light bondage by using belts and handcuffs to tie the limbs for erotic stimulations, the hardcore practitioners use elaborate contraptions to bind genitalia and limbs for heightened pleasure. Processes like asphyxiation are also a part of the bondage.
Discipline on the other hand is a practice not so different from bondage. It essentially involves psychological restraining by corporal punishment rules for behaviour exerted beyond the acceptable range. The range of punishment can be physical, as in the case of spanking and flagellation, or psychological using degrading language. The concept of inflicting pain for pleasure makes the process extremely erotic for both parties involved.

Sadism & Masochism

Without doubt, these words define the core of BDSM. Sadism and masochism are inspired by pain – infliction and submission. Sadism is the dark impulse experienced by meting pain to the partner, which can be in form of language abuse, spanking or flagellation for the uninitiated and darker practices like asphyxiation, candle wax, electro-stimulation for the experienced. These concepts are intrinsically related to one’s relationship with pain and how much one is willing to push boundaries because of it. The sadistic partner is the one who inflicts the pain and the submissive partner gains erotic stimulations by enjoying every aspect of the pain experienced.
BDSM, although appears to be surreally exciting, must only be exercised with your partner’s discretion. While light practicing is harmless, it is extremely easy to get lost in the power-play and actually end up harming your partner
