What does BDSM stand for?

BDSM stands for Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, and Sadism & Masochism. It encompasses a wide range of consensual adult activities involving power exchange, restraint, and sensation play.

When used with clear communication, consent, and the SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) or RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink) framework, BDSM can be a safe and fulfilling practice. Always establish a safeword before play.
