The acronym BDSM represents a set of practices, fantasies and erotic dynamics that involve elements of power, control, pleasure and, often, consensual pain. The acronym is formed by four pairs of concepts: B – Bondage (tying up, restricting movements) D – Discipline (rules, punishments, behavioral control) D – Domination S – Submission S – Sadism (pleasure in causing consensual pain or humiliation) M – Masochism (pleasure in feeling consensual pain or humiliation) These elements can be combined in different ways between adults and always with consent, safety and clear communication. One of the central rules in BDSM is the concept of "SSC" – Safe, Sane and Consensual. #bdsm
