BDSM - abbr.
BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism. The term itself gives homage to two legendary perverts - the dominating Marquis de Sade (1740-1814) and the submissive Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895). In general terms BDSM pertains to any sexual interaction involving bondage and/or discipline between a dominating person and a submissive one. A dominating male is referred to as “masters”, while a female one is referred to as a “dominatrix” or a “queen”. The submissive counterparts are referred to as “slaves”. A person who is neither but still considers him or herself as kinky is referred to as “vanilla”. The world of BDSM allows people to act out their dark primordial psychological sexual drives, fantasies, and fetishes. Owing to the safety and anonymity they provide, many people today choose to play BDSM games using live adult sex chat sites.
