BDSM & D/s
Welcome to the BDSM and D/s Resource Section of a slaves heart.
For life is the mirror of king and slave,
'Tis just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
Madeline Bridges (1844-1920)
BDSM stands for "bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism"and describes a form of human sexual behaviour involving amongst other things sexual sado-masochism in a context that is sometimes referred to as SSC (safe, sane and consensual) though others prefer Risk Aware Consensual Kink. That is to say, BDSM is not sexual abuse, which is non-consensual.
