 Bondage & Sadomasochism (BDSM)

My BDSM Gallery is composed of works depicting the use of bondage, dominance & submission and sadomasochism. The single biggest rule and prime directive in the BDSM lifestyle is that participation in these activities is completely consensual. The motto often used is Safe, Sane and Consensual. An open mind is required.

BDSM is an acronym of

  • "B&D" (Bondage & Discipline)
  • "D&S" (Dominance & Submission)
  • "S&M" (sadism & masochism)

"BDSM" refers to any or all of these concepts, and much more.

BDSM is based upon the consensual exchange of power by the participants. One person (the ‘submissive’) agrees to submit to another person (the ’dominant’). In turn, the dominant agrees to give the submissive what they wish within the parameters of the agreement between them.

Trust and respect are key tenants to the relationship, which may last hours or a lifetime.

It's not for everyone but it is everywhere.
