Published on October 16, 2019, a sex therapist sought to dispel common misconceptions about BDSM.
Despite its bad rap, BDSM is a consensual practice that involves a range of activities, from bondage to role-playing.
One of the biggest myths surrounding BDSM is that it's only for survivors of abuse. However, this is not the case.
According to a sex therapist, BDSM is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and it's not inherently kinky or abnormal.
So, what does BDSM entail? In its simplest form, BDSM involves a power dynamic between two or more people, where one person takes on a dominant role and the other takes on a submissive role.
However, BDSM is not just about power and control; it's also about communication, trust, and mutual respect.
So, if you're interested in exploring BDSM, here are some tips from a sex therapist:
- Start by learning about the different types of BDSM and what they entail.
- Communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your desires and boundaries.
- Establish a safe word or signal to ensure that you both feel comfortable and safe.
- Remember, BDSM is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and it's not inherently kinky or abnormal.
