Thanks to the popularity of movies, TV shows, and books, BDSM has become much more popular in the past few years. However, many people aren’t sure what exactly BDSM entails. BDSM stands for Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism—words that can seem intimidating at first glance! Don’t worry though; we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about Sacramento BDSM—from what kind of activities are considered part of it to whether or not it’s right for you.

What is kink?

Kink—often seen as a subculture that focuses on bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism—is more commonly referred to as BDSM (bondage & discipline, dominance/submission, sadism & masochism). Too many people who are kinky (or identify as kinky), however, it’s about so much more than sex. Many kinksters see themselves as part of a diverse community; one that values consent, communication and respect for all involved. And when we say all involved … We mean ALL involved. That includes bystanders in public spaces; those watching from behind a glass window; even those who are secretly observing at home.

What is bondage and domination?

BDSM is bondage and domination. Though BDSM stands for a variety of things, when we talk about Vibe City here, we’re talking about a relationship that includes dominance and submission. This can mean sexual dominance and submission—the giving or receiving of pain or pleasure—or it can be applied in non-sexual ways as well. The most important thing to remember is that both parties need to consent; there is no such thing as forcing someone into an SM relationship. Within limits, there are many ways you can give and receive pain. For example: flogging someone with a multi-tailed whip; rubbing their face in dirt; getting tied up for hours on end—these are all good examples of what goes into BDSM relationships at vibe-city.us.

What is submission and dominance?

If you aren’t already familiar with BDSM, your first question is probably: What’s with all of these cryptic acronyms? Dominance and submission, or D&S (also known as D/s or Ds), is a relationship in which one person has power over another. The submissive partner is referred to as submissive while the dominant partner is called a dominant; often they are called tops and bottoms respectively. It can be sexual in nature—think blindfolds and handcuffs—but that isn’t necessarily always true. Just because people engage in it doesn’t mean they have kinky sex lives.

Different types of dominance and submission relationships

Dominance and submission (D/s) relationships can take a number of forms. In all forms of D/s, one person takes on a dominant role, while another takes on a submissive role. There are different types of dominance and submission relationships (also called D/s relationships), with varying levels of intensity. Here are some popular categories for these sorts of power dynamics -Master / slave: The Master is in control of every aspect of his or her slave’s life.

The slave must do whatever he or she is told by their master, even if it means giving up their own free will or identity. -Domestic discipline: This type of relationship focuses on structure and order within a family unit. It typically includes chores and other responsibilities that are assigned by one partner to another as part of maintaining order in their household. Domestic discipline relationships may also include corporal punishment as part of enforcing rules set forth by either partner within that relationship.

The different types of people involved in the kink community

There are hundreds of different kink-related identities. One of my favorite part about being in kink community is meeting people who you might not be friends with in your day-to-day life, but you certainly appreciate them and their influence on how you think or behave. Most people tend to fall into one of five categories: masochist, submissive, sadist, dominant and switch. Some people have characteristics that cross more than one category (some switches play as both a masochist and a sadist for example), but most people identify with just one role at a time.
