Hello, Before starting my submissive relationship, I had preconceived ideas about BDSM. When I thought about it, I pictured people in leather whose practices were linked to pain. Although sadomasochism is part of it, BDSM is much more than that. First of all, it is an acronym: B for Bondage, D for Domination, S for Sadism, M for Masochism. Behind each of these letters lies an incalculable number of practices that may or may not be independent. Example: bondage includes both restraint play with simple handcuffs and Shibari. In my view, two values are common to all BDSM practices, whatever they are: consent and respect. I'll let you tell me what you think, and did you, like me, have preconceived ideas before discovering this world?
