What is the long form of BDSM???

Answer 1

Bondage- tying people up for sexual pleasure. This may include tying for 'practical' purposes- i.e. handcuffing to the bed, roping someone up to keep them immobile while certain 'things' are done to them, or solely for aesthetic pleasure (you should see some of the beautiful knot-work that can be done; it truly is an artform). Rope, chains, phone cord, whatever you have can do it. Bondage has practioners on both sides- those who like to bind others, and those who like to be bound (ideally, you get the two together!). Basically, the pleasure comes down to sexual play with power and control- being helpless, being powerful, etc..

S&M refers to sadism and masochism (or sadomasochism). A sadist is one who receives sexual pleasure from inflicting pain (physical or mental) upon others; a masochist is one who receives sexual pleasure from receiving pain (again, physical or mental). Bondage may be a part of S&M, but not necessarily so. There really is a wide range of what S&M entails: it can be purely emotive/mental, as in name-calling and humiliation/degrading acts like receiving golden showers (being urinated on), made to cross-dress, forced to perform sexual acts, etc., or physical- inflicted with pain like pinching the skin with clips, whipping/spanking, electrocutive torture, fire play, candle wax, etc., etc.. Because of its wide range, the pleasure derived from it is hard to pin down, but mostly it has to do with one's pyschosexual makeup and issues of power, control, submission, and so on. Sometimes there are direct issues that one knowingly seeks to release within their play- someone who has been abused may find pleasure in safely working out similar scenes, or a high-stressed person with a lot of responsibility in the 'real world' may find sexual arousal in relinquishing control and being someone's slave. Other times, it's just what happens to turn you on- like someone likes blue eyes, another person likes the look of a red welt raised on a lover's buttcheek.

BDSM is an allover term that can stand for several things. The B is almost always 'Bondage', D can be either 'Discipline' or 'Domination', the S either 'Submission' or 'Sadism', the M, always 'Masochism'. I've already explained bondage, and discipline is an ambiguous term that I discard. We've already talked about S&M; so the double team of domination and submission are all that's left. D&S is very similar to S&M, and they overlap in many ways- I'd say the main way is that D&S is softer, gentle, and has more to do with the mental/emotional/psychological aspect and less with the physical, or uses the physical as a representation of the domination and submission, rather than as its own sexual nature in itself. Again, it's done for the same reasons as S&M- control, power, etc., etc..

Hope that helps!
