BDSM Myths – Exploring the misconceptions

Blowing the lid off Kink, Fetishes and Shadow Sexuality) by Sir Dominic (BDSM Master in Sydney)

Firstly, the word ‘BDSM’ is an acronym, but unlike most acronyms, the letters in it are a set of smaller abbreviations, interlocking to define – broadly – a group of concepts that can mean something as short as a good night out at a party with like-minded people or something as deep and varied as a lifestyle practised for a lifetime. BDSM denotes a set of infinite mental, physical and emotional possibilities that can, on first impression, seem as mysterious as a secret cult – but you might be surprised to find out that the chances are good that you’ve had some experience in the field, even if you didn’t know about it at the time and its not just about whips, chains and gimps locked up in a subterranean dungeon. Technically speaking, slapping your partner on the ass during sex is considered a Kinky/BDSM based activity (and is one of the most commonly practised sexual activity outside of standard vanilla sex).
