BDSM is term used
to describe two or three
sexual fetish interests. There
are three major areas that
are encompassed in the term
BDSM. They
are :
Bondageand Discipline
(B&D) =
BD Dominance and
Submission (D&S)
= DS Sadism and Masochism,
Sadomasochism
(S&M) = SM
By putting together the
abbreviations for the above
we get BD+DS+SM =
BDSM or BD+SM =
BDSM.
It should
be noted that an interest in
just one of these areas doe
not mean a person
is into all aspects of
BDSM altogether. A
person can have an interest in
bondage, but that
does not
automatically mean they are
interested in
dominance and
submission or
sadomasochism.
Likewise, a person can have
an interest in
sadomasochism,
without having an interest in
bondage
or discipline. However
many of the same sex toys
are used in many type of
areas. For example, you
might use a whip if you are
into bondage and
discipline or
if you are just into
Sadomasochism or
you might
need a collar for your
Bondage and
discipline play,
hence a bondage
collar, but you might also
need a collar if
your into dominance
and submission, in
which case it would be
considered a slave collar or
submissive
collar.
