The Potential Benefits of a BDSM Relationship
BDSM relationships incorporate consensual erotic bondage and discipline practices. The term BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism) is a catch-all phrase for a range of concepts and practices centered upon a power exchange within the context of sexual intimacy. Other activities in BDSM may include controlled voyeurism, exhibitionism, and role-playing.
Where BDSM was often treated as taboo in the past, couples and sex therapists are increasingly recognizing its potential benefits.
