Fetish of the Month October 2021: BDSM
BDSM became one of the best known fetishes after the release of the popular mainstream movie Fifty Shades of Grey. Over the past year we have been featuring various different fetishes to get you in touch with your kinky side. BDSM can easily be referred to as the umbrella of all fetishes as it covers most all fetish bases. BDSM is often referred to as Bondage but the acronym “BDSM” refers to Bondage, Discipline (Dominance), Sadism (Submission) and Masochism. Many people go hardcore in their minds when they imagine in their mind about BDSM picturing the rope, the whips, and the mask but it’s not always defined as that hardcore of sadomachism to all people. It carries a broad diversity which is why all fetishes generally lead back to BDSM in one form or another.
In the art on Bondage it takes on several types. The most commonly seen in mainstream is bondage restraints with the use of handcuffs, ropes, chains which allows one partner to become the dominant partner and one partner plays the submissive role. The use of a safe word between the partners provides the trust to allow the dominant partner to explore pushing the boundaries. It may be the art of seeing the sub partner bound, gagged and blindfolded that is the turn on. Maybe they introduce some popular acts like spanking or cropping. The art of the surprise with seductive tongue play, ice cubes or the use of bondage toys that stimulate the senses. There is a quote found in Psychology Today: The Pleasure of Pain that nicely describes the psychology of bondage “Some people have to be tied up to be free”.
Often a part of the BDSM culture is the use of leather or latex mask and outfits. Many people have a fetish directly related to the leather or latex, maybe triggered by the smell, the feel, or the look of the product. Often the outfits related to the bondage culture are very visually stimulating as well as useful in applying the technique to BDSM. These outfits can help to bind body parts together, apply pressure to sexual organs, allow the suspension from the ceiling or other objects. This begs the question of where to store all these materials. As seen in the 50 shades movie those who take the art of BDSM seriously can create playrooms in their homes to store and use the equipment, tools and outfits under lock and key for privacy to your deepest secrets and fetishes.
