What is BDSM?
BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism. It's a complex and diverse range of practices and expressions that can involve power dynamics, role-playing, and various forms of consensual play.
Understanding these terms will help you navigate the selection of gear suited to your interests.
Common Types of BDSM Gear
BDSM gear can be categorized into several main types:
- Restraints: Items like handcuffs, ropes, and tapes allow for secure and safe bondage play.
- Impact Toys: This includes paddles, whips, and floggers used to administer controlled impact.
- Sensory Play Items: Blindfolds, feather ticklers, and clamps fall into this category, enhancing sensory experiences.
- Clothing and Accessories: Items like harnesses and collars often play a role in the dominant/submissive dynamic.
