BDSM: What Does It Mean and How Does It Relate to Erotic Massage
BDSM has long been a thing that evokes mixed feelings. Some see it as a fun way to add a “spice” to life, while others associate it with sadism and pain. What if we tell you that BDSM can be a part of your erotic massage? If you are puzzled by the question “BDSM what does it mean, and how can it be combined with a massage session?”, you can find an answer further in the article.
BDSM: What Does It Stand For?
If you are among those looking for an answer to the question, “BDSM, what does it stand for?”, here are the acronyms and their meaning:
- BD stands for bondage and discipline. This part often includes tying up and punishing.
- DS stands for dominance and submission. It means exactly what it says, a receiver is dominated and submissive.
- SM stands for sadism and masochism: This often involves actions that bring pain.
As you can see, BDSM is a complex and multilayered concept. Still, you do not need to experience all the elements at once (especially if you are new to it).
The Principles of Consent, Communication, and Boundaries
Consent, communication, and boundaries are important for making BDSM an enjoyable experience. As it often involves pain, tying, and submission, placing one person under the control of the other person, clear communication with all the limits set is critical.
Anything can become “too much” in the process, so it is important to have a safe signal. This is a word or phrase that allows a person in control to stop immediately and end the session.
How BDSM relates to erotic massage
Whenever an erotic massage that is sensual and gentle is too boring for you, it is possible to add some spice to it with BDSM practices. They are integrated into the session naturally so that a receiver gets both a relaxation with stroking and gentle touches and an intense part with BDSM practices that might include some or all of the following:
- whipping with a whip;
- bondage with partial or complete restriction of movements;
- foot fetish;
- limitation or complete deprivation of the ability to see, hear, or speak;
- wax play with dripping wax on the back, shoulders, and buttocks.
The set of practices is discussed with your masseuse before the BDSM massage begins, so you can clearly state which of those you would like to try and which should be avoided.
Safety checklist before a BDSM-themed erotic massage
Discussion of boundaries is just one point on the safety checklist before the erotic BDSM massage, as it also includes the following actions:
- agree on a safe word with your therapist;
- ensure you have no health conditions for which BDSM is not recommended;
- do not consume alcohol or drugs;
- respect emotional comfort
On their side, masseuses ensure you come to a private and safe space. They use hypoallergenic products and plan an aftercare routine.
Even though it might be difficult to imagine how BDSM and erotic massage can be combined into one session, this kind of massage already exists and is practiced a lot. If you are searching for that missing “spice”, it might be hidden in one of the BDSM practices. So, do not miss an opportunity to experiment with it.
