The word BDSM has been in the limelight lately due to the controversial case that set the world on fire a couple of years ago. Then, Fifty Shades of Gray rode on the hype and it became more popular.
At first, BDSM practitioners are in the down-low with regards to their lifestyle. But now, it is getting rampant and oversexualized.
The Truths on BDSM
BDSM or defined as Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism, is a wordplay describing a lifestyle choice of some individuals. BDSM is more than just sex. It extends to the lifestyle of an individual.
Historically speaking, the practice of BDSM dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, where physical pain is regarded as a stimulus. Similar accounts can be said to be found in literature such as Kama Sutra, writings of Marquis de Sade, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (where the word masochism is derived), and more.
Before the time when the lifestyle was not yet accepted, being in a BDSM relationship is considered being mentally ill. However, studies proved that as long as consenting adults are engaged in such behavior, then it can be considered normal.
People are drawn to BDSM because they find ordinary (or vanilla)sex to be bland, and they wanted more stimulation or more flavor to their sex life. According to clinical psychologist Francesca Gentille, “The same chemical cocktail of endorphins, dopamine, and other hormones that make those experiences pleasurable to some makes BDSM actually quite wonderful to others.”
Safewords are very important in BDSM. There are common terms in BDSM practitioners, such as SSC or Safe, Sane and Consensual, or RACK which means Risk-Aware Consensual Kink. The most common safe word or indicators of progress in BDSM are based on the traffic light system. Red for stop, yellow or amber means slow down, and green for go.
What is a BDSM Cam?
BDSM cam is a description for a cam site or a live streaming site that features a model or models engaged in the act of BDSM. Some of the sites have features like command prompts where a series of available commands or actions can be bought.
BDSM can feature a range of different BDSM involvement. It may be simple choking or doing chores to intricate bondage such as rigging, humiliation, flogging, and more.
BDSM Cam Review
What I like about BDSM cams are the limits clearly set by the models. Upon visiting a cam site, you will immediately notice their likes, hard nos, expertise, and command or action prompts. After all, BDSM is a trust-based sexual play.
Once you are into a character, you can hurt someone with your actions (especially in a submissive).
Another plus point in this area is that newbies in the lifestyle can check and have a feel if this is really for them before jumping out and taking the plunge. It can also help show the viewers the real side of BDSM, that it is more than just a kink, or a sexual act.
With advantages, there can also be disadvantages. On the live stream site, anyone can interact with you. You have no control (as a model and as a user) over the actions of others. In a BDSM Club, there is a moderator where they monitor the obedience of the members to the rules of the kink in general.
In live cam shows, however, no one has to regulate you or your viewer’s actions. This may prove dangerous, especially if a model or viewer is so committed to the scene.
So when using this type of service, or any service in general where you can be taken advantage of, extra care and vigilance are always advised.
BDSM is becoming a very popular fetish. As with all things, too much or too little of something is dangerous. So it is important that before we dive into this kink, we should do research and properly set our boundaries.
Only by doing these things can you assure yourself and your partner to have sexual satisfaction.
