Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism and Masochism — these are the words that define BDSM. It’s a type of sexual activity that involves power exchange that has a wide range of practices and activities. Ideally, a BDSM set-up should be consensual with safety taken into account. Although BDSM set-ups and relationships may vary, there are certain rules and principles that need to be followed.

 

CONSENT

This is the most important rule in BDSM. Actually, it’s the most important rule in any sexual activity! If both parties agreed to the terms enthusiastically, only then would it be considered consensual. It’s also important to establish safe words and signals for better communication should anyone feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

 

NEGOTIATION

Limits, desires and boundaries should be discussed before engaging in a BDSM activity. This discussion should be constant, because changes in set-ups may occur. That being said, any changes should be always acknowledged as both parties arise. 

 

RISK AWARENESS

Both parties must know and acknowledge the physical and emotional risks when engaging in a BDSM activity. Physical injury, STDs, trauma are plausible, so precaution must be taken. 

 

POWER EXCHANGE

We briefly discussed this in our previous article. In a BDSM relationship, the dominant and submissive roles are identified. The submissive role relinquishes control while the dominatrix may use physical restraints or other forms of limitation. It is important that both parties understand the power exchange dynamic before engaging in any activities. 

 

AFTERCARE

After the wild activity, it’s important to take care of one another physically and emotionally. Cuddling, reassurance, and checking each other’s emotional state are major factors to do after a BDSM activity. 

 

 

These are the basic rules and principles of any BDSM activity. However, relationships and dynamics may vary depending on both parties. Open communication, respect and consent are keys to a healthy and fulfilling BDSM relationship. 

 

 

Now that we got that covered, the question still remains. Will Ava Mendez follow these rules as a dominatrix in the upcoming Vivamax exclusive DOMME? Or will she have her own set of rules to make you submit? Either way, we can’t wait to know!
