BDSM is an abbreviation for bondage & discipline, domination & submission, and sadism & masochism. These words alone carry little meaning, as only together do they create sexual relations of both partners one of whom is dominant and the other submissive. Despite popular opinion, BDSM does not refer to sexual violence, as both the partners agree on certain limits and actions. BDSM can include such activities as domination, discipline, bondage, physical punishment, submissiveness, yet all of them lead to full commitment  and release the deepest sexual needs and fascinations of both partners.
