BDSM: Belonging On The Denver Sanctuary

The term BDSM was created in 1969. BDSM includes bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&S), and sadism & masochism (S&M). Bondage is consensually tying, binding, or restraining a partner for erotic stimulation. Materials such as rope, cuffs, bondage tape, or other restraints may be used for this purpose. Dominance and submission is a set of roles where the dominant has the power and the submissive is willingly giving themselves to their partner. Physical contact is not a necessity, and D/S can even be conducted anonymously over the telephone, email, or other messaging systems. In other cases, it can be intensely physical, sometimes crossing into sadomasochism. Both parties take pleasure or erotic enjoyment from either dominating

A flogger is a device used to flog, or whip, a partner or lover, usually during a BDSM scene. Floggers are usually made from several tails attached to a rigid handle. The tails may be made from a number of materials, including horsehair, rubber or leather. In BDSM, the aim isn't to harm but to use pain to increase sensation for sexual pleasure. Floggers can be made countless different ways by combining different tails with different colors and patterns on the handles. When people think of handcuffs in BDSM they usually think of police handcuffs. In BDSM they do not use metal handcuffs because it can be unsafe. Bondage cuffs are used as restraints for sexual bondage situations.
