BDSM is short for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. All the letters decline any consensual sexual activity that involves power exchange between partners. Although most people are used to males becoming the dominating partners in the BDSM community, it can be the other way round. Allowing women to take control of sexual activities positively affects the relationship.
What is Kink Anyway?
Although BDSM and Kink are used interchangeably, the two are different creatures. The latter describes any sexual activity that involves more than two people or partners with non-conventional desires and fantasies. In the BDSM community, power exchange is the order of the day, while in kink, it is optional.

Should You integrate Kink or BDSM with Your Sex Life?
From the relationship expert’s point of view, the choice depends on your preferences. Bring your partner on board before trying any of these non-traditional sexual activities.
