11.06.20240
Any, even the most delightful sex with a regular partner sometimes gets boring. And then you accidentally see a picture of a beautiful girl in latex and with a whip and suddenly feel excited. Does this mean that you urgently need to take out a mortgage on a house with a dungeon for passionate games of submission and dominance? Of course not, don't rush. To get started, just try playing BDSM – if only to explore your own sexuality and your personal boundaries.
There is nothing shameful in wanting BDSM
There is nothing taboo or unacceptable in sex at all if both partners agree to experiment. And there's no shame in being new to BDSM. “While investing in kink gear and sex toys can be fun, it is ultimately a form of play. And most of this is psychological and emotional, so you can make do with improvised objects to begin with,” explains sexologist Olga Vasilenko.
Discuss your interests and boundaries
When we talk about dominance and submission in BDSM, we are talking about a consensual exchange of power. This means that even if the bottom partner is tied up and allows the top partner to dictate what happens in the scene, the terms have been discussed and agreed upon by all partners in advance.
“Before you try something new, discuss it with your partner to make sure you both like what's going to happen. Exploring your (and your partner's) arousal and boundaries is part of the fun of BDSM, and discussing the encounter before it begins can be a form of foreplay that heightens anticipation,” says Olga.
