Defining Kink and BDSM

Kink and BDSM encompass sexual practices and desires that go beyond vanilla or traditional sexual experiences. Kink can involve anything outside the norm, while BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism. BDSM covers a broad spectrum of power dynamics, including restraint, impact play, power differentials, and consensual non-consent. It's important to note that BDSM can be consensual and involves active communication and negotiation between partners.
