What is BDSM?

BDSM is about Honesty.
- Being honest in what we are into.
- Being honest in what we want out of BDSM.
- Being honest in what we wish to try.
- Being honest with our past.
- Being honest enough to swallow our pride if we screwed up.


BDSM is about Communication.
- Communicate our needs, wants and desires.
- Communicate our limits.
- Communicate our intentions.
- Communicate when we are wanting something different.


BDSM is about Trust.
- Trust your partner with your life and well being.
- Trust that we will not joke about or really out each other.
- Trust that we are honest with each other at all times.
- Trust that our partner will not abuse our relationship for their own motivations.


BDSM is about Respect.
- Respect that our limits are there for a reason.
- Respect that we all have some baggage.
- Respect that there are things that may come up.
- Respect that others may not have the same views.
- Respect other lifestyles and kinks if they are not our own.
