It refers to consensual practices that explore power exchange, sensation, and psychological play. At its core, BDSM is about communication, consent, and creating safe, intentional spaces for exploring power and desire. What is a Dominant (Dom/Domme) – The person who takes the leadership or guiding role in a BDSM dynamic. A Dominant holds space, sets structure, and creates safety, allowing the Submissive to fully let go. In healthy dynamics, the Dominant’s power is rooted in consent, responsibility, and respect. What is a Submissive (Sub) – The person who consensually surrenders control in a BDSM dynamic. For many, this surrender can feel deeply restful, freeing them from decision-making or the pressure of constant responsibility. Submissives are not passive; their active consent, communication, and boundaries are essential to the dynamic. What is a Switch – A person who enjoys both Dominant and Submissive roles, depending on the context or partner. Switches may move fluidly between roles, and this flexibility often gives them deep empathy and insight into both sides of the power exchange. What is D/S (Dominance and Submission) – Refers specifically to the dynamic or relationship between a Dominant and a Submissive. This can be sexual or non-sexual and is centered on consensual power exchange, clear communication, and trust. What is a Dominatrix – A professional female Dominant/Dominatrice who engages in consensual BDSM activities, often specializing in power exchange, discipline, and role-play. What is Femdom – A term describing Female Domination, where the woman holds the Dominant role in a BDSM or D/S dynamic. ____ *Stay Connected with The Circle* YouTube →    / @queermensembodiment   Instagram →   / queermensembodiment   Website & Community → https://www.myembodiment.com *Connect with Ms. Elle X* YouTube →    / @ellex   Instagram →   / thewisedomme   Patreon & Discord Community →   / ellexerotica   ____ If this episode resonated with you, share it, leave a review, and tag us—we love hearing what landed for you.
