Bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism or BDSM are practices (often sexual in nature) that provide stimulation and intense satisfaction to the persons engaged in the act. While BDSM practices are commonly viewed as either morally degrading or physically abusing, proponents and practitioners view BDSM as safe, sane, and consensual (Sex Information and Education Council of Canada 1).

Looking closely at the components of BDSM, “bondage and discipline (BD) refer to (a) the materials applied to restrain one’s ability to move, or the act of applying the materials. (b) the training administered by a dominant partner to her or his submissive regarding how the submissive should behave. and/ or (c) punishment and correction when the submissive fails to act in the proper manner” (Meeker 155). Sadism and masochism, as the same author purported, involve the emotional and psychological underpinnings of being able to consensually dominate or control one partner. Lastly, sadism and masochism consensually use pain, intense sensation, humiliation, and power exchange for erotic enjoyment (Meeker 155).

The increasing popularity of BDSM as a concrete expression of sexual behaviors has led to the enrichment of ideological tenets. For example, “one might identify as a slave who tops, as a dominant who enjoys receiving pain (masochist), as a submissive who enjoys giving pain (sadist) or as someone who participates in all or none of these roles” (Meeker 155).

Through these findings, it can be further stated that a person’s behavior in any BDSM practice not only reflects his or her understanding of self-identity but more importantly how one intends to assert that mental construct. More clearly, through BDSM, one is able to express the image he or she&nbsp.wants to convey in a manner that is liberating and self-determining.
