Full textAbstract:
In this article, we explore the ways BDSM practitioners negotiate gender. Based on 32 in-depth interviews with BDSM practitioners and thousands of message board posts from the then-largest online BDSM community in the USA, we explore the explanatory frameworks BDSM practitioners use to (1) downplay and (2) emphasize dominant notions of gender to make sense of BDSM practices and experiences. In so doing, we discuss some ways BDSM practices and interpretations may both challenge and reproduce broader societal patterns of gender inequality. In conclusion, we draw out implications for understanding (1) variation in the utilization of gender beliefs and assumptions within BDSM cultures, and (2) the consequences these patterns have for the reproduction of gender inequality.

Full textAbstract:
Consent represents a central focus in the controversial realm of BDSM—an overlapping acronym referring to the practices of Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism. Many authors have argued that the hallmark feature that distinguishes BDSM activity from abuse and psychopathology is the presence of mutual informed consent of all those involved. This review examines the relevant literature on consent in BDSM, including discussions on safety precautions, consent violations, North American laws pertaining to BDSM practice, and the role of the BDSM community with respect to education and etiquette surrounding consent. Practical information relevant to professionals who work toward the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse is provided. The explicit approach to consent practiced by those in the BDSM community is proposed as a model for discussions around consent in clinical and educational contexts. Criteria for distinguishing abuse from BDSM and identifying abuse within BDSM relationships are outlined. It is our hope to demystify the consent process and add to the growing body of literature that destigmatizes consensual BDSM practices.

Introduction BDSM is an acronym describing bondage & discipline, dominance & submission and sadism & masochism. Afflicting or receiving pain is usually an important part of the BDSM interaction. Objectives This research focuses on better understanding the aspect of pain within a BDSM interaction by investigating the differences in 1) baseline pain thresholds, 2) the impact of a BDSM interaction on those thresholds and 3) threshold moderating factors like pain cognition between submissive and dominant BDSM participants and control individuals. Methods Submissive and dominant counterparts of 35 couples were recruited to participate in a BDSM interaction, of which 34 dominants and 33 submissives were included in analyses. A non-BDSM interested control group (n=27) was included to control for social interaction, of which 24 were included in analyses. Pain threshold measurements were measured at three points in time and pain cognitions scales were taken. Results BDSM practitioners have a higher pain threshold overall and a BSDM interaction will result in a temporary elevation of pain thresholds for submissives. Additionally, pain thresholds in dominants will be dependent upon their fear of pain and tendency to catastrophize pain and submissives will experience less fear of pain than the control group. Conclusions This study helps shed further light on the biological processes behind a BDSM interaction through pain threshold measurements. By enhancing our understanding of the mechanisms behind a BDSM interaction in this way, we aspire to relieve the stigma these practitioners still endure. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract The Fifty Shades trilogy is often associated with BDSM, yet practitioners of BDSM typically disavow the trilogy. Previous research highlights how mechanics of BDSM such as agency and consent are misrepresented in the trilogy; this study highlights differences in affect. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among BDSM practitioners in Berlin, Germany, this paper considers reception beyond reading as evidence of BDSM’s affective phenomenology. The paper combines an Ortner-inspired “cultural ethnography through discourse” with close reading: it compares discourse and affect observed in the field with that in the novels, and suggests that the portrayal of BDSM in the novels and portrayals of the novels as representations of BDSM misinterpret the affective phenomenology of BDSM. Through attention to language, this study shows how affect and situated discourse become mutually constitutive in shaping the legibility of phenomenological experience, suggesting that playful reterritorializations of semiotic forms can counter mimetic perpetuations of symbolic violence.

Cel pracyCelem podjętych badań było poznanie narracji i próba opisu w jaki sposób osoby identyfikujące się z praktykami BDSM (sadomasochizm (S/M), bondage and discipline (B&D)) opisują je, jak je definiują oraz jakie upatrują funkcję praktyk w ich życiu.MetodaW badaniu została zastosowana metodologia badań jakościowych – teoria ugruntowana. Zgodnie z jej założeniami, celem jest zbudowanie teorii średniego zasięgu w oparciu o dużą ilość, różnorodnych danych. Grupę badaną stanowiły osoby w wieku 20-49 lat, identyfikujące się jako praktykujące BDSM. Przeprowadzono wywiady intensywne z 12 osobami.WynikiNa podstawie analizy językowej wywiadów wyodrębniono kategorie związane z tożsamością oraz definicją BDSM. Następnie stworzono model teoretyczny opisujący proces definiowania własnej seksualności u osób praktykujących BDSM.WnioskiBadania pokazały stadialność procesu definiowania i akceptowania swojej seksualności przez osoby praktykujące BDSM oraz wieloaspektowość identyfikacji z własną rolą w BDSM. Punktem wyjścia kształtowania się identyfikacji z praktykami BDSM była tożsamość płciowa i orientacja seksualna. Osoby badane definiowały swoją seksualność poprzez identyfikowanie się z rolą w praktykach BDSM lub poprzez czasowe podejmowanie określonej roli. Wydaje się jednak, że definiowanie własnej seksualności u osób praktykujących BDSM nie jest systemem zero-jedynkowym ograniczonym do „tożsamości” lub „roli”, ale raczej continuum, rozciągającym się pomiędzy nimi.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction The past years BDSM (an acronym for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism) has gained a significant amount of attention and popularity in the general population, portraying an inaccurate image of BDSM and the people who share these interests. Yet despite this increasing popularity, only little empirical research has focused on this subject and it’s possible driving mechanisms so far, sustaining the existing misconceptions and stigma towards BDSM in general and BDSM practitioners in specific. Objectives We aimed to gain more insights on understanding the underlying psychological mechanisms, such as sensation seeking and coping, in people who participate in BDSM-related activities, as well as into the factors which contribute to the existing stigma and discrimination Methods In a national survey study 256 Dutch-speaking BDSM-practitioners were compared to a matched sample of people from the general Belgian population (N = 300) who lack any interest in BDSM in two separate studies. Results About 86% of the general population maintained stigmatizing beliefs about these sexual interests and practices. In regard to sensation seeking and coping, compared to controls, BDSM practitioners reported signifcantly higher levels of sensation seeking for all dimensions, as well as the use of more active coping skills. Conclusions People who do not conform to the current social standards of our society often seem to remain the subject of stigmatization and discrimination. Further research is needed to explore the psychological processes that drive BDSM interests in order to destigmatize and normalize consensual BDSM-related activities.

Full textAbstract:
Dini ini, BDSM banyak dibicarakan dalam media sosial maupun dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Banyak masyarakat yang tertarik dan penasaran untuk sekadar mengetahui atau terjun dalam dunia BDSM. Rasa penasaran dan kurangnya pengetahuan dapat menyebabkan kerugian seperti luka, cacat atau kematian kepada partner BDSM scene. BDSM bukan merupakan tindak pidana walaupun sangat erat kaitannya dengan kekerasan karena dilakukan dengan consent. Dalam ilmu kejiwaan, sadisme dan masokisme termasuk dalam parafilia. Namun, penyimpangan tersebut tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai alasan untuk menggugurkan pemidanaan dikarenakan bukan termasuk yang dikecualikan pada Pasal 44 KUHP. Sehingga, pelaku BDSM yang menyebabkan luka, cacat dan hilangnya nyawa akan tetap dipidana.

Full textAbstract:
Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork within BDSM communities in Sweden, this article focuses on links between non-monogamy and BDSM. Drawing on Halberstam´s concept of queer space, the following questions are investigated: What are the connections between BDSM and non-monogamous communities? How does interaction between BDSM and non-monogamous practices create non-normative logic? The transgression of one norm makes it easier to transgress other norms as well, providing opportunities to find new ways of organizing relationships beyond the norms of monogamy. In order for an individual to be able to fully explore kinks in BDSM practices and at the same time respect the boundaries of a partner, nonmonogamy emerges as one logical answer.

Full textAbstract:
Within psychoanalysis, BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, sadism and masochism) has typically been interpreted as pathological, resulting from the (gendered) tension between assertion and recognition developed in the oedipal phases and enforced in dominant ideology. To practitioners, however, BDSM recognises the physical and psychological dependence of people on each other. The tasks inherent to successful BDSM redefine traditional masculine and feminine identity; dominants recognise their own dependence and submissives are independently powerful. Expanding on feminist psychoanalytic theory, this paper argues that BDSM relations may embody the psychologically ideal state of ‘mutual recognition.’ Practitioners take pleasure in connection without the threat of engulfment. Significantly, the skills developed in BDSM may help mediate a variety of interpersonal and institutional power relations.

Full textAbstract:
BDSM practitioners typically report higher sexual satisfaction than the general population (Botta et al., 2019; Joyal & Carpentier, 2017; Strizzi et al., 2022). One possible reason for this is that the BDSM community prioritizes open communication and challenges traditional sexual scripts. In a sample of 376 individuals, we found a positive association between BDSM participation and sexual satisfaction which was fully mediated by direct communication about sex. These results build upon previous literature that emphasizes the vital role of communication in sexual satisfaction, broadening this result to a more sexually diverse population. In addition, the frameworks used by BDSM communities could inspire the use of similar strategies to improve communication and sexual satisfaction in non-BDSM populations.
