Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

Recently, much has been written in the mass media about the novel and film Fifty Shades of Grey. It was widely portrayed as an example of BDSM (a common abbreviation for the terms bondage, discipline, dominance, submissivity, sadism and masochism) subculture and used as a symbol of sadomasochistic identity. But is this public view based on the self image of BDSM subcultural members or is it a figment of the imagination of writers and journalists? This article presents the voice of BDSM activists, who are silenced and excluded from the public debate. Using a virtual ethnographic method, we analyse the BDSM blogosphere as a platform for subcultural expressions of opinion. We combine this with a documentary analysis. In doing so, we examine how BDSM subculture members perceive themselves in contrast to the mainstream view of them pictured in the book Fifty Shades of Grey. This article investigates to what extent the subcultural conception of BDSM corresponds to the book's depiction and where it differs fundamentally.

Abstract:

Introduction Though BDSM interest (bondage & discipline, dominance & submission and sadism & masochism) has proven to be quite prevalent (46.8% in recent research), there is still significant stigma surrounding it, both in general society and among mental health practitioners. Objectives This research explores the biological mechanisms associated with a BDSM interaction in the hope to strengthen the argument that it does not belong in the psychiatric field. Methods The present study collected data on peripheral hormone levels, pain thresholds and pain cognitions before and after a BDSM interaction and compared these results to a control group. Results show that submissives have increased cortisol and endocannabinoid levels due to the BDSM interaction and that these increases are linked. Dominants showed a significant increase in endocannabinoids associated with power play but not with pain play. 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 Even though this is one of the first studies of its kind, several biological processes can be associated with BDSM interactions, strengthening the hypothesis of BDSM as a healthy form of intimacy and promoting its distinction from paraphilias as they are described in the DSM or ICD classifications.

Abstract:

In this article, based on ethnographic fieldwork, and interviews with 29 self-defined BDSM practitioners, I explore the incorporation process of BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism) in Swedish society. I argue that the so-called ‘good sexuality’ described by Gayle Rubin (2011) and Don Kulick (2005) is still alive as a normative principle in this context. Drawing on Foucault’s concept ‘biopower’ (1976), I show that to gain acceptance and to fit into a society characterized by ‘good sexuality’, BDSM has to be normalized. This normalization process is closely connected to a middle-class hegemony and results in limitations that in various ways affect the practitioners, as well as impacting the transgressive core of BDSM.

Abstract:

This article explores issues of consent in the context of BDSM. I argue that consent is a complex expression which must be thought beyond the ‘yes means yes, no means no’ that proliferates mainstream debates around consent education. This article draws on qualitative interview data to examine how BDSM practitioners talk about consent and consent violations. It examines how these discussions about consent within a BDSM context interact with non-BDSM discussions and how they do, or do not, inform each other. Though consent is centralized in BDSM as a practice of community-building, sometimes consent violations are ignored or dismissed because this community-building also relies on neoliberal constructions of the autonomous self and heteronormative accounts of desire to explain them. These findings have serious implications for better understanding not only of consent within this subcultural practice, but how heteronormative values saturate contexts where unequal power relations or hierarchies manifest themselves outside of this. By insisting on this nuanced understanding of sexual consent, this article transforms existing debates about consensual sexual practice by exploring consent as a grey area, and where violations are experienced as abusive and where they are not. It also offers pertinent insights into how mobilizing an ethical consent praxis might better attend to questions of consent.

This article offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities of BDSM rela-tionships and their differentiation from intimate partner violence (IPV), highlighting the historical and cultural stigmatisation of BDSM practitioners, the impact this has on kinky survivors, and the challenges faced by clinicians in understanding and sup-porting this community. The author critiques the diagnostic and cultural competency limitations that become barriers to care for kinky survivors, offers specific sugges-tions for differentiating consensual kink from IPV, provides risk assessment guidance, and introduces the “Four P’s Framework” to help clients assess their relationship to power within BDSM dynamics.

Abstract:

One less common and more stigmatized form of sexuality is BDSM, which is an umbrella term for consensual practices that involve, but are not limited to, bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&s), and sadomasochism (S&M). Focusing on one of many different conceptualizations, BDSM is comprised of a power dynamic between partners enacted through various activities (for an inclusive list, see Sandnabba et al., 1999; Weinberg et al., 1984). However, beyond being recently accepted as nonpathological, research has yet to reach consensus on BDSM’s nature and development. Specifically, although theories describing its origin abound, it remains unclear whether BDSM is best conceptualized as a sexual behavior, sexual attraction, sexual identity, and/or sexual orientation for those who practice for sexual purposes. Accordingly, the present paper outlines a common framework of sexuality while presenting an alternative yet complementary theory: Consistent with a sex-positive framework, BDSM may be best conceptualized as another form of sexual orientation for a percentage of practitioners.

I begin by offering a fuller definition of trauma play, and I then summarize some of the key scholarly discussions related to the topic, especially the themes of healing, therapy, play, and embodiment. Following this, I take an autoethnographic approach, and I investigate my own trauma play experiences, which I subsequently analyze and use to highlight the need for more systematic research into this understudied topic area that significantly impacts the lives of some BDSM practitioners.

Abstract:

Este artigo com como objetivo apresentar uma análise sobre as relações BDSM no contexto de Campo Grande/MS a partir das narrativas de interlocutores que se desenrolam por meio das mídias digitais. O BDSM é considerado uma sexualidade dissidente, pois transgride e rediscute questões que são colocadas como naturais dentro de uma sexualidade marcada por uma concepção biomédica de normalidade. A metodologia utilizada se serviu de entrevistas com os praticantes de BDSM da cidade e análise documental em redes sociais e blogs específicos do tema. Através da análise da fala dos praticantes, foi possível observar a importância que as mídias digitais assumem em Campo Grande/MS, visto que não há festas, encontros e locais direcionadas a esse tipo de público. Além disso, os resultados mostraram ainda o desejos e tipos de prazeres identificados nas práticas dos membros da comunidade BDSM da cidade, extrapolando a ideia de patologia e reforçando a ideia de normalidade em sua sexualidade. Também foi necessário uma leitura atenta do material numa interação com a bibliografia a fim de discutir a lógicas dos desejos e dos prazeres que descobre o corpo como fonte de erotismo vibrante.

Abstract:

Historically, writers from within and outside the BDSM/Leather community have argued that long-term BDSM relationships are likely to fail due to the incompatibility between satisfying SM and romantic affection (Townsend, 1972) and the unlikelihood of finding a perfect match of fetishes and interests (Money, 1986). The present study tested these arguments using in-depth interviews with 33 individuals in 17 long-term BDSM relationships. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to understand the dynamics of the relationships including the ways the partners met, formed their relationship, negotiated the scope of their power exchange, and navigated the challenges of an unconventional relationship style. Compatibility regarding dominance and submission appeared more important than compatibility regarding sadism and masochism or specific BDSM activities. Power exchange appears to serve purposes beyond sexual satisfaction, including facilitating partner bonding and providing a sense of security. Key relationship values that emerged across couples include a commitment to communication and transparency, a high level of trust, a focus on the partner’s happiness, and the co-construction of a reality that satisfies the needs of both partners. The use of rituals and protocol in difficult times returned the partners to a state of connection to each other, and this re-established bond helped the partners resolve the present upset. The use of deeper protocol when issues arise is contrary to prevailing community rhetoric that advises dropping out of role to solve issues. Thus, rituals give these individuals a different, possibly safer, way to interact so that conflict doesn’t damage their relationships. Results demonstrate that long-term BDSM relationships exist and can be highly functional.

Abstract:

Introduction Les bases de données sur les services médicaux (BDSM) constituent une ressource précieuse pour la recherche et la surveillance au Canada. Toutefois, étant donné que les provinces et les territoires entretiennent des bases distinctes, les éléments de données ne sont pas uniformisés. Dans cette étude, nous comparons les principales caractéristiques des BDSM. Méthodologie La source primaire a été une enquête auprès d'informateurs clés, ce qui a permis de recueillir des renseignements sur les années de disponibilité des données, les caractéristiques des patients et des fournisseurs de soins, les éléments inclus dans les bases de données et ceux exclus ainsi que le codage des diagnostics, des interventions et des lieux de prestation des services. On a également utilisé des données provenant de la Base de données nationale sur les médecins de l'Institut canadien d'information sur la santé (ICIS) pour examiner les modes de rémunération des médecins, ce qui peut influer sur l'exhaustivité des BDSM. Les données d'enquête ont été obtenues pour neuf provinces et deux territoires. Résultats La plupart des bases de données renfermaient des fichiers postérieurs à 1990. Les diagnostics étaient fréquemment inscrits au moyen des codes de la CIM-9. Différents systèmes de codage ont été utilisés selon les provinces et territoires et selon les périodes; néanmoins, dans toutes les BDSM, les services aux malades hospitalisés ont été indiqués comme tels et la médecine familiale a été distinguée des autres spécialités. L'inscription des services rémunérés autrement qu'à l'acte présentait des différences, et les données de l'ICIS révélaient une proportion croissante, au fil du temps, des médecins non rémunérés à l'acte. Conclusion Il faut procéder à des recherches plus approfondies pour étudier les effets que pourraient avoir les différences entre les BDSM sur la comparabilité des résultats des études pancanadiennes.

Abstract:

In recent decades, BDSM communities have engaged in a political struggle for rights by separating their practices from the oppressive gaze of legal and medical praxis, seeking to legitimize BDSM discourse and actions under the slogan of ‘safe, sane and consensual’. The espousal of principles governed primarily by health and safety nonetheless carries a normalizing overtone, apparently trapping the community within the epistemic codes against which they struggle. This article suggests that the security mechanism Foucault identifies as forming part of biopower can serve as a critical analytic capable of arbitrating between BDSM as a form of political resistance to hegemonic sexual norms and the restraints imposed by the ‘safe, sane and consensual’ code itself. We argue that communities using health and safety codes shift the political struggle from direct resistance to sovereign power to the transgression of hegemonic regimes of truth through contingent sexual identification and practice.

Abstract:

This paper reflects upon the ways in which my understandings of BDSM and gender have shifted over the past 10 years of studying kink communities. I begin with my early work on women who identified with both BDSM and femin.ism, and how they presented their positions. Then I touch upon ethical issues of how we research precarious communities, and our role as researchers in making certain narratives available or not. Following this, I summarise an analysis of a BDSM blog which complicates common views of female domination, and raises important questions about gejider in kink communities. Finally I mention my most recent work on shifting understandings of consent within kink communities, and how these are in line with certain strands of feminist thought, pointing to important directions for future research. Throughout the paper I endeavour to draw out implications both for research practice and for how we understand the operation of gender and power in kink communities and beyond.

Abstract:

Objective: Individual differences between BDSM practitioners and non-practitioners are mostly operationalized through the Big Five or clinical personality models. We take different approach and explore other, theoretically relevant, constructs: disgust sensitivity, sexual beliefs, and orientation to social domination. Assumptions for the research we find in the work of McCarey (1973, Moser, 1999), who suggests that BDSM engagement is associated with sexual disgust sensitivity, and in the work of Jozifkova et al. (2012), who theorize that rank disparity between partners is related to sexual excitement.

Abstract:

Objective: To collect quantitative data about the non-intentioned injuries and accidents associated with kinky-BDSM sexual practices, to provide an objective knowledge in this area. Design and Method: It was performed a questionnaire that included three parts (personal data, sexual behaviour data, and injuries data), and was distributed to kinky-BDSM practitioners, 18 or older, who were living in Spain during the study. The distribution was done in three ways: in person; through Internet social network; and with an Adobe forms questionnaire in the project’ website. All the answers were printed, encoded and filed. The data was processed by statistic functions of Microsoft Excel. Results: We obtained a sample with 119 valid answers (77 men, 40 women, 1 transsexual and 1 with non-specified sex). 71.43% of the sample recognized that had suffered at least one accident performing his/hers practices. The % of persons who admit to have suffered an accident was bigger in the group who use drugs when having BDSM-sex, in comparison to who don’t (83.63% against 65.08%). The most common non-intentioned injuries were hematomas (21.51% of the common injuries); most common cause, a spanking not well performed (21.90% of the common accidents). Most common circumstances where the accidents take place were being accompanied (82.89%) and without drug consumption (81.58%). Only in the 40% of the cases, an external aid was searched. Conclusions: The kinky-BDSM practitioners evidence a risk perception bias, because the practice conceived as most dangerous (autoerotic asphyxia) only causes a few accidents/injuries (1.45%) and doesn’t match with the real most dangerous practice (due to the importance of the injuries), the bondage or the most common (spanking). It has been observed a paradoxical relationship about drug consumption and probabilities of accident. It has been done a feedback of the information obtained to the kinky-BDSM community in Spain so they can start to organize activities to make more secure their activities.

Abstract:

Resumo A subcultura BDSM (Bondage, Disciplina, Dominação, Submissão, Sadismo, Masoquismo) organiza-se em torno de práticas eróticas dissidentes, pautadas no consentimento. A partir de uma netnografia, este estudo visa apreender como os adeptos de BDSM se apresentam do ponto de vista identitário no ciberespaço. Neste sentido, blogs e sites relacionados ao BDSM foram acompanhados, bem como redes sociais. Somam-se a este material, entrevistas de adeptos em outras mídias. Técnicas de amostragem por saturação e Análise de Discurso foram aplicadas. Ao erotizarem o poder, constroem jogos eróticos pautados em hierarquias, onde um indivíduo ocupa o papel de dominação e o outro, de submissão. Todavia, para além de um mero papel sexual, os adeptos defendem que tanto a dominação quanto a submissão fazem parte de sua própria natureza, revelando um discurso essencializador ou instaurando o que afirmam ser uma orientação sexual. A partir de cenários, vestimentas e apetrechos sexuais específicos, seus praticantes ressignificam traumas sociais, particularmente os que envolvem a opressão de gênero. A despeito do estigma que marca os sujeitos envolvidos, suas narrativas bebem de alguns dos pilares da subjetividade contemporânea, dos quais se destaca, a valorização da experiência, do desenvolvimento de si e da maximização do prazer.

Abstract:

This study sought to gain insight into the attitudes, beliefs, and values that shape bondage/discipline/sadomasochism (BDSM) activities and to explore the degree and consequences of unintended or non-negotiated harms, including physical, emotional, and sexual violence. A qualitative approach, consisting of 22 semistructured interviews and over 150 hours of observations of BDSM events and activities, was used to develop an in-depth exploration of the lived experiences of participants. Thematic analysis was employed to elucidate the ways in which participants define and in some cases experience harm. Findings suggest that individuals construct rational identities that emphasize safe practices and managing harm; however; there are instances where “boundary slippage” occurs. Implications for understanding the dynamics as well as the potential dangers of “consensual” violence are discussed.

Este artigo visa discutir subversões dos papéis tradicionais de gênero, encontradas em relações BDSM do tipo FemDom, a partir do livro “Eu, Dommenique”, da Dominatrix Profissional Dommenique Luxor. Objetiva-se compreender as dinâmicas subversivas que essas relações permitem às mulheres, que ocupam o papel dominante, e aos homens, que ocupam o papel submisso, analisando algumas práticas que aparecem na narrativa, a saber: Humilhação, Feminização e Inversão. A categoria de análise Gênero será usada para problematizar estas práticas e os papéis socialmente delimitados para homens e mulheres dentro e fora da Comunidade BDSM, juntamente com a proposta de uma Teologia Indecente de Marcella Althaus-Reid para a análise da sexualidade expressa de forma singular nas vivências sadomasoquistas e seus jogos de poder.

Abstract:

Akhlak berarti perilaku seseorang yang didorong oleh keinginan yang sadar untuk berbuat baik. Seorang anak harus memiliki akhlak yang baik sejak usia dini karena anak akan mampu mengatasi pengaruh buruk yang ada di lingkungan sekitarnya. Jika seorang anak memiliki akhlak yang baik, maka dia tidak akan mudah terpengaruh oleh lingkungannya dan tidak akan merubah pendiriannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat design pembelajaran berbasis E-Book sebagai media dakwan siswa milenial. Oleh karena itu, kami merancang sebuah e-book yang dapat diakses melalui website untuk memudahkan siswa sekolah dasar dalam memahami makna akhlak dan cara penerapannya. Kami telah mengamati beberapa siswa kelas VI di Tanjung Jaya, Kab. Sumedang. Berdasarkan observasi yang telah dilakukan, dengan menunjukkan e-book yang telah kita buat dan mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan, kita dapat mengambil beberapa kesimpulan bahwa e-book yang telah kita buat, yaitu (1) Semua siswa setuju bahwa e-book BDSM ini mudah digunakan (2) Siswa setuju e-book BDSM ini membantu dalam memahami sifat Rasulullah SAW (3) Siswa setuju bahwa e-book BDSM ini sangat menarik untuk dibaca.

Abstract:

Whilst the use of flagellation for the purposes of purification, punishment or redemptive salvific activity has long been accepted in Christianity, its use in newly emergent religions such as Wicca, where the religious use of pain cannot be sidelined as an historical aberration but must instead be understood within the context of (post)modern spirituality, has elicited little debate. Whilst purification and, to a far lesser extent, punishment still have their place, in Wicca submission to pain must also be explored in terms of initiatory ordeal, as well as an opportunity for transcendence and as arousal, sensation, and energy generation. However, voluntary submission to the infliction of pain, especially in order to enable religious/spiritual experience, tends to be regarded as anathema and as such, remains largely hidden, concealed behind a veil of categorisations of sexuality and psychopathology. Whilst acknowledging that BDSM remains taboo amongst most practitioners of Wicca, this 60 year old religion contains within its practices elements of techniques often associated with BDSM, techniques which, though having an established history in the world’s religions, are now being pioneered by a small cohort of priests and priestesses within the ritual framework of a twentieth/twenty-first century religion. This article concentrates on those elements now more or less stripped of their association with medieval Christianity, and more commonly framed within the context/s of BDSM.
