I found an article today from a Jamaican news site discussing BDSM. I find the perspective interesting (the author calls BDSM “Kinky sex”, which I would argue with. I think that BDSM is one type of kinky sex, there are others).
The term BDSM describes the activities between consenting partners that contain sadistic and masochistic elements, which involve the inflicting or receipt of pain to derive pleasure. It includes bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&S) and sadism and masochism (S&M).
The term ‘vanilla’ refers to normative (‘non-kinky’) sex and relationships, the vanilla world being mainstream society outside of the BDSM subculture. The term comes from vanilla ice cream, which is considered the ‘default’ flavour.
Check out the whole article here. Seems that other countries are doing better discussing BDSM than we do here in the Atates.
