What is BDSM/Kink?
Yes let’s break down what BDSM Stands for: Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadochism, and Masochism. Folks may enjoy BDSM/Kink for multiple reasons, it’s a sexual fantasy, fetish, it helps slow down sex at the moment, sensory deprivation, it requires consent, there are several conversations regarding yes, nos, and maybes, as well as, discussing what kind of role you may play, dominant aka dom, or submissive, aka sub. BDSM/Kink are based on a couple of different theories, SSC: Safe, Sane & Consensual, RACK: Risk Awareness Consensual Kink, PRICK: based off RACK, Personal Responsibility Informed Consensual Kink, and 4C’s: Caring, Communication, Consent & Caution. You may think, oh Jackie isn’t that what all sex is based on? No, not really, these practices are what BDSM/Kink started and you would hope that all sexual experiences are this way, and that’s not always the case.

What are some Badass BDSM/Kink Resources?
Oh here we go now! There’s a lot of great things out there! The number one book you HAVE to read or I suggest to start with is if you’re considering BDSM/Kink play in my humble sex therapist opinion: The Ultimate Guide to BDSM/Kink by Tristian Taormino. This book honestly changed my life and love of learning for BDSM/Kink play. It has a different perspective, which I SO enjoy and love!! What I love about this book is it breaks down that BDSM/Kink play can be creative and doesn’t have to be expensive. Look around your home for items, places, positions, and other things that can help get you and your partner(s) in the mood for some BDSM/Kink playtime! Want to take a BDSM Test to understand about your sexual deviant or sexual goddess? Say no more, here you go! There are two versions, short and long. I recommend the long if you’re taking this the first time to understand all the terminology, results, and definitions!
