Let’s Talk About Shh… Intro to BDSM

BDSM can seem pretty intimidating when you know nothing about it, that’s why we wanted to do this intro. It covers some of the basic things that people interested in experimenting should know before they get started. It’s important to note that those who are interested in BDSM are not sick or weird. Kinky activities and interest in them are perfectly normal.

In this episode, we discussed the importance of safewords. We talked about how they should be used, what sorts of things you should consider when picking them, and what to do if someone uses a safeword. This plays a huge role in boundary setting. We discussed how people can go about setting boundaries, or determining what their boundaries are.

We also defined what aftercare is and why it’s an important way to wrap up a play session. We made several suggestions on what could go into building an aftercare kit as well.

Finally, we discussed the different types of roles people can take in BDSM and how that works out to the balance of power. We also had a caller, Jared, for this episode. He added some valuable points about joining the scene for the first time and playing with people you don’t really know.
