What does BDSM/D/s/S/M?

Ah, but let's not forget the one rule: Safe, Sane and Consensual--I think it's about the only thing we all agree on. It basically means (and here some might disagree) no permanent damage, no death ('cause then you couldn't play anymore) and respect hard limits. With that in mind, play to your heart's (or any other body part's) content. Welcome to forums, and the lifestyle, sexyslave69!

There is no "one rule" and certainly not SSC. Go read up, here and elsewhere, on the many many discussions on SSC v. RACK. And WIITWD as a backlash to both the former. And speaking of made-up stuff (per my previous comment regarding acronyms,) there is now PRICK. Originally a joke that has been taken up as a legitimate approach to BDSM play, (though how it differs from RACK is all in the semantics imo.)

SSC and RACK and WIITWD were originally all affectations that we use to explain ourselves to the vanilla community, though to no avail, because there's no rationality when it comes to detering the sexually repressed or "morally superior" population.
