Communicating Your Desires: Talking About BDSM with Your Partner
Before diving into BDSM play, it’s important to discuss your interests and fantasies openly. Here’s how to start the conversation:
1. Create a Judgment-Free Space
Bring up BDSM in a neutral, non-sexual setting where both of you feel comfortable. Express curiosity rather than making demands.
2. Use Media as a Discussion Starter
Referencing a BDSM book, movie, or article can make the conversation feel less personal and more exploratory.
3. Be Honest About Your Desires & Boundaries
Explain what aspects of BDSM excite you and ask your partner what they’re comfortable exploring.
Setting Boundaries & Safe Practices
Once you’ve discussed interest in BDSM, the next step is defining limits, expectations, and safety measures.
1. Understanding Hard & Soft Limits
- Hard Limits: Activities that are completely off-limits.
- Soft Limits: Activities that may be tried with caution and communication.
2. Choosing a Safe Word
A safe word is a predefined word or phrase that signals when play should stop. Common safe words include:
- Red – Stop immediately.
- Yellow – Slow down or check in.
