At one end where vanilla sex and dating do not carry any term as consent or an open discussion on what one desires because those conversations aren’t an explicit part of the courtship success. Things like when to have sex, what kind of sex to have, and how the relationship dynamics might be established have no existence as they are not felt to be discussed. However, it requires an explicit discussion of each individual’s needs, fantasies, and limitations, which gives them both the approach towards the heightened sense of simultaneous freedom and security.

As per Allison, a white Jewish, queer woman, a submission is an act of trust. It’s also an act that provides her with a deep sense of security.

Power is the key to make it impossible that there can be any BDSM without power. Power is applied everywhere in it. More exactly when power exchange is held, it is done to achieve a predetermined outcome people engage with an existing and created power dynamic.

Sometimes it could be scripted down to the dialogue or less so that it might simply be a set of power dynamics with room for both the partners to explore their desires and limits.

A self-described “straight white-dominant guy” Jeff says, “The irony of the BDSM dom fantasy, of using the other person purely for your own enjoyment, is of course that you’re intensely focused on their enjoyment.” The thing that makes the work as a practice is the mutual exchange of power.

As said by Xan West, “What I think BDSM offers the possibility of, is models for conscious engagement with power and consensual negotiation of power in relationships.” She continues, “We cannot create relationships that are free of power, however much we may wish that were possible. We play out power and privilege in our relationships all the time.” As it offers the possibility of, is a model for conscious engagement with power and consensual negotiation of power in relationships.

As said by many of the BDSM players that it is very obvious and normal that one gets hurt in the scene, physically or emotionally, after all, kinky people are still people and abusive or bad behavior can be covered up by kink dynamics. There is a framework for thinking about power, it is assumed that it’s not possible to have sex without power. It also requires consent and discussion of triggers and boundaries which could benefit vanilla without any kink even where there is no scope of open discussions or any boundaries.

To conclude, it is an intensely psychological practice, but it’s also one intimately entangled with power, privilege, and access. It is the practice relying more on self-discovery and self-exploration. This is a space to examine oneself, push boundaries, and transform in an unexpected and thrilling way.
