BDSM principles

In BDSM, nothing works without principles that everyone adheres to. Among the most well-known are SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) and RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink). These go far beyond the usual agreements in an ordinary implicit relationship. One of the peculiarities of BDSM is that it questions conventional principles and relationship patterns and clarifies in clear, open dialogues exactly what the participants expect from the BDSM relationship. This applies to short-term kinky affairs as well as long-term play partners, life partners, and everything in between. Knowing these principles is essential for healthy play. And here, Deviance explains what they are, what matters, and how to best communicate with your play partner.
