What is BDSM?

[Nuadu]

You would be correct in that assumption(that D/S is not an activity). In fact, there was a discussion recently that was started by a member here that also thought BDSM was just an activity. You can view that topic here. I think it might offer you some insight.

Thanks Tourguide. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only person who has never heard of this or the only one confused about it. Reading the thread was very interesting. I also read the discussion "Dominant vs Master." I get the feeling that in the BDSM "community" people tend to define themselves and what they do according to their own tastes, which is actually, I think a good way to live life in general; as long as one doesn't interfere with anyone else's right to life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
