The BDSM community is quite infamous for getting the short end of the stick. After all how many instances have we seen where it is revealed that someone is in this community and everyone around them seems to be appalled by this? Of course, we understand that to many the idea of tying up and potentially causing harm to your partner can feel somewhat wrong. After all, sex is meant to feel good for both parties involved. So why would anyone enjoy sex that involves harming one another? A power exchange relationship can be loving and supportive. Additionally, the submissive partner is often the one in true control during a "session".
In general BDSM, and the BDSM community take consent and safety very seriously. Toys and 'weapons' have to be deemed safe for use in the bedroom. There are boundaries that must be discussed thoroughly before entering the realm of sex. Safe Words and phrases must also be used and carefully agreed upon and regarded in the community. In fact, there are many stories of people being annulled from the BDSM community for their refusal to regard safe words. Also remember that BDSM sex should always end with carefully planned aftercare, in which the dominating person during the act ensures that their partner feels safe and cared for as they recover.
