BDSM practitioner

A BDSM practitioner is a consenting adult who engages in activities that fall under the umbrella term of Bondage, Domination, Sadism, and Masochism (BDSM) in consensual, non-harmful ways. This may involve assuming various roles such as dominant (Dom) or submissive (sub), switch between these roles, or even play without any specific role. BDSM practitioners prioritize communication, negotiation, boundaries, and consent throughout all aspects of their BDSM play. The term 'practitioner' implies a level of experience and commitment to ethical BDSM principles.
