contract

In BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism) practice, a contract is a written agreement that establishes clear boundaries, rules, expectations, and limits between a Dominant and a Submissive in their power dynamic relationship. It serves as an important foundation for consent, communication, safety, and respect throughout the dynamic. The content of a BDSM contract may vary widely based on the preferences and needs of the individuals involved, but it typically covers topics such as safe words or signals, types of play, punishment and reward systems, boundaries and limits, aftercare practices, privacy concerns, and the duration of the agreement. Contracts can be revised and renegotiated at any time by mutual consent to reflect changes in the relationship or individual needs.
