BDSM Made Safe and Simple for Beginners
Okay, so you�ve never participated in BDSM but you�ve seen some pictures from the Internet, you�re curious about it and interested to know more about this alternative life style � especially between gay men. So, let�s start at the beginning�

*What does BDSM stand for?
Bondage � being tied up or getting tied up
Discipline � forcing or training to do certain things and getting punished in the case of failure
Sadism � like torturing other guys
Masochism � like being tortured by other guys

These are the four main generally recognized categories. Of course, there are other practices that can but do not necessarily also fall within one or more of these definitions, e.g. leather, biker, Daddy/Son for example, although the general practices can vary between the individuals concerned.

*What are some of the "special words" generally recognized in BDSM culture?

DOM (short form for Dominator or Dominant; Spanish for �Master� but a female DOM is called a Dominatrix) also referred to as a Master � the person who dominates a relationship, e.g. the person who ties up the other guy or punishes his Subs or Slaves. Many Masters may have more than one Slave at a time. *Note � a Top Man is not necessarily into BDSM as he is merely the person who gets serviced, e.g. the person who penetrates the other guy during sexual intercourse, or the person whose penis gets sucked during fellatio.

SUB
(short form for Subordinate, both sexes use the same term) also refered to as Slave � the person who obeys the Master or Dom�s orders, gets tied up and punished and/or tortured. More than one Sub or Slave may serve the same Dom or Master. *Note � a Bottom Man is not necessarily into BDSM either as he may just prefer to be penetrated or like sucking other guys� penises.

Safe Word
� this is a special code word agreed upon between two participants to indicate that the Sub has reached his limits and cannot take any more punishment or torture. The Dom MUST respect this code word, stop and let the Sub go IMMEDIATELY. A simple request like �Please don�t torture my cock any more� is NOT regarded as a Safe Word because many Subs like begging during play. Only when the Safe Word is spoken is it recognized that ALL play must stop for both participants. The most common one used in the West is �Pax� meaning �peace.�

* What are the meanings of these special BDSM words?

*Note the following are non-hygienic practices and beginners are advised to avoid them!

Golden Shower or Watersports
� pissing on someone or drinking someone�s piss

Scat
� shitting on someone or playing with a guy�s shit
