We talked about Bondage and Discipline first. Now, we are in the 2nd part of Hentai Facts about BDSM and this time, let’s look at its DS or Dominance and Submission part.
Dominance and Submission (sometimes refers to as D/s) is a set of customs and rituals involving the submission of one person to another in an erotic sort of way. Physical contact is not always necessary, and D/s can be conducted anonymously through the phone, e-mail, or other messaging systems. In other cases, it can be intensely physical, sometimes crossing into sadomasochism.
In D/s, both parties take pleasure or erotic enjoyment from either dominating or being dominated. Those who take the superior position are called dominants—Doms (male) or Dommes (female)—while those who take the subordinate position are called submissives—or subs (male or female). A switch is an individual who plays either role. Two switches together may negotiate and exchange roles several times in a session. A dominatrix is usually a female sex worker who dominates others for pay.
A safeword is usually given to the submissive partner to prevent the dominant from overstepping physical and emotional boundaries. The safeword is especially important when engaging in verbal humiliation or playing "mind-games", because the dominant may not be aware of an emotional boundary until it is crossed. If an emotional boundary is breached and the safeword spoken, the dominant should cease all play immediately and discuss the emotional breach with the submissive in a tender and understanding manner. Negotiating limits in advance is also an important element in a D/s relationship.
There are many ways to play D/s; some of it includes:
- domestic servitude or consensual slavery
- enforced chastity of the submissive
- erotic humiliation
- sexual slavery
- verbal humiliation
- fetishes—such as shoe or boot worship, uniforms, smoking, latex, and heavy rubber—are, among other activities, considered part of BDSM
- dehumanization (pony or animal roleplay)
- objectification (human furniture): ex. submissive's body used as footstool, or sub's mouth used as spitting bowl and cigarette ashtray
- cross-dressing
- whipping
- corporal punishment
- trampling
- human toilet - golden showers
- feminization
- cuckold
- bondage (sexual)
- public humiliation
