5 BDSM ideas to try

First of all, what is BDSM, exactly? BDSM is an umbrella term that includes bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism. These are a set of sexual practices between consenting adults, many of which involve one partner acting in a more dominant way while the other submits. Sadism and masochism are a subset that mixes pleasure with pain. Good BDSM emphasizes safety and consent at all times. Intrigued? Our girls have come up with 5 ideas to introduce you to BDSM.

1. Erotic massage: a perfect intro to BDSM

A great way to start experimenting with BDSM is to book an erotic massage at a reputable salon. Although salons have rules that must be followed and offer less freedom than you might have with a partner, you can always select a masseuse who shares your interests and can provide you with a more personalized experience. For example, if you think you may be submissive, you can book a session with a dominant masseuse. Conversely, if you feel more dominant, you can choose a submissive masseuse. Erotic massage is an ideal way to take your first step into the world of BDSM.

2. Bondage: a great way to get kinky with your partner

Bondage is a great starting place for couples who want to break out of their routine and try BDSM. Bondage involves one partner tying up the other using handcuffs, a tie, rope or any other object that prevents them from moving. The goal is to tease and caress the tied-up person and drive them wild. Bondage lets the“dom” savour being in control while the “sub” enjoys being at their mercy.  This practice is a key part of Shibari.

3. Discipline: a more advanced BDSM practice

Once bondage seems almost routine, it may be time for you and your partner to try out something new, like discipline. Discipline and punishment are concepts that are very prevalent in BDSM culture. The idea of one partner “punishing” the other for doing something “wrong” can be very exciting for both parties. The punishments are, of course, erotic in nature and are determined by the dominant partner. They can range from submitting to a particular sexual position to spanking, to letting your partner introduce a new sex toy, etc. When trying out BDSM with your partner, or when visiting a BDSM massage parlour in Montreal, it’s strongly recommended that you establish a safeword that must be respected. This ensures that all participants are consenting throughout the sexual encounter.

4. Spanking: a timeless BDSM practice

The act of spanking can be an exciting way to arouse your senses, as it stimulates both pain and pleasure. When you spank your partner, their brain secretes dopamine (a pleasure hormone) that spreads throughout their body. Although spanking is often described as being done to women, more and more men are trying this BDSM practice and finding it pleasurable. This practice is likely so popular because it challenges societal norms around sex. It’s an unusual sex practice that many people find pleasurable.

5. Temperature play: a unique experience

Hot and cold sensations draw the body’s attention to particular areas and can provide intense pleasure. If you want to give a modern BDSM practice a go, consider introducing temperature games to the bedroom. Here are a few products that you could incorporate:
  • Hot wax
  • Ice cubes
  • Stimulating gels

How to practice BDSM

If you want to try BDSM with your partner, here are some tips on how to have fun while keeping each other safe!

1. Discuss beforehand

For BDSM play to be healthy and effective, you and your partner need to agree on what works for you. Talk openly and honestly with your partner about the type of BDSM play you want to explore, so that you both feel safe and confident to try new things.

2. Establish a safe word

BDSM is a sexual practice that relies on trust and mutual consent between one or more partners. However, it can be difficult to know when things are getting too intense during a particular session. That’s why, when experimenting with BDSM, you should establish at least one safe word with your partner – something either of you can say to signal that you need a break. It’s good to have two different safety words, one that signals to stop and one that signals that you are approaching a limit and need to move the session in another direction.

3. Know your sex toys

There are a lot of sex toys to choose from that can enhance your BDSM experience. To have the best time, make sure you know beforehand how your sex toys work and what sensations they provide. Examples of BDSM sex toys include vibrators, riding crops, handcuffs, and whips. Depending on you and your partner’s desires, you can always alternative which toys you use.

4. Take your time

When you try BDSM for the first time, don’t buy a complicated rope system or a fancy whip. Instead, ease yourself in with a light BDSM activity, such as a spanking session, to see if you like it. If you want to buy equipment, a sexy headband and some wrist ties are a simple, inexpensive way to get acquainted with BDSM before moving on to more sophisticated toys and accessories.

5. Talk to your partner

Sexual activities can be intense for everyone involved. This is especially true for BDSM. After every sexual encounter, it’s important for partners to talk to each other and cuddle. This provides a moment of relaxation and ensures everyone feels good both emotionally and physically.
