Bondage & Discipline (B&D) Dominance & Submission (D&S) Sadism and masochism (or sadomasochism) (S&M) Non-erotic BDSM In contrast to role-playing relationships are BDSM relationships in everyday life that exist outside of sexual life.Partners in their daily lives maintain an appropriate balance of power and therefore make BDSM a permanent part of their lifestyle. In this case, BDSM cannot just be described as a simple sexual phenomenon. The term "24/7 relationship" comes from 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Another term is "D/s" from "Dominant/submissive". The dominant partner controls most of the submissive partner's life. Certain areas such as work, family and friends may be excluded from such a relationship and beyond the control of the dominant partner. But some D/s relationships cover all aspects of life and such relationships are called "total power exchange" in which no changes occur.
