About

Abuse can be defined as any relationship where one person attempts to control another through fear, subjugation, and humiliation, and/or verbal and/or physical assaults. Abuse transcends background, education, gender, sexual orientation, sexual preferences, polyamorous, and monogamous relationships. Simply put abuse can be found everywhere. There are no indications or studies that demonstrate that there is a higher incident of abusive relationships within the BDSM community in comparison to vanilla relationships. In fact, there is a growing trend where mental health practitioners look to the BDSM community as an example of how to communicate effectively.
Many aspects of BDSM could be mistaken for abuse. What we as BDSM practitioners find erotic, to the vanilla world may give the appearance of abuse. The purpose of this website is to expound upon and enlighten those who do not understand the differences between abuse and a healthy BDSM relationship. This website will seek to answer the following questions:
• So what makes up a healthy BDSM relationship?
• How is BDSM NOT abuse?
• What are the warning signs of abuse?
• What resources are available if you are being abused?
• What to do if you are raped?
• How do you negotiate to keep yourself safe?
• How do you engage in humiliation play and avoid emotional abuse?
• How do you recognize a cult?
In addition there are personal stories and articles that help expand upon relationships within the BDSM lifestyle. It is the author’s intent that this information be used to the benefit of the BDSM community and to help empower the individual who engages in BDSM play.

  1. Great blog, @sweetgeekgoddess, with some superb articles. I found it via your response to Kitty Stryker’s post on Fetlife at http://fetlife.com/users/122125/posts/672952, and have added you to my own link list.

    Keep up the good work. If all of us who are passionate about this issue pull together, and interlink, hopefully we can make a difference.
