Power exchange refers to a consensual relationship dynamic within BDSM and kink in which one participant voluntarily grants authority or control to another participant.
This exchange of authority may be temporary, such as during a scene, or ongoing within lifestyle relationships. Power exchange dynamics are based on explicit consent, communication, and negotiated boundaries.

Examples include:
