Translations:What Is BDSM/8/en
Power exchange is often described as the central framework through which BDSM dynamics are understood. In these relational structures, individuals negotiate roles that symbolize authority, vulnerability, leadership, or responsiveness. These roles can take many forms and may change depending on the individuals involved. The dynamic is explored more deeply in Dominant and Submissive Roles, where the emotional and relational aspects of these identities are discussed.
