西方文化中的BDSM通常指一些彼此相关的人类性行为模式。其主要的次群体正是BDSM这个缩写字母本身所指称的:绑缚与调教(bondage&discipline ,即B/D),支配与臣服(dominance & submission ,即D/S),施虐与受虐(sadism & masochism,即S/M)。
The BDSM culture refers to a series of human sexual behavior patterns that are interrelated. The main subgroups are precisely those referred to by the letters of BDSM itself: bondage & discipline (i.e., B/D), dominance & submission (i.e., D/S), and sadism & masochism (i.e., S/M).
BDSM核心原则
BDSM 是 What
,也被称为字母圈,是一种基于同意和信任的亚文化或人际关系实践,核心是探索权力、角色和感官的游戏。无论是通过绑缚(B)、支配与臣服(D/S)、施虐与受虐(S/M),还是其他行为模式,BDSM的共同特点是强调安全、理智、知情同意(SSC," safe, sane, and consensual"),而非任何形式的暴力或控制。所有BDSM活动都必须在双方平等交流、信任构建和边界设置的基础上进行,确保参与者始终掌握拒绝或暂停的权利,如使用安全词来自定义各项行为的边界。At its core, BDSM is a subculture or interpersonal practice based on consent and trust, focusing on exploring power, roles, and senses through games. Whether through bondage (B), dominance and submission (D/S), sadism and masochism (S/M), or other behavioral patterns, the common characteristic of BDSM is emphasizing safety, rationality, and informed consent (SSC), rather than any form of violence or control. All BDSM activities must be conducted on the basis of equal communication, trust building, and boundary setting to ensure participants always have the right to refuse or pause with the use of a safeword to customize the boundaries of various behaviors.
SSC原则

SSC原则是"安全、理智、知情同意"的简称,是BDSM实践中的黄金准则,它要求:
">(1) 安全:确保所有活动不会导致身体或心理伤害,使用适当的安全措施,如安全词等。
">(2) 理智:所有参与方都能清晰思考,理解自己的感受和界限。
">(3) 知情同意:所有活动必须事先明确沟通并获得所有参与方的明确同意,且任何时候,参与方都可以随时撤回同意。
">(4)有"风险意识(Risk-awareness)"和真实的态度(Savvy):能理解BDSM的潜在风险并做出理性决策。
