The phrase “BDSM” is an acronym for “Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism,” commonly used in the context of sexual practices to describe a broad range of erotic roles, behaviors, and activities, often involving consensual power exchange. In online forums and adult entertainment websites, “BDSM” is often used to promote specific BDSM performers, to describe specific BDSM scenes or content, or to cater to the preferences of those who enjoy experiencing or watching BDSM activities. Overall, the usage of “BDSM” as a sexually-related topic may be considered taboo depending on the context and intended audience, especially outside the context of adult entertainment or BDSM-oriented events and communities.
