The history of the appearance of BDSM..
For the first time, the term BDSM (BDSM) appeared in the early 1990s, as an abbreviated abbreviation of such erotic aesthetic practices as "captivity and discipline" (BD -Bondage & Discipline), "dominance and submission" (DS – Domination & Submission) and "Sadism and masochism" (SM – Sadism & Masochism). BDSM subculture includes a wide range of role -playing games and others "actions", forms of interpersonal relationships and all kinds of attributes – devices, clothes and so on. BDSM fans call everything related to the subculture – "Subject", And they believe that normal relations between people are impossible without elements of the BDSM practitioner, giving each of the participants fundamentally new – "Special" And unique sensations. Indeed, in the process of very many BDSM practitioners, participants cause pain that some people cause sexual pleasure. In the process of BDSM -IGR, especially in the Odo Maso, endorphins are produced in the human body – hormones that play an important role in the control of the perception of pain. The mechanism of action of endorphins is similar to the mechanism of action of drugs -opioids – they block opiate receptors of neurons of the nervous system, which causes a feeling of enthusiasm, happiness and pleasure.
The BDSM subculture has a huge number of supporters and followers – and all over the world. The first BDSM communities appeared in Western Europe and the United States back in the middle of the 20th century. Then these were fairly small groups of people who were fond of role -playing games in dominance and submission, flagellation or bondage. In the late 1980s, thanks to the emergence of modern forms of communication, primarily the Internet, these communities began to interact with each other, forming a full-fledged BDSM culture covering people in different cities and countries. Now in the world there are several thousand different BDSM communities that unite tens of thousands of people. In the world, the BDSM subculture has become widespread after the collapse of the Soviet Union – early 90s. Our compatriots rely mainly on the already formed values and rules of the BDSM, who came to us from the West. Now, in our country, another generation of fans of Role Games BDSM has already grown up, having a new look this subculture. The number of BDSM lovers is growing from year to year, including at the expense of our compatriots.
Those practices that are used in modern BDSM take their beginning in ancient times. Bondage, flagellation (flogging), dominance – all these things have already been known to people for millennia – but in those days an erotic subtext inherent in the BDSM games now was not invested in them. As a special form of sexual behavior, BDSM began to be considered only from the end of the 18th century, when the process of medical and legal categorization of erotic relations between people began in European countries. The flogging scene, and with a clear sexy shade, is present in the novel of the English writer John Cleled "Fanny Hill", published in 1749. A little later, the works of the famous Marquis de Sad were published, on behalf of which such a thing was formed as "sadism". His novels seriously touched on the theme of BDSM of relations, with an emphasis on a sadistic orientation. In the 19th century, the novel by Leopold von Zaher-Mazokh was published "Venus in furs", in which the main character wants his lover to treat him like a slave. The term occurred on behalf of Zacher-Mazokh "masochism", which in our time, along with "sadism" form "sadomasochism", one of the favorite methods in the BDSM.
Although the BDSM subculture consists of three main directions (BD, DS and SM), which are usually combined in different proportions – it includes such a phenomenon as "Sexy fetishism". This is a kind of sexual behavior, in which inanimate objects are the source and incentive for sexual attraction – clothes, shoes, things made of certain material and much more. Therefore, in the West it is customary to add a letter to the traditional abbreviation of the BDSM "f", denoting "fetish". All together makes BDSM a rather diverse subculture, accommodating a whole spectrum of erotic and aesthetic currents. But the modern subculture is built on the main, basic principle – SSC (from the English words Safe, Sane, Consensual), which means translated "safety", "voluntariness" And rationality". The BDSM community consists of many individual directions determined by the preferences of specific participants, for example, discipline and spanking, binding and fixation, power and submission, perpetual hierarchical "belonging" and others. These areas can both combine and exist separately. It is customary to divide participants in the Role Games BDSM into subordinating (TOP, upper) and subordinate (Bottom, lower), as well as those who combine the desire to subordinate and obey (Switch – switch). IN "Topic" There are both men and women – and hetero- and homosexual – people of all races and ages – for the community of lovers of BDSM do not exist national, sexual, age -related restrictions.
In the BDSM, as well as in any similar subculture, a peculiar attributes began to take shape over the years, "corporate party" style. Fans of BDSM are characterized by firing body leather or latex clothes, an abundance of belts, chains, steel rivets, collars, handcuffs, masks – a stylish and intriguing combination of black and silver colors, genuine leather and metal. According to one version, a considerable contribution to the formation of just such "external image" BDSM, American bikers brought in the 1950s. Fetish attributes are used by BDSM fans during role-playing, and some wear it in everyday life. In addition to clothes, "themes" BDSM use a variety of shock devices – produced by themselves or purchased in sex shop. Since the flagellation and spanking are one of the most common BDSM methods, shock devices are lashes, whips, glass – are an integral way of a BDSM fan. Almost all BDSM sessions can not do without devices for the bondage – fixators, belts, all kinds of fasteners – many people far from "Themes", BDSM community is just associated with fixed chains "lower", And "Upper", which quilted it with a whip. This image of the BDSM has already firmly entered the masses, thanks to its cultivation in the cinema and the media.
True, throughout the entire time of the existence of the BDSM community, it was subjected to numerous attacks from the public – especially those people who were familiar with BDSM only in vile. The subculture of the BDSM since its appearance managed "Form" prejudices, cliches and stereotypes. Since the late 1980s, BDSM community around the world began to exchange information, supporting each other in the fight against discrimination. It is attacks and misunderstanding from the so -called "general public" led to some "insulation" BDSM communities, to their "Inability" and unwillingness to let in "Topic" outsiders people. The situation is complicated by the fact that in some countries some elements of the BDSM are considered criminally-propelled, including in such "developed" countries like Great Britain and Switzerland. It is understandable – some "thematic" The variety affects inexperienced minds – games with blood;games using sharp objects, for example, knives;dripping on the skin with molten wax and much more. But people who are seriously "We got involved" to the subculture of the BDSM, they do not pay any attention to such things. Each person who comes to the BDSM culture receives a set of those psycho-sexual emotions and incredible sensual experiences that no longer receive-this is the key to the fact that the subculture of the BDSM will always be in demand.
