Dominance and submission (D/s) is a relationship dynamic often found in the BDSM community, where one partner takes on a dominant role while the other assumes a submissive role. This dynamic can involve power exchange, where the dominant partner exerts control and the submissive partner willingly surrenders that control. The practices within D/s can vary widely, ranging from simple acts of obedience to more elaborate rituals. Communication and consent are crucial, as both partners must agree on boundaries and limits to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
