What is BDSM?
The magic is where the pain is.

However, fantasy is not to be confused with reality.
In reality, each of us wants to dominate.

We all know the routine:
pre-negotiations,
pre-determined scripts and roles,
superficial conversations,
controlled desires,
toys,
different faces for different objectives,
eyes on the exit,
safe words:
a word for “yellow” which means, “I am approaching my limit”,
and a word for “red” which means hard stop.
“Cut!”
As the curtain falls on the scene, reality reappears.
The agents undergo their usual metamorphosis.
The servants start serving again with the wish for power and the fear of having it.
