BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related interpersonal dynamics. This (typically considered) 'taboo' lifestyle is often terribly misunderstood.
Bondage and discipline include activities like tying people up and restraining them, along with setting rules and meting out punishments. Then or dominance and submission. Dominance and submission are more about power dynamics. Basically, one person will give the other power over them, whether it's physical, emotional, or both. Bringing up the rear, SM is a nod to sadism or liking to inflict pain, and masochism, like to receive it.
Whether you're a Fifty Shades of Grey fan or not, you can probably appreciate that the book has brought awareness to individuals who enjoy the kink life. But with that awareness comes much stigma and false assumptions about this 'taboo' community.
