What’s in a Label, and Why They Are Important in the Fetish/BDSM Community
I am a bottom, submissive, gimp, enslaved person…so many labels; how do I figure out who I am?
As humans, we wear many different masks. You could be Alpha during the day but love to cross-dress during the evening, or you may even love wearing women’s panties during the day.
So, how do you figure out where you are on the Fetish spectrum? And why is it so important to know? Asking yourself some reflective questions should help you figure out.
Do I enjoy serving but do not enjoy pain? What if you love to top occasionally? Do all your desires center around sexual feelings?
Figuring out who you are makes it easier to understand what your kinks are. It helps the person topping you know where your headspace is at. Below is a link to a BDSM test; it’s a great place to start.
It is also just as important to understand the terminology so you can express yourself clearly and in detail about what you like, your hard limits, and what areas you would like to explore.
Below is a link to a good BDSM glossary.
