BDSM is a word formed from the initial letters of the terms bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism.
BDSM encompasses many activities, including forms of dominance, submission, discipline, punishment, bondage, sexual role-playing, sexual fetishism, sadomasochism, and power exchange, as well as the full spectrum of mainstream personal and sexual interactions.
Activities and relationships within a BDSM context are characterized by the fact that the participants usually take on complementary, but unequal, roles. Typically, participants who are active — applying the activity or exercising control over others — are known as Dominants. Those participants who are recipients of the activities, or who are controlled by their partners, are typically known as sub-missives.

Bondage refers to the use of restraints for the sexual pleasure of the parties and features prominently in BDSM scenarios and sexual role-play.

A large variety of bondage equipment is used in BDSM:
-rope and straps may be used to hold legs/arms together;
-the body or legs/arms may be tied to an object, such as to chairs or stocks;
-the body may be suspended from another object – this is called suspension bondage;
-it may used to restrict normal movement, such as use of hobble skirts, handcuffs.
