Like many, you've probably heard of the term 'BDSM', but did you know that it's actually a collective term? At SecretBody, we want to take you into the world of BDSM and its various facets this month. In this blog, we focus on 'BD', or Bondage & Discipline. Bondage is perhaps the best-known aspect, which revolves around taking away your partner's freedom of movement. Discipline is less well-known, but it revolves around giving or carrying out orders and linking a (playful) punishment to not following through.
Together on a bondage adventure
We live in an era where everything you need to know about bondage & discipline is at your fingertips. The internet offers a wealth of information, and people have become more open about their preferences. Where you used to have to improvise with household items, you can now easily order discreet products online. It can be fun to have a little secret with your partner that you only share in the bedroom.
In BDSM, trust is essential. Discuss your desires and expectations openly before embarking on this adventure together. When you are ready to take the next step, there are many exciting props you can use during your journey of discovery.
Let's begin!
So, you’ve decided to experiment with bondage and are looking for the perfect set to get you started. It can be overwhelming to choose, but don’t worry – we’re here to help you with tips that will suit your needs.
An important unwritten rule in BDSM: always agree on a safe word. This safe word ensures that the activity stops immediately if one of you does not feel comfortable. Find out together what you like, and enjoy the adventure.

Hit me, baby!
Discipline should certainly not be forgotten in this context. Do you want to punish your partner? A mouth gag can literally shut your partner up, while a whip or paddle provides variation in punishment techniques. Those who do not listen must feel, but always within the limits of your agreements and mutual respect.
