ABSTRACT
Many people are interested in BDSM practices. Some people practice and others fantasize about participating in these practices. Several elements are related to BDSM practices that are usually unaccepted in a close relationship, such as a strong dependence of one partner on the other or inflicting pain. BDSM practitioners create various relationships, and in a broader context, their communities. From a clinical perspective, an important issue is whether BDSM relation is consensual and serves the personal and relationship development or it can be a premise for the diagnosis of a paraphilic disorder, or recognizing abuse or mechanism of trauma repetition Adequate understanding of the behaviors that may be described by a patient practicing BDSM requires, however, getting to know the specifics of such relationships. The mental and sexual health professional would be able then to evaluate them adequately, without referring to a subjective norm or bias on stereotype or prejudice.
