Deep into that darkness peering,
long I stood there wondering, fearing,
doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
The Raven - Edgar Allen Poe


The beautiful and contradictory thing about BDSM is that it leads to the kindest and most loving form of sex and intimacy. A mutually desired, consensual BDSM relationship by its very nature forces a deeper level of communication. It enables a couple to connect with each other's darkest and most powerful desires within a safe and loving environment. The intense sexual intimacy this creates carries over to a healthy communication in other areas of the relationship.

While many vanilla relationships are passionate, some lack true intimacy and are filled with compromise, with neither party getting what they really want. Those who don't understand BDSM often believe it is non-consensual sex, when in fact it is the most consensual sex there is. There is a tremendous amount of discussion and negotiation set with safe words, for example. That level of safe exploration rarely happens in vanilla sex.

Ironically, most people enjoy some form of BDSM in their sexual play without realizing it, from having a lover hold your hands down or a slap on the butt. In fact, it is the term BDSM or S&M that often causes people to deny their passion for some level of kink. It's all loving and all fun. I say go for it and put whatever label on it that makes you think it's right for you...

We hope you will enjoy Sssh's BDSM Area; all we ask is that you remain open to new ideas and every once in a while let your fantasies take over!

Welcome to the World of Kink!
