Q & A: What’s the difference between BDSM and the Lifestyle?
This question is very common among people who don’t understand a lot of what BDSM is. BDSM is a huge acronym for Bondage/Discipline/Domination/Submission/Sadism/Masochism. Now that doesnt mean that when you are into BDSM that you are into all of them. The beauty of it is that you can pick and choose what you like and don’t like. In this question, I’m assuming that BDSM means the activities participated in and the Lifestyle as the relationships and outside the bedroom things.
That’s exactly the difference I’m going to talk about. BDSM is the activities that people do. It can be while playing, during sex, in a club or with select people. It is the bondage, SM and roleplay that many people partake in. The Lifestyle is when you take the D/s out of the bedroom as well and involve your daily life with it. It can be ritual and rules, structure and organized order of things.
I am in the Lifestyle because I endeavor to be submissive in all parts of my private life. I also am into BDSM. I love playing with my Master and I shared some of what we like to do in a previous post.

Hi luna, glad to see you are explaining the difference for your readers some of whom I am guessing are vanilla.
Sorry I disappeared for so long, wanted to stay here with you to support you but ended up spending a lot of time with my D/s sister and now I need to go lay down for awhile as I am not feeling to well at the moment.
If I don’t fall asleep, I will pop back on later on to read some more of what you have written and let you know that I am still here to try to help you get through the night.
