I received a Formspring question asking me about a specific acronym used within TTWD (that is the acronym). I tend to use this is my writing, and well...I shouldn't assume that everyone who reads my blog knows what some or all of the acronyms and/or abbreviations represent. (BAD DV!!!) So, I thought I would make a post with some of the more common acronyms and abbreviations related to this lifestyle. By no means will I know or be able to remember all of them. I hope all my readers and followers will join in and comment with some I have left out.
Here we go:
BDSM - This one you can break down into three separate abbreviations: BD - DS - SM. they stand for Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism.
D/s - Dominance/submission or Dominant/Submissive
M/s - Master/slave
TTWD - This Thing We Do - Just a way to refer to the lifestyle.
DD - Domestic Discipline
TPE - Total Power Exchange
24/7 - A relationship in with the involved dynamic is in place continuously, or...24/7.
Top - typically the one "doing"
Bottom - typically the one "receiving".
CBT - Cock and Ball Torture
Edgeplay - scene activities in which almost always involves a chance of bodily or emotional harm...pushing things to the edge. Examples are fire play, gun play, knife play, breath play, and blood play.
Hard Limit - Something a person absolutely will not do.
Soft Limit - A limit someone has but may be willing to look into it and/or try it. Something that makes someone very nervous or hesitant.
Sadist - Smeone who enjoy and/or becomes aroused from inflicting pain.
Masochist - Some who enjoys and /or becomes aroused from receiving pain.
Munch - a group of people from the lifestyle meeting in a vanilla place and atmosphere and wearing typically normal clothing. A casual meet and greet, so to speak.
OTK - Over The Knee (in reference to spanking)
Safeword - a codeword used by a bottom to indicate a need to immediate cease whatever activity is currently happening.
Vanilla - Someone or something that is not a pert of or involved in BDSM.
These are some of the most common abbreviations, definition, and acronyms. I will add more as I think of them. Any of you can feel free to add more in the comments section, as I'm sure there are probably some important ones I have left off.
