‘BDSM’ refers to a range of sexual activities that can be grouped into three categories: B and D or bondage and discipline, D and S, domination and submission and S and M, sadism and masochism.

It is easier to portray an exciting existence and elaborate lifestyle on social media platforms thanRead More…

Their mission in life is to simply make things worse for you; they are not trying to help you succeed. Instead, they aim to make life terrible. They come in all forms, and the lines between the different types of diagnoses are often blurred. I think it is vital in any relationship to ask ourselves, “how well does this serve me?” You’ll soon realise whether these connections are worth their weightRead More…
