Sex Doctor in Frisco

That sounds exciting! Congratulations to you and your partner(s) for exploring this together. First, let’s review the basics.

BDSM is an umbrella term for activities involving bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and/or sadism and masochism. You can choose to explore one or all aspects of the BDSM triad—whatever feels right for you.

When determining with your partner(s) how to fit BDSM into your sex life, keep lines of communication open. Judgment-free conversation can lead to the best sex of your life. The work that goes into setting boundaries and creating scenarios that fulfill your wildest sexual desires leads to increased pleasure and connection of sexual partners.

So, start with a conversation. Ask your partner(s) what they’re interested in and directly communicate and set any boundaries you want to have during sex. Once you’ve set the ground rules, let your desire fuel your creativity and explore each side of the BDSM triangle. You’ll discover what works for you and what doesn’t. That’s all part of the process. Over time, you’ll find what works for you.

When done correctly, BDSM should not be a source of unwanted pelvic pain. Consent, open lines of communication, and ample lubricant should be cornerstones of every sexual encounter to segway unforeseen pain in the bedroom. We say unwanted, because, yes, sex using whips, hot wax, dildos, and gags may involve an agreed-upon amount of pain if all partners are consenting.

Persistent pelvic pain in the bedroom, BDSM or not, could be a sign of a chronic sexual health disorder. Our sex doctor in Frisco helps patients manage, prevent, and treat vaginal dryness, bruising from play, vaginismus, and other sexual concerns.

Open and honest communication is key when discussing your interest in kinks. We recommend treating this conversation as you would any other significant life discussion. Sharing your sexual kinks requires vulnerability, especially in a society that may stigmatize certain preferences.

Be courageous; life is too short to not explore your deepest desires. Explain to your partner why this kink matters to you and, crucially, seek their consent. Being straightforward and sincere is vital. While you can’t predict their reaction, being open about your desires is essential for both your fulfillment and the health of your relationship.

Ethical non-monogamy (ENM), also known as consensual non-monogamy, involves romantic engagements with multiple partners. Everyone involved in an ENM relationship is fully aware of and agrees to the relationship structure. Unlike infidelity, which involves deceit, ENM thrives on a foundation of trust and transparency. All parties consent and communicate openly, ensuring the relationship satisfies everyone involved.

In hierarchical polyamory, a primary partner is the person with whom you share the deepest level of commitment. This often includes living together, sharing finances, and possibly raising children.

For example, consider a hypothetical Gertrude and Sally-Mae, a married couple who have been together for over a decade. They meet Ben and decide to date him as well. While Gertrude and Sally-Mae enjoy Ben’s company and cooking, they prioritize each other and their responsibilities, such as paying bills and caring for their son, Jamal. In their relationship hierarchy, Gertrude and Sally-Mae are each other’s primary partners.

The distinction between swinging and polyamory, though straightforward, holds layers of complexity. Swinging typically involves individuals or couples engaging in sexual activities with other couples as a form of social interaction. This practice can occur with or without an established partner and generally focuses on sexual experiences rather than emotional connections.

Polyamory, on the other hand, is the practice of maintaining multiple romantic and caring relationships simultaneously. Each relationship may vary in emotional and physical intimacy, and the connections extend beyond mere sexual interaction to form what is often referred to as a “polycule”—a network of interconnected romantic and possibly platonic relationships.
