2.D/s stands for Dominance and Submission — a broad category of BDSM practice centered on consensual power exchange between a dominant and a submissive partner. D/s can describe a scene dynamic (power exchange only during play), a relationship structure (ongoing power exchange in a relationship), or a 24/7 lifestyle. D/s relationships vary enormously in structure, protocol, and intensity. At their core, all D/s dynamics involve explicit negotiation and consent.
