Information about rules in BDSM

Information about various rules within BDSM.

There are no generally accepted rules for how a dominant or submissive should act, talk or dress. Such rules may be undefined, defined in the relationship between the dominant and the submissive, by the dominant alone, or by local rules in the environment where they are, e.g. a club. If such rules exist, they may be temporary, while a BDSM act or a club event lasts, or permanent, as long as a BDSM relationship or membership in a club lasts. Also, while some rules may be temporary, others may be permanent. Some rules may also change over time.
