Session
A session, also called a play, refers to the clearly defined period of time during which BDSM practices or other erotic power and play dynamics take place. Depending on the context, a session can be very short or longer and may vary in intensity. It is often clearly separated from everyday life and role shifts and is usually discussed in advance.
Consent, preparation, and aftercare are important. Especially in intense or riskier practices, boundaries, safety measures, and a safeword should be agreed on beforehand. A session should only take place when all participants feel physically and psychologically able to engage.
