What does bdsm means to anybody? guess this should be an interesting question. I have grasp hold of this term for many years, & surely i know what it means to me.

to others perhaps, it is the mean of receiving discipline & perhaps the enjoyment of pain. to some, it is the excitement of dominating others, to instil instructions, doing something that can be so different to his/ her real life.
there are some, it is means to get a relieve with their own fetishes. Lastly there could be others to just simply want to get out of their routin boredom & into something they wish to explore in.

But seriously, is there a line of boundary for bdsm activities? Is this fast becoming an "excuse" for more & more people to indulge in some other forms of fetish or interest that does not seems to be relate to this term? 

Is bdsm a game or is it for real?
This thought bound on me for ages, though i believes in the latter. If bdsm is merely a game, then why are we doing it if we knew it is not gonna be real? If it is real, why are so many people treating it like a game?

someone pls tell me.
