Types of BDSM Dynamics (aka Relationship Flavors for the Kinky Soul)
So you’ve got a kink or ten and you’re thinking, “Maybe I want something a little more structured... or a lot more structured?” Welcome to the world of BDSM dynamics, where power exchange meets personal flair. Here’s a breakdown of some of the more common (and not-so-common) types:
1. D/s (Dominant/submissive) 🥀
Classic. Timeless. One partner takes the lead (Dominant), the other follows (submissive). Can be sexual, emotional, service-based, or all of the above.
More intense than D/s. This is high protocol, total power exchange. The slave gives up control willingly, and the Master/Mistress takes responsibility for them. Requires huge amounts of trust and communication.
3. CG/l (Caregiver/little) 🧸
Think nurturing + power exchange. One partner takes on a caregiver or parental role, the other enters a more childlike or youthful headspace (NOT ageplay unless explicitly agreed on). Comfort, rules, stuffies, structure.
Animal roleplay meets devotion. Pets can be kittens, puppies, ponies, etc. Owners train, play with, and care for their pets. Leashes may or may not be involved. (They usually are.)
5. Daddy Dom/little girl (DD/lg) / Mommy Domme/little boy (MD/lb) 🍼
A popular CG/l subset. Mixes discipline, caretaking, and sometimes a bit of brattiness. Emotional connection often emphasized. Also: daddies and mommies can be any gender.
6. Brat/tamer or Brat/Top 😈
The sub misbehaves on purpose to get attention, affection, or punishment. The Dom either plays along (Tamer) or shuts that down real fast. Bonus: chaos.
Can’t pick a lane? Don’t! Switches enjoy both Dominant and submissive roles and might flip depending on mood, partner, or scene. Versatility is sexy.
8. Handler/little monster 👹
Edgy CG/l meets chaotic cryptid energy. Think: “You're feral, and I love you, now go drink some water.” Can be nurturing, can be unhinged, often both.
Goal-oriented kink! One partner takes the role of a coach, instructor, or trainer. The other learns, performs, and improves—physically, mentally, sexually. Spankings for missed homework? Maybe.
Raw, instinct-driven, and less about titles. The hunter chases, the prey runs—until they don’t. Can be deeply sensual or ferociously rough. Growls encouraged.
11. Boss/secretary (or other roleplay-based dynamics) 👔
Themed dynamics based on scenarios: teacher/student, doctor/patient, knight/princess, etc. Can be ongoing or just in the bedroom. Bonus points for costumes.
---------------------------------
Not every dynamic is 24/7. Not every sub wants to serve tea in a collar. Some Dominants are soft and cuddly. Your dynamic is valid if all parties are adults and it’s safe, sane, consensual (or RACK: Risk Aware Consensual Kink), and works for you.
