It is the dominant’s responsibility to remain within the bounds of agreement. Tantra and BDSM blend beautifully, because really, it is a sharing of one’s energy—a container of alchemical creation. The penetrative energy (masculine, yang) steps into a role of presence and space holding, while the receiving energy (feminine, yin) chooses to let go and surrender. Tantra allows a deeper connection in BDSM play, and vice versa. I’ve had some of the most incredible ecstatic experiences blending the two. And also, many disempowered experiences.
