Scene (BDSM)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2009) |
In BDSM, a scene is a complete encounter, which can but need not involve sexual activity or sexual roleplay. A scene will vary, depending on the wishes of the participants and can include kink and lifestyle elements. Bondage features prominently in BDSM scenes and sexual roleplay, and a characteristic of BDSM relationships is the power exchange from the bottom to the dominant partner.
The term is also used in the BDSM community to refer to the BDSM community as a whole.

A scene can take place in private between two or more people, and can involve a domestic arrangement, such as servitude or a casual or committed lifestyle master/slave relationship. BDSM elements may involve settings of slave training or punishment for breaches of instructions.
A scene can also take place in a club, where the play can be viewed by others. When a scene takes place in a public setting, it may be because the participants enjoy being watched by others, or because of the equipment available, or because having third parties present adds safety for play partners who have only recently met.
A scene can also take place in a public place.
BDSM etiquette
A scene takes place within the general conventions and etiquette of BDSM, such as requirements for mutual consent and agreement as to the limits of any BDSM activity. This agreement can be incorporated into a formal contract. In addition, most clubs have additional rules which regulate how onlookers may interact with the actual participants in a scene.
