This part of Wastelandblog.com is for anyone getting ready to take their first bite of the forbidden fruit. The world of bdsm can at times seem a bit scary, or silly, at first and while it can be both it isn’t always either. Sometimes it’s the way to intense and amazing experiences and relationships. If you’ve heard some bdsm expression that puzzles you, or you just want to browse a little, a good place to start is with our own ‘glossary of bdsm words’ and our ‘illustrated guide to bdsm’. These are helpful for quickly finding out what a word or expression means (in the glossary), or delving a little deeper for more details. We’ve also added some Wasteland.com original photos to each section just to make it a bit more visually pleasing to the eye.

Today’s Letter is “T”
Top – a ‘top’ gives the pain or sensation which a ‘bottom’ wishes to receive, so for example in a spanking the ‘top’ will administer the spanking and the ‘bottom’ will be spanked. The word can also be used as a verb (as in ‘topping’ someone, meaning to give them pain or sensation). The words ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ are often used interchangeably with ‘dominant’ and ‘submissive’ but they are not synonymous. In relations between a dominant and a submissive there is always an exchange of power, where the submissive agrees to submit to the will of the dominant. That same surrender isn’t required or implied in a session between a ‘top’ and a ‘bottom’. Others sometimes equate the words to sadist (top) and masochist (bottom).
Topping from the Bottom – is a phrase used to describe a ‘bottom’ or a ‘submissive’ who tries to control the BDSM play session while seeming to submit.
Torture – in bdsm the word is usually used to describe the more severe forms of erotic punishment although what constitutes ‘severe’ will vary considerably between individuals.
Training ( conditioning, slave-training ) – is a process whereby the dominant will seek to modify the submissives behaviour, responses or attitudes by systematic training.
Transvestite ( cross-dresser, TV, tranny ) – is someone who likes to dress in the clothes of the opposite sex. Male transvestites differ from transsexuals in that they desire to dress and occasionally act as women, but do not consider themselves as women or even want to be. “Crossdresser” is generally the preferred term of those who participate in this behavior.
Transsexual – is a person born with the physical characteristics of one sex, who emotionally and psychologically feels they belong to the other sex. Some are able to live their lives in the condition they were born, but others feel so uncomfortable that they seek to change their sex through medical intervention.
