BDSM: know the whole story
The term BDSM, BD (bondage and domination) and SM (sadomasochism), came to light in April 1991. It emerged in an Internet news forum from the two abbreviations of BD and SM; which were created to distinguish sadomasochism from other practices.

In the Ancient Age, we found some BDSM practices in recordings of ancient texts, related to the rituals of the goddess Inanna. As in ancient writings such as Inanna and Ebih or in the Hymn to Inanna, where rituals of domination are mentioned.
In the case of Uruk, celebrations of a sexual and violent nature were produced. Also in the ninth century B.C. the ritual flagellations were made in Artemis Orthia. In this ritual, the men were whipped in a ceremony supervised by the priestess.
One of the oldest sadomasochistic activities remembered, takes us to the Etruscan tomb of the scourging in Tarquinia, dated from the 5th century BC.
In one of the walls where the tomb is located you can see two erotic scenes. In one of them two men appear who are having sex with a woman; and in the other scene a woman leaning on the hips of a man who is whipping her.
We also find more references to flogging in the 6th book of the Satires of ancient Rome by the poet Juvenal. It refers to the Satiricon of Petronius, where a criminal is whipped to get excited.
Throughout the Ancient Age, relations of domination-submission have always been present, especially through slavery. Without going any further, in Rome there were different types of slaves.
In Roman sexuality, the relationship of the master with his subordinates was usual, that is, with the wife, the pages or the slaves, through submission. Interestingly, female pleasure was ignored.
If we go back to the Kamasutra of India, it speaks of 4 different ways to strike during a sexual act, to give pleasure.
Already entering the Middle Ages and modern, such as during 1500-1700 AD, we find recordings of erotic sexual acts, even with flogging. One of these scenes is found in John Cleland’s novel Fanny Hill.
One of the highlights of this era is Donatien Alphonse François de Sade. With only ten years he observed the orgies that his uncle celebrated in the castle of Saumane. When he was older, he invited prostitutes to his “love nest” and subjected them to various sexual abuses.
In the twentieth century, experts trace the keys to BDSM. The military, in times of civil war, were asked questions to discover which were masochists or sadists but without being discovered. For example, questions like “Do you play mandolin or saxophone?” To identify your role. Around this time the Old Guard protocol also emerged.
In the 80s and 90s the BDSM culture became especially popular, especially through artists like Madonna, who used fetish images. It was also seen in the cinema and on television. Of course, the Internet also contributed a lot to give visibility.
