This website is intended for adults
Welcome to BDSM-Encyclopedia.
This platform is an extensive knowledge project about BDSM, relationships, sexuality, psychology, and physical and emotional safety within adult contexts. The information on this website is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. Because you have indicated that you are under the age of 18, you do not have access to the content of this website.
This is not because your curiosity is wrong. Being curious about relationships, intimacy, emotions, and your own body is a normal part of growing up. At the same time, the information on this website is written for adults, with adult experiences, responsibilities, and context. For minors, this content may be confusing, too intense, or inappropriate.
Why this boundary matters
BDSM involves much more than what you may see online. It is about adult communication, responsibility, mutual consent, physical and mental safety, and often complex emotional processes. This requires an adult frame of reference and life experience.
Precisely because we place safety, care, and respect at the center of everything we do, we consciously choose not to make this information accessible to minors.
What you can do instead
If you have questions about yourself, your feelings, relationships, or sexuality, it is important to talk about them with people who know you and can guide you appropriately. This could be a parent or caregiver, a trusted person at school, a general practitioner, or a qualified counselor. They can support you in a way that fits your age and situation.
There are also reliable, age-appropriate information sources specifically developed for young people and young adults. These are better suited to where you are right now.
About BDSM-Encyclopedia
BDSM-Encyclopedia was created as an independent knowledge platform for adults who want to explore BDSM in a respectful, nuanced, and safe way. Our aim is to contribute to awareness, self-knowledge, and the prevention of misunderstandings and risks within adult relationships.
Thank you for your understanding and for taking care of yourself.
If you are 18 years or older, you are very welcome to return.
Written with care,
BDSM-Encyclopedia
