What Is a BDSM Dungeon?

When you hear BDSM Dungeon, what is it that comes to mind? For many people it is something they have seen in the movies. A dark underground cavern, made of stone and metal with bars and doors like prison cells. There is a dank odor of mold permeating throughout. It’s a scary, dangerous place where some ogre keeps and torments you.

Or maybe your imagination instantly goes to the sexy side.  Still picturing a dark stone and metal area, you see Mistresses and Masters dressed in leather with whips.  Also, slaves chained to walls or strapped down on various sexual devices. In either case, the word is very powerful and conjures up immediate images in your mind. But what is a Dungeon, really?

First a basic definition of the word when referring to BDSM play. Because, after all, that is what we’re here to talk about, isn’t it?  Not knights and dragons. An erotic dungeon is any place a Dominant and submissive set aside for their BDSM play.

There are private and public dungeons and each has it’s advantages and disadvantages, like everything else. They do have the same general purpose in common, and use many of the same toys and erotic furniture. Both are places where a submissive and, in our case, a Mistress can meet to play out various erotic fantasies.

Follow Me To My Basement For Private BDSM Dungeon Play

Private BDSM dungeons are just that, private. You find them most often in the  homes of dominant partners. They can be a spare room or a finished or unfinished basement. Even just an area of a room, like a bedroom, where play always occurs. It contains erotic furniture, stocks, straps, a St. Andrew’s Cross with cuffs to hold the submissive in place. All easily attached to walls or set up in basements.

These places exist as somewhere to go where, without speaking, the roles are already set. If you are in a D/s relationship and your Mistress asks you to meet her in the Dungeon, you know, without explanation, how to dress and the attitude to assume upon entering.

Normally much smaller and more personal than Public Dungeons, private ones are maintained by and reflect the inclinations and personality of the Mistress controlling them. They may be dark and almost frightening with lots of leather and chains. Or they may be beautiful.

Pinks and purples in the leather straps instead of black, soft places to distract you from the hard paddles. It’s all up to the one who owns and therefore controls the dungeon. The allure of these, as opposed to public Dungeons, is the complete control. This often excites those wishing to be kept and controlled on a more lengthy basis. Or who make BDSM play a part of their daily lifestyle.

The Club You Join For Dungeon Games In Public

Public Dungeons are set up a bit differently, though they serve the same general purpose. As opposed to a private dungeon, where you are at home or at the home of your Mistress, a public dungeon is often a club with membership. You join the BDSM community in your area and find the public dungeon suited best to your needs.

Some cater to specific fetishes while others are more general. These public places can be very large with many rooms. Mistresses or Masters, all well versed in specific needs, spend time meeting with you. You will see other subs there and possibly even engage in public humiliation, as there are others readily available to be pulled in. Old warehouses and factories outside of towns are often used as public Dungeons. Their spaces are set up, sometimes in a very elaborate manner, to reflect nothing of the inside from the outside.

In a public dungeon, you can have as few as two or three and as many as twenty or so Doms. You may see one Dominatrix only or a variety, this is the choice of the submissive to a point. Most public dungeons also have a moderator to make sure everything stays safe.  Frequently, this is the allure of them to many people who do not know someone, personally, that they trust totally with their sexual needs and safety.

In many ways, because they are more regulated, a public dungeon is safer. If you do not have a D/s partnership with someone you know very well, they are the best route for a newbie. Your needs determine the sessions.  Each room reflects the style of domination done in the room, from racks and cages with whips and chains, to massage tables with built-in fucking machines.

This Choice At Least, Is Yours

Regardless of which type of dungeon play you prefer, you can find it in a public or private dungeon. The choice of which excites you more, or is more doable for you, is something you personally have to decide.

However, always remain safe and sane in any BDSM dungeon play.  And if your fantasies are just beginning or need a kick in the ass, speak with a Femdom Mistress for tips on ways to make it even more exciting.
