Abstract(s)
BDSM é um termo que abrange uma ampla gama de actividades relacionadas com bondage disciplina, dominação e submissão, sadismo e masoquismo. Pode ser definido como um jogo baseado no consentimento prévio entre as partes envolvidas, onde se materializam desejos privados, frequentemente entendidos como transgressores face às práticas sexuais ditas convencionais, como beijar, tocar, sexo oral ou a masturbação. O presente estudo explora os percursos e discursos de praticantes de BDSM, contextualizando a emergência, desenvolvimento e avaliação das suas práticas. Foram realizadas entrevistas online, semi-estruturadas, a 13 pessoas com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 63 anos que se apresentaram como praticantes BDSM. Os discursos dos participantes foram organizados de acordo com a análise temática, tendo sido identificados três temas: i) entre o despertar e a consolidação do interesse pelo universo BDSM; ii) contactos, encontros e (des)continuidades; e iii) vivências eróticas e sexuais (des)vendadas. Os resultados apurados sugerem percursos de entrada no universo BDSM motivados por um interesse explicado pelos participantes à luz de factores de natureza individual, da curiosidade ou simples vontade de quebrar a rotina. Sugerem ainda a avaliação positiva de um processo de identificação e consolidação desse mesmo interesse, descrito como uma aprendizagem contínua, de modo a materializar, com responsabilidade, um conjunto de fantasias, fetiches e desejos habitualmente mantidos no domínio do secreto, devido a uma percepção clara da estigmatização social habitualmente associada a este tipo de práticas.
BDSM is a term that is used to refer to a wide range of activities related with bondage, discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism. It can be defined as a game based on a previous consent between the involved parts to materialise private desires that are often understood as a transgression of so called conventional sexual practices, such as: kissing, touching, oral sex or masturbation. The present study explores the courses and reasonings of BDSM enthusiasts in the context of emergence, development and evaluation of their own practices. For this study, semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 13 people with ages between 24 and 63 that describe themselves as BDSM enthusiasts. Their answers and reasoning where organised according to a theme analysis, resulting in three themes; i) awakening and consolidation of interest towards the BDSM universe; ii) contacts, dates and (dis)continuity; iii) (un)covered erotic and sexual experiences. According to the results, the engagements with the BDSM universe were motivated by an interest of the participant that had to do with their individual nature, curiosity or simply the need to break with a routine. It also suggests that there is a positive evaluation due to an on-going learning and consolidation of the ways how to responsibly materialise a set of fantasies, fetishes and desires usually maintained as a secret because of a clear perception of a possible social stigma associated with these practices.
