sex was "shameful."BDSM was not something that got talked about that often in the past but, luckily, the shame and stigma that was once associated with enjoying a good and varied sex life has started to fade.Research shows that more people are actually starting to enjoy spicier sex, and some people are even starting to experiment more with BDSM.READ MORE:Disney actress turned adult star Maitland Ward on reality of new job and 12-hour orgiesStatistics recorded last year revealed that 84% of the 2,381 adults surveyed admitted to trying out BDSM, or Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism.

It was also discovered that those who like to enjoy a little kink have a more enhanced sex life than those who don't.As you probably know the type of sex can often involve roles - the dominant partner is referred to as the "dom" and the submissive is usually known as the "sub."Obviously being submissive means you're willing to fulfil the dom's sexual demands.

If you're wondering what life is like in the BDSM world a sub, called Monieau, has opened up about what it's really like, and she said it's nothing like what people think.Speaking on Metro.co.uk’s no-holds-barred sex podcast, Smut Drop, she said: "Many people believe female submissives are brain-washed and unintelligent or just following the social normative ideas around men and women."‘But that is such a broad generalisation. "There are plenty of confident, competent submissives who work in numerous high-powered, demanding roles, who just want to be submissive in the bedroom."BDSM is something that can be done in and outside of the bedroom - it's even said that some fantasies can be completely sexless.Monieau also said there isn't a "right" way to be submissive, as each person will.
