Gentle BDSM is the notion of applying gentleness to the mindset of a BDSM dynamic. It's a mindset for a scene, not a specific group of practices within BDSM. Although we do not presume to shame anyone who prefers a non-gentle approach to these practices, our goal is to focus on them in association with a few key-words: a strong sense of care, consideration and affection, to create a supportive and affirmative environment that brings a feeling of safety to those involved, even when practicing kinks that could be seen as harsher.
