For some, if not most of us, the term “BDSM” is quite strange.
Not many of us do know what bondage, dominance, and sado-masochism are and what does it have to do with sexual pleasure until the Fifty Shades Trilogy – the movie adaptation and the book came into existence. Apart from E.L. James’ novel-turned-movie, almost everyone raved about 365 Days when Netflix had it on their platform.
But, beyond these movies that you can easily find on Netflix, there are other movies that depict BDSM which can tickle your curious mind a little too much that you might want to try it for yourself (and your partner).
Here are our top 3 movie suggestions:
- The Secretary
This Steven Spielberg movie that was released in 2002 starred James Spader, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeremy Davies. The Secretary is a movie about a young woman who was recently released from a mental institution and eventually landed a job as a secretary to a very demanding lawyer. Their relationship turned from professional to a sexual, sadomasochistic one.
- Bound
Released in 2015, Bound is about a daughter of a wealthy Real Estate broker, portrayed by Charisma Carpenter. She fell in love with a younger man, who introduced her to BDSM and paved the way for her to take charge of her own life.
- Berlin Syndrome
You have to be careful when watching this 2017 movie, though, because it can trigger extreme emotions. The story revolves around a passionate holiday romance that leads to an obsessive relationship. The lead role, portrayed by Teresa Palmer, found herself on a solo trip in Berlin when she met a local, he took her to his apartment only to get locked out.
Apart from these movie suggestions, we also suggest that you and your partner must talk and agree on safe words when trying BDSM as we would always encourage safety above pleasure.
