| What is PanPolyBDSM? |

Pansexuality (sometimes referred to as omnisexuality) is a sexual
orientation characterized by a potential aesthetic attraction, romantic love
and/or sexual desire for anybody, including people who do not fit into the
gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. We prefer to
purport that Pansexuality is described as the capacity to love a person
romantically irrespective of gender.
Polyamory is the practice or lifestyle of being open to having more than
one loving, intimate relationship at a time, with the full knowledge and
consent of all partners involved. The word is often used more broadly to
refer to relationships that are not sexually exclusive. Persons who consider
themselves open to or emotionally suited for such relationships may define
themselves as polyamorous, often abbreviated to poly.
BDSM is an umbrella term for a number of related expressions of human
sexual behavior. The major sub groups are described in the abbreviation
"BDSM" itself:
Bondage & Discipline (B&D)
Domination & Submission (D&S)
Sadism & Masochism (or Sadomasochism) (S&M)
In BDSM these activities are engaged in with the mutual consent of the
participants, and typically for mutual enjoyment.
This emphasis on informed consent and safety is also known as SSC (safe,
sane and consensual), though others prefer the term RACK (Risk-Aware
Consensual Kink), believing that it places more emphasis on acknowledging
the fact that all activities are potentially risky. There is discussion and
dispute about the meaning or intent of the terms, but in essence, both terms
refer to all participants acknowledging and accepting some level of risk.
PanPolyBDSM ~ When these three terms are brought into the amalgam
we have an open and accepting group, where all things are possible. Were
everyone involved can seek their bliss, without fear of judgement of their
kink. The intent is to walk our talk when we say, "Your kink isn't my kink,
but your kink is OK."

| While there are many Flag Color interpretations - We prefer this one. Red to represent love and passion; Purple to represent the spiritual and visionary nature of the poly people; Blue to represent the openness and honesty in poly/BDSM relationships. The Black represents leather and the solidarity with those who, though they are open and honest with all participants of their lifestyle, must hide those relationships from the outside world due to societal pressures |
