The Identifiable: Triskelion
The BDSM symbol was designed to be enigmatic, it should be rich and full of subliminal and subjective meanings.
The Triskele, in the context of BDSM, focuses' on the three arms and the number 3.
The name BDSM can be split into three areas.
1 B&D - Bondage and Discipline
2 D&S - Dominance and Submission
3 S&M - Sadism and Masochism
Secondly, the BDSM lifestyle has a three-way creed.
1 Safe
2 Sane
3 Consensual
Thirdly, the BDSM lifestyle participant can be identified by one of three groups
1 A Top ( A Dominant, Master or Top)
2 A bottom ( A submissive, slave, or bottom)
3 A Switch ( A person who may be a Dominant in one relationship or role-play setting and a submissive in another. They are able to switch or serve in both roles)
So now if we look at the three legs, each leg represents one of the three concepts.
