BDSM stories
BDSM stories are erotic fiction about power play: bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, between adults who have chosen it. The kink is the setting, but what you remember is two people finding out how much they can trust each other.
Search for BDSM stories and you get old archives, reading lists and a lot of scenes where nobody seems to have met. We’d rather start with who these people are. Here’s what we think makes the genre work, three openings to read, and how to get a story written around what you like.

What makes a BDSM story work
- The agreement is part of the heat. Knowing what she asked for makes the moment he gives it to her better. This doesn’t have to be a meeting with a clipboard. A look or a raised eyebrow can be enough, when two people know each other.
- The dominant has an inner life. Paying that much attention to someone is work. Good stories show the person in charge being nervous, or moved, or making it up as they go.
- The submissive has a will. Someone who gives up control has decided to, and can tease, bargain and change their mind. A refusal in these stories holds. That’s what makes the rest believable.
- Specific details, not a catalog. One well-chosen object in a real room does more than a list of equipment.
- What happens after. A blanket, a glass of water, a dumb joke. Readers love aftercare scenes, and so do we.
Three openings
Three openings written for this page. They stop before anything explicit. Open one to read how it starts.
The List on the Fridge
Nine years in, she taped a list of what she wanted to the fridge. Today he came home and answered it.
Read the opening
Leah had written the list in March and put it on the fridge as a dare. Nothing happened for six weeks. Ben made coffee in front of it every morning, and said nothing, and she started to think she’d embarrassed them both.
On Thursday she came home to an empty kitchen and a note in his careful engineer’s print, under the same magnet.
Item four. Eight o’clock. Bedroom. Leave your phone down here.
She looked at the clock on the stove. It was six-fifty. She could hear him upstairs, moving a chair, taking his time. She put the phone on the counter, and then she stood there for a minute with her hand over her mouth, smiling like an idiot.
What happens next?
- She goes up at eight exactly
- She goes up at seven, to see what he’ll do about it
- She adds an item five first
Workshop
She signed up for a class on power exchange to write an article. He was the assistant who noticed she wasn’t taking notes.
Read the opening
“You’re not writing anything down,” he said during the break.
Imani looked at her notebook. She’d drawn a very neat box and shaded it in. “I’m a journalist. I’m remembering.”
“You told the room you were here for an article.” Paul handed her a paper cup of coffee, black, the way she’d ordered it an hour ago from someone else. “In three hours you’ve asked eleven questions. All of them start with ‘what if someone wanted.’”
She drank some of the coffee so that she’d have something to do with her face.
“I run a beginners’ night, Tuesdays,” he said. “It’s just talking. You could come and not write anything down.”
What happens next?
- She goes on Tuesday, with no notebook
- She asks him the twelfth question now
- Skip to the night she tells him the article was never real
Safe Harbor
A ferry captain who gives orders all day has one person she’ll hand the wheel to.
Read the opening
All day Hanna told people what to do: forty cars, two hundred passengers and a deckhand who kept getting the ramp wrong. She came up the stairs of the apartment at seven with salt in her hair and her jaw tight.
Noor was at the stove and didn’t turn around. “Shoes.”
Hanna took off her shoes.
“Bag. Hook.”
She hung up her bag. Something in her shoulders had started to come down, the way it always did.
“Good,” Noor said, and now she did turn around, wooden spoon in her hand, looking her over slowly. “You’ve made enough decisions today. You’re done. Come and taste this.”
What happens next?
- Dinner first, and Noor picks everything
- Hanna says one word, the one they agreed on for bad days
- Noor turns the stove off
Setups readers ask for
- A first time, with two curious people working it out as they go, sometimes badly and usually funny.
- The settled couple, where the dynamic is just part of how the house runs.
- A gentle dominant, calm and attentive. See soft dom and praise kink.
- A woman in charge. We keep those in femdom stories, and the ones where she takes the lead in bed in every sense in pegging stories.
- Rope and restraint, where the tying is the point. Those are in bondage stories.
- The brat and the partner who enjoys it, all loopholes and comebacks.
Get one written your way
Tell metime what you want in plain words: a married couple in their forties, she’s calm and in charge, he’s never done this and keeps making jokes when he’s nervous
. It writes chapter one while you read, then you pick what happens or write it yourself. Explicit chapters sit behind sign-up and an age check. Not sure what a term means? The BDSM guide explains the letters, and the kink list explains the rest.
Questions
What are BDSM stories?
BDSM stories are erotic fiction about bondage, discipline, dominance, submission and related power play between consenting adults. Good ones are as much about trust and the people involved as about what happens.
Are BDSM stories the same as dark romance?
No. In a BDSM story the power play is something both people want and agreed to. Dark romance usually means a darker, more dangerous relationship. metime writes the first kind, not the second.
Do I have to know the terms?
No. Describe what you want in your own words, and metime works from that. If you’re curious, the kink list explains the common words.
Is it free to read?
The openings here are free. On metime, the first three chapters of your first two stories are free, with no card. After that there are three plans, from $6.99 to $14.99 every 30 days. Paid plans open soon; until then, nothing is charged.
What won’t metime write?
Every character is an adult, everyone in a scene wants to be there, and a refusal holds. Injury and a short list of other things are never written. The full list is in the content policy.
Updated October 31, 2026. Written with AI at metime. Examples on this page were written for it; every character in them is an adult.
