Clan

In BDSM, a clan refers to a group of people connected through a shared dynamic, identity, or relationship structure. Unlike a formal BDSM house, a clan is usually less hierarchical and more community-based. Members may share similar roles (such as submissives, Dominants, or switches), a specific kink interest, or simply a social bond within the kink scene. Clans can be: - Loose and social (friends who attend events together). - Identity-based (centered around a shared label or aesthetic). - Structured but informal (with some expectations, but fewer rules than a house).
