Conditioning in BDSM refers to consensually building habits, routines, or behavioral associations through repetition within a negotiated relationship dynamic. It is based on mutual agreement and should never undermine a participant's autonomy or ability to withdraw consent. Every couple develops their own approach according to shared goals. Communication and regular review of expectations help maintain a healthy relationship.
