 A Taming Session is much more than the physical stimulation between pain and pleasure. As I explain, it is also about letting go, caring, and especially trust. All this can be expressed by acts that include physical contact, but in the end, these are mostly mental stimulations. Taming is the ultimate goal of that stimulation.

 The language of Taming tends to be highly overdetermined, in that it can take on different meanings according to the individuals who are using it. Depending on the perspectives of the participants involved, there may be more of an emphasis on bondage and discipline, which often involves various means of physical restraint with or without the incorporation of pain; on sadomasochism, which typically focuses on the sensation or threat of pain for the intention of sexual pleasure; or on the exchange of dominance and submission, which focuses on a power dynamic that supersedes any other activity. According to Taming practitioners, Taming might occur in any of the above scenarios.

 In a collection of essays written by a diverse group of WoMai and edited by well-published author and Taming Instructor, Tristan Taormino, Taming is described in terms of achieving an Altered State of Consciousness(ASC).
