power exchange
Control changes hands
Power exchange describes a relationship dynamic where one person consensually transfers authority or control to another.
The term is central to BDSM culture, covering arrangements from bedroom scenes to full-time dominant/submissive partnerships.
Unlike casual dominance, power exchange implies negotiated, ongoing structure: Their power exchange relationship has clear protocols.
The exchange can be partial or total, temporary or permanent.
