What is ring of o?

The Ring of O is a symbol of the BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism) community. It is typically a gold or silver ring that is worn on the middle finger of the left hand. The ring is believed to have originated from a story written by author Anne Desclos under the pen name Pauline Réage in the 1950s. The story, "Story of O," is a controversial novel that explores themes of dominance and submission.

In the BDSM community, the Ring of O is worn as a symbol of ownership and/or submission. It can represent a commitment to a Dominant partner or a recognition of one's submissive nature. The ring is often given as a gift between partners in BDSM relationships.

It is important to note that participation in BDSM activities should always be consensual and safe. The Ring of O is not a requirement for participation in BDSM, but rather a symbolic token of commitment within the community.
