Fluid

Within BDSM, fluid refers to something that is changeable, flexible, or flowing - a dynamic, role, or preference that is not fixed but moves with the person, the moment, or the energy between partners. Someone who is fluid does not feel bound to one fixed role (such as Dominant or sub), but allows his or her experience to depend on the situation, mood, or partner.
