Dronification Network

In the context of BDSM, dronification refers to a psychological and physical practice where an individual, the 'drone', adopts the role of an emotionless and programmed entity. This often involves adopting rigid behaviors and communication protocols that strip the drone of human characteristics and autonomy. The goal is not only to achieve mechanical precision in behavior but also to foster a deep state of mental transformation in which personal identity is fully submerged into the role of the drone.

This practice can include various elements such as wearing specific outfits (usually made from materials like latex or rubber that promote a sense of depersonalization), using technological tools to monitor or direct behavior, and following strict routines and commands set by a 'Controller'. Dronification places unique demands on both the psychological endurance of the participant and the creative and responsible approach of the dominant partner.

History and Evolution of Dronification in BDSM

Although the concept of dronification as a distinct BDSM practice is relatively modern, its roots resonate with older psychological and sexual explorations into power and identity denial. Historically, early twentieth-century experiments with conditioning and behavior control refer to a similar fascination with controlling or manipulating human behavior.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the kink community began to conceptualize dronification as a specific fetish within the BDSM activity spectrum. Inspired by both science fiction and emerging technologies in robotics and telemetry, the BDSM community started experimenting with dynamics of complete control and sensory deprivation as erotic practice.

With the advent of the internet and the subculture of cyberpunk and technofetishism, dronification gained a platform where enthusiasts could share ideas, costumes, and scenarios. Forums and social media platforms enabled individuals to unite around this niche interest, leading to the development of specific tools, clothing, and protocols that support these fantasies.

Recent developments in technology, such as VR (virtual reality) and advanced telemetry, have further expanded the possibilities for dronification within BDSM. These technologies offer new ways to exert control and intensify the experience of total submission and sensory management, making the practice more inclusive and accessible to a wider audience within and outside the BDSM community.
