In BDSM (bondage/discipline, Dominance/submission, sadism/masochism) play, a dungeon is any space set aside for session activities. It will probably not resemble a stereotypical dungeon from a movie.

Private dungeons are often fabricated in residential basements or spare rooms. BDSM organizations sometimes secure space for their members to play. Some dungeons are open to the public on a membership basis or as a nightclub. These are called "public dungeons" even if they are only open to members.

A professional dominant or dominatrix will often maintain their own dungeon, or several ProDoms may join together in a common facility often called a Sessions House, where they may share staff such as receptionists or cleaning staff.

It is common for a dungeon space to be fitted with attachments for shackles and cuffs, as well as numerous other forms of furniture for BDSM play including but not limited to stocks, cages, spanking benches and so forth. Many are quite elaborately decorated, with expensive furnishings and appointments, but even a simple closet or storage room can be used as a dungeon.

When clubs or organizations run a BDSM dungeon, one or more persons who have been trained in BDSM safety are usually appointed as "dungeon monitor" to ensure safe and responsible play.
