One-line definition
A scene is a single BDSM or kink interaction framed within a specific time, space, and negotiated scope.
Full definition
A scene can be ten minutes or an evening. What makes it a scene is the frame: negotiation beforehand, roles taken up, the interaction itself, stop mechanisms available throughout, and aftercare at the end. Despite the theatrical word, a scene is not necessarily a public performance, and it does not necessarily involve sex; it is simply one bounded event, distinct from the everyday relationship around it.
