I can answer definitively, "no," and "no." I think there's a tagline of, "safe, sane, and consensual" somewhere to describe it and distance it from other things.
If you are wondering if BDSM is the same as abuse, I would suggest researching what BDSM is and how it is different from abuse. Here's a trusted source's list of resources that you may or may not find useful:
