Read the book-never forgot it- thinkillskipthemovi e

Don't know what you mean when you use the term "sadomasochism", but if you're referring to BDSM as it's practiced today, you're wrong. Several studies have been done debunking the more common myths about its practitioners and, in fact, there is no higher degree of mental illness or personality disorder among them than in the general population.

In addition, the lines you quote above are inaccurate - a couple of studies indicate that people who are drawn to BDSM have "sensation thermostats" (meaning neurological hardwiring) that are set differently from those of vanilla folks to begin with and that's why they seek experiences that are more physically intense.

My advice to you - don't believe everything you read in novels . . . and do a little bit of research before you make absolute pronouncements based on your own opinions.

You're the one who just doesn't get it. There are many, many kinky folks around - myself, for one - and there are a lot of websites for us to find each other at. Safe, sane and consensual are our rules, as is "to each his/her own". If you aren't kinky, then just mind your own business, m'kay?

Darlin', don't ever take a Southern woman for granted

mental illness? are you kidding?
when done with someone who is on the same page as you and wants to be safe, it can be a completely amazing sexual experience. Its always been a turn on for me
