First off, I'm one of those that shudder every time someone says that they are a "natural" or "true" anything. This always seems to be something cut and paste right out of castlerealm...AKA BDSM-for-the online-crowd-by-the-online-crowd-without-knowing-what-the-hell-we're-talking-about.com. quote:
ORIGINAL: KarbonCopy Are we going to be seeing a new generation of lifestylers? Uncorrupted by the vanilla world? Are we seeing a new generation? Yes. Most certainly, but it has absolutely nothing to do with being "natural". People are simply being exposed to various kinks much earlier than they had been in the past. You see much more leather and latex, sex, BDSM-related advertising, etc within the mainstream media. Kids go to a "PG" movie and see things that were considered unsuitable for children under the age of 17 10-15 years ago. Parents monitor their children less so you may find 13 year olds hanging out in BDSM chatrooms or watching "The Secretary". The younger crowd is getting interested earlier, but they are definately not uncorrupted. The internet is largely responsible for a lot of new people finding BDSM, however it is also responsible for most of the gross misconceptions regarding BDSM. Then you have a lot of the "Next Generation" groups that don't like to see "old" people play, so they form a clique of people within their own age group. Some of these groups get involved with larger organizations and get some real mentoring, but others rely only on what they are taught by their peers, (which again may be only what they had learned in some chatroom.) I believe that some people may be genetically inclined to seek out a dominant or submissive position within a relationship, but it is a matter of when the person is exposed to BDSM and what information they are exposed to that determines if and when they will take the next step and how "corrupted" they will be. ~Thorns
