tychtyp -> Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:00:26 PM)

I've noticed that straight female subs tend to be older, overweight and overwhelmingly Caucasian. Why?




NuevaVida -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:03:31 PM)

It's a conspiracy attempt to piss off everyone who wants a foreign, thin, bisexual woman.




GreedyTop -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:05:25 PM)

Well I'm older, overweight and overwhelmingly Caucasian, but I'm not straight, I'm opportunistically bisexual.  Kinda screws with your hypothesis, huh?

I was going to give this poster credit for knowing and using the word 'demographics' a word which I seldom see used by the general public.

However, to give a non-snarky answer, for some reason most participants in public sex play (including bdsm) are white.  Some are asian, some hispanic, a few black.  So I'd say that his conclusion is somewhat valid, though the sample of the universe of bdsm players is quite skewed by the self-selection aspect of his sample.

I do disagree that the older and overweight designations are valid.  There are all ages and sizes on this board and in real life.  I've been to enough parties to realize that...

I read nothing into his post other than an non-scientific observation.  Perhaps he's bored and wanted to post on SOMETHING, or perhaps he is deciding on a subject for a master's thesis.





kittengirl8 -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:30:23 PM)

Well, if your hypothesis applies to the first qualifier "straight female subs" I think Cali doesn't apply. Since she's bisexual, she doesn't matter for OP's point. (Though you always matter in other instances, Cali!)

And, OP, if you're referring to the ones on this website, remember it's skewed in favor of those more likely to use a website, and those you've actually seen. So... without full statistics and whatnot... I call bs on any and all theories like this. Why does it matter if you've noticed a trend?




CalifChick -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:30:33 PM)

Or perhaps you aren't familiar with his posting style. 


Cali




kittengirl8 -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 8:33:12 PM)

Too true. I'm going to go hang my head in shame and remember to stop trying to sound intelligent when I'm tired. It tends to bite me in the ass.

So, what is his posting style?

Ever hear of Sheila the cloned sheep?...Well we are the equivelent, We are Susie the straight submissives cloned by the government to take over the BDSM community through whatever means necessary..the government thought it would be too obvious to make us thin,bisexual,and youthful...so thus we now blend into the background quite effectively. We will infiltrate from the bottom, we will appear harmless...we will take control!!!...muah hahahaha.....and YOU  OP will be the first to become OUR slave.....Tempting (the enforcer)




GreedyTop -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 9:35:43 PM)

LOL Tempting

Overweight:
Cuz the hot chicks tend to be able to get what they want without spending lots of time online or finding a sub culture connection...or rather, the hot chicks BELIEVE they can, the non hot chicks are generally insecure so they are less likely to have found security in their relationship, more likely to go online, thus more likely to find kink, and more likely to want to be part of something they've fantasized about and where they can be useful and valued beyond their body.

Older:
Because the majority of people still only get into kink AFTER they've done the typical life thing and after seeking online for some escape or other option.  Also, it takes money and leisure time to get into a sub culture, something youngsters don't have as much of.

White:
Related to the money and leisure time, minorities are less likely to have both of those, as well as whites lacking the social stigma of doing things alternative (white goth/emo/freaky kids is practically a cliche) and the higher security to not worry about being outed, AND the lack of historical stigma attached to these sorts of kinks and fantasies

All of these will become less with the future generations IMO, and of course, there are plenty of non fat, non old, non white fem subs in the world :)




GreedyTop -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 10:30:36 PM)

*applauds LA*




monywildcat -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 10:35:34 PM)

Hey Cali, I am "damn near thirty" not technically overweight, not Caucasian in the least, and also "opportunistically bisexual".  Hey, I can even qualify as trisexual, I will try anything once! (to steal a line from my idol, Samantha from Sex and the City) However, I identify as a female "submissive".  ugh i HATE labels!!!!  That REALLY screws with the OPs hypothesis, eh????  [image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m9.gif[/image]




GreedyTop -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/4/2008 10:54:21 PM)

caucasion, here. Older? depends on how ya define that.  Overweight? No, just not as toned as I'd care to be.  Submissive? Sometimes.

Why am I older?  Because I was born in 1953.
Why am I overweight?  Because I take in more calories than I burn..
Why am I Caucasian?  Because my parents are Caucasian.
Does that answer your questions? 




Dnomyar -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/5/2008 3:46:00 AM)

Dare I ask what is trisexual??? Ok ladies quit hurting the ops brain with big words like hypothesis. Ouch.




RCdc -> RE: Demographic patterns (9/5/2008 4:07:26 AM)

I was going to post the same as Em.  So for now I'll just...

I will add, that it will also depend on 'family'.  Countries and ethnic groups that have closer knit families and extended families are only just coming 'out' as it were BDSM wise- it is much more difficult.  I would really place emphasis on the ability to spend as well being a key factor, as well as education.
