ORIGINAL: tsatske quote:
Really? I actually tend to assume anyone into BDSM has at least one major flaw, bad habit, character trait or traumatizing experience that hampers their life. At some point, the reason they are into BDSM is usually connected to that, and use BDSM to compensate or lessen that problem. Until now, I've always been right on this See, I don't agree that you have been right about this. I think people see what they believe in, and you believe in this. I think anyone and everyone has at least one major flaw, bad habit, character trait or traumatizing experience in their personal history. (actually, I think an AND would fit there just fine and dandy.) I think that YOU expect to see a connection between peoples sexual prefrence and their 'fatal flaw', and, since you expect it, you see it. Gee, that's pretty easy to understand, isn't it? You might actually be right on this, but I think that the people who were naturally into BDSM activities from birth are quite a minority. There are reasons that push people into BDSM, and those reasons are usually related to those experiences. Here are a few examples: - People who are raised in a very strict and disciplined environment will feel a need to punish/be punished -People who felt the need of a parental figure will often be into spanking -People who are taught that sex is wrong/evil, or that they shouldn't have sex before marriage will develop rape fantasies Those are well documented examples that explain my point. Like it or not,BDSM IS outside the norm and is not a common practice. There are reasons that push people to Dominate, submit, whip, tie up, ect...I think its an important thing to know, as it explains the source of a person's interest. @ReinaPop: I guess my line regarding vanillas was too subtle. I'm not saying that people into BDSM are having more mental problems than others, I'd be insulting myself! All I was saying is, as I explained just now, that its usually important for someone's personnal growth to know what pushed them into WIITWD. In general, people in BDSM are more open and tolerant than others, BECAUSE they do something about those issues, and find some sort of balance.
