ORIGINAL: afmvdp I think that is actually slowly becomming the accepted idea among the civilized world though, that BDSM is just something that the "slightly off" are into. Certainly not what Joe Q Public would ever dare dip his feet into. It was certainly blatant about quite a few things, but I guess the American public isn't ready for those sorts of shocks (given the uproar over Janet Jackson's breasts, especially!). Australian society is a bit more open minded, from what I've seen. Women's magazines here will encourage a bit of bondage and role play and other kinky things to 'spice it up'. One magazine ran an article on folks who live D/s a few years back, which certainly would've been an eye opener to many. Kink is becoming more acceptable and understood over here, so I'm hoping to see a decent movie about D/s (not necessarily S&M) sometime in the near future :) (hey, I can dream, can't I?)
