LordDarkPleasure -> Yay for vampire popularity (8/14/2009 9:58:59 PM)

Hi all,
I was discussing with this vanilla friend about BDSM, and she asked why someone would enjoy submitting to another. I came up with this answer, and I thought it was nice enough to share with all.
She is a fan of both Twilight and True Blood, shows that involve vampires, and compared I BDSM to vampires depicted in those shows:
At the core they are predators, they crave something that cannot be taken on equal terms. But they are also people, with a conscience and a sense of morality. They also respect and even love the humans they get along with, even if they can also see them as a prey to satiate their needs. Then inevitably comes the scene where they have to get what they crave, and the human friend/lover will give himself or herself to the vampire. At this point the human is completely helpless, at the mercy of the vampire. Yet, s/he knows that the vampire would never that far. And on that moment, when any ordinary people would see abuse and violence, all that the people who know what is going see is trust.
She said she understood BDSM a lot better, after describing this. I personally am fed up with vampire shows, but I guess they do have their use ;)
