Who were the first in recorded history to practice BDSM and who have been the trailblazers that have enhanced the practice and brought it from the shadows into the bright sunlight?

Now that is a tough one to answer and frankly I do not know! It sure would be interesting to know about its origins though.

It's been in the 'bright sunlight' since before the Roman days.
Google is your friend - it's not hard to find.

And stop making socks to answer yourself!!

Since it's a sock that posted the original, meaning it will go bye-bye for circumventing moderation, might as well have fun.

How many people put socks on their Christmas list?

And how many people receive socks that don't really want them??

I'm quite happy for posts that deal with socks to go POOOFF!!
Just wish it didn't take so long.

Maybe the socks all buy the other multiple personalities socks for Christmas. I never did get an answer about if they/he puts all the names in a hat and maybe each name only drew one to buy a Christmas gift.

I just hope the therapist for said sock puppet creator gets a really nice gift. Probably the most deserving person on the Christmas shopping list.

I have requested socks for Christmas. FITS is the best ski sock around! I highly recommend the FITS brand.

I have a question. What happens when the washer eats the sock of a sock? Do they lose one of their multiple sock personalities.

Dunno.
Perhaps the sock that got eaten needs to fight with the sock monster in the machine to find out who wins

At least they all seem to be similar socks. It's not like losing a purple sock and a pink sock that leaves you with a mismatched pair.

If you wash a pink and a purple sock, you end up with a mauve sock. And nobody wants a mauve sock!

These are the hot items with sport bike riders and skateboarders - at $12 bucks a pair they're a great stocking stuffer.

$12 a PAIR?????????? Fuck that!!!
I pay less than £5 (about $7.50) for *5* pairs - and I think that's too expensive!!

Do you spend all day out in sub zero temps shoveling snow? Because they work for that.

And you get what you pay for. These socks are thicker on the soles, have a specific heel pocket and provide arch support. They're designed for people who ride motorcycles, dirt bikes, BMX and skateboards to protect their feet.

Roman is my first original thought, but then again, that would be the first well-documented evidence which doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't practised prior to then. There is an Etruscan fresco with a depiction of it, so that instantly pre-dates the Roman period.

You may be undervaluing socks. They do serve some useful purposes and cheap one wear out quicker (though not round here it would seem).

Mind you if I paid $12 for every pair of socks, I wouldn't be able to afford my extensive sock stable, from which I carefully pick a favoured sock (or preferably two) for wearing each day.
