TRIGGER WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR SURVIVORS THIS POST CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT IS TRIGGERING. Personally, I dreamed about bdsm in sixth and seventh grade. I can'T think of any enviromental reason for my having these very bdsm specific fantasies. I do suspect that physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can lead to an interest in bdsm. Humans are imprinted by their first sexual experience. If a female child is spanked and finds it erotic, this feeling my last for the rest of her life. If a female child was sexually abused, this can make the child submissive. Adults who were sexually abused as children often find sex repulsive and disgusting because their first sexual experience was repulsive and disgusting. When they start craving sex, they feel conflicted about it. They may feel shame and guilt. Having their partner tie them allows them to indulge in sex without the guilt, because they are not having sex voluntarily. If the first sexual experience was r*pe, then the person may find reinacting that experience is the only way they can enjoy sex. Likewise, if someone was "used" their first sexual experience, they may continue to enjoy being used. If a child was whipped or beaten with belt, they may crave being whipped or whipping others. Psychodrama or reinactment of a traumatic experience can be healaing. It is also a form of desensitization. Abuse sometimes makes the child dominant, defiant and sadistic, this occurs more often with male children, where testosterone turns anger outwards instead of inwards as is the case with most female survivors who turn their anger inwards and become submissive. People become ***INURED*** to their environment. People adapt to their environment. So if a child is in an abusive environment, they may adapt to their environment by learning to accept the abuse. Masochism and submission can be coping mechanisms for highly abusive environments. Testosterone plays an important role in dominance. There is a very strong correlation between serum level testosterone and dominance in all mammals. Physical pain can also be used to block out psychological pain. Once a person discovers the endorphins associated with physical pain, they can become addicted to those endorphins. Most females have strong sexual inhibitions. Sexual abuse as a child removes those natural inhibitions and makes some survivors much less sexually inhibited. It is quite common for survivors of sexual abuse to be quite active sexually, and more open to new sexual experiences. Of course, many survivors of sexual abuse lose all interest in sex. I suppose it matters how strong their libido would have been. Survivors with a weak libido will be completely turned off to sex, those with a high libido have a good chance of turning to bdsm to resolve their internal conflict between their disgust with sex, and their craving for sex. Childhood abuse can lead to lifelong depression, DID (formerly MPD), cutting, border line personality disorder, low self-esteem, alienation, distrust in everyone especially men (if a male was the perp), substance abuse, promiscuity, guilt, shame, self-blame, self-hate, feeling dirty, feeling different than others, feeling like you have a dark secret that needs to be hidden, anger turned inwards, numbness, an inability to form close relationships with people, an inability to love, a change in sexual orientation, a hatred toward men, repressed anger which explodes from time-to-time at loved ones, cynicism, negativity, an absense of faith in mankind, paranoia, sociopathy, anti-social behavior, cigarette use, obesity, psychosis, flashbacks, creating a walled city around their heart, post-traumatic stress syndrome, an inability to beileve anyone is good, prostitution, always anticipating and expecting the worst, accepting bad to avoid the anxiety of getting it by surprise, a need to always be in contol or a desire to be controlled. Physical pain can be used to block psychological pain, and fight a feeling of numbness.
