BDSM from the BBC

17 07 2008

I follow some of the BBC stuff.  I ran across this article today and I thought you would find this interesting. There has been a big scandal in Europe involving some sort of Big Wig in racing and a prostitute.  Still it lead the BBC to write this article on BDSM practices and I found it fairly good.  Enjoy.

Nobody knows how many people are involved in the “scene”: a loose grouping of people across the country who enjoy an unorthodox – and under current laws potentially illegal – sexual lifestyle. However, one US study suggests 11% of women and 14% of men have engaged in BDSM – an abbreviation for bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadism and masochism – activities.

A “dominant” calling himself Sir Guy says it’s a “chance to forget all adult responsibilities and – in the best sense of the word – be irresponsible. One of my puppies [his term for a submissive] refers to his sessions as ‘holidays from humanity’.”

Let me know what you think, in the comments
