| BDSM..rope, blindfolds, handcuffs, ball gag, |
A provocative article from the Netherlands published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine says people who like to participate in bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, and sado-masochism erotic play are "characterized by a set of balanced, autonomous, and beneficial personality characteristics.” Hurray for BDSM practitioners.
Practitioners of BDSM report “a higher level of subjective well-being” when compared to people who tend to have more boring forms of sex.
These sexual practices have long been "associated with psychopathology," the paper says. "However, several more recent studies suggest a relative good psychological health of BDSM practitioners."
The results mostly suggest favorable psychological characteristics of BDSM practitioners compared with the control group; BDSM practitioners were less neurotic, more extroverted, more open to new experiences, more conscientious, less rejection sensitive, had higher subjective well-being, yet were less agreeable.
The conclusion: BDSM is "recreational leisure," not pathology.
The results suggest fabourable psychological characteristics of BDSM practitioners compared with the control group; BDSM practitioners were less neurotic, more extroverted, more open to new experiences, more conscientious, less sensitive to rejection, had higher subjective well-being, yet were less agreeable.
I am pleased to say I have practiced and played in the BDSM lifestyle most of my life and have always been proud to defend it!
