All of your views have been presented logically and honestly. I have no personal experience of BDSM...most of my knowledge came from negative press items etc. Then through QAF and fan fiction I have I think gained a more balanced understanding of the whole relationship...I have to add that I avoided reading this type of fiction for a long time because of my negative view of it. Once I read some I wanted to know more(the first one was COLLAR BOUND)...I find it very interesting and stimulating:)...once I got over my initial reluctance... As someone mentioned fanfiction etc cannot give full knowledge or the reality of BDSM...it is of course fiction but through reading it I have then gone on to research certain things and I feel I understand it more now. I admit some things I have come across unerve me and upset me making me wonder why and how...but on the whole I continue to investigate. I agree there will always be people who abuse the relationship as in everything else...it's the human condition I guess...
Anyway I wanted to applaud your honesty...it is interesting and informative to learn things from people who actually know what they are talking about! I do tend to wander off the point of things so this may not fully make sense so apologies:) later x
