I just wanted to say thank you for explaining this in a clear way. I went and read the original statement and I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion I worry that this person wasn't as open minded as they appear. If you had asked me 5 years ago about BDSM relationships I might have answered along the same lines because most of the info on tv doesn't really explain what this is about. So I am a curious person and I asked people who lived the life style why. I have met some wonderful people who live their lives very much like mine. What I liked most and what this original person didn't get was trust. The amount of trust there is in a healthy BDSM relationship is epic. Most marriages would be wonderful if they had even half the trust and communication that most BDSM couples have. People I taked to in the life style said that everyday life was more about people actually doing the chores assigned to them then bondage. Not to make light of it but BDSM sounds pretty damn good if I didn't have to cook every day and do the laundry. Anyway thanks for continuing the discussion and really is it anyones business what you do in your relationships. Lyn
