Re: Actually...
No worries; you're welcome. I think it's important for people—in and out of the culture—to understand that, while the behavior is deliciously deviant (in that it breaks traditional and classical social norms), BDSM is actually a very normal and widely-held—at least on the fantasy level—way to express sexuality and desire. It has a history that dates back to the Marquis de Sade and back and is a lifestyle that continues today among average, healthy, hard-working, productive members of society in a rate that would undoubtedly shock most people. And kudos to those who are brave enough to embrace this darker side of themselves.
