And now for something completely different . . .

Are you into BDSM, either as a lifestyle or for the occasional bit of kink with your partner?

If you are into it, what are you: dom/domme or sub?

Yes, in case you are wondering, I have played in that world, both as a sub and as a domina. It was never a lifestyle for me; instead, a diversion. For the fun of it. But I did learn a lot about the “community.”

No, in case you are wondering, it is not about sexual lust and perversion. It is about the exchange of power and the interplay that goes with it. Most of the people I interacted with are very intelligent, and I think BDSM is very much an intellectual pursuit for some.

So, how about you?
