Personally, I think there's a lot of myth around BDSM that's so common most people accept it as truth. I'm not, like, an expert on any of that, but actual BDSM should be more about the mental aspect of being tied up and unable to resist, predict, and control anything that's done to them, not the physical pain or shame.
I don't disagree that it is mainly about the forced submission and dominant mental aspects but it still feels like, at least to me, like the description given.
Yeah, BDSM is all about being respectful to each other.
It's why safe words are so important and a must for such things.
And yeah, the range of stuff people do depends entirely on the people doing them.
Sadist: your parents are disappointed in you. It seems like you're attracted to poor life decisions and almost every problem you have is the result of your own mistakes.
People will say anything to make whatever they are doing seem more rational and 'normal' when in reality, it was deviancy to begin with. People have every right to practice deviancy though, and not to be judged for it so long as they don't hurt anyone else.
