A sex survey has found that Australians who enjoy BDSM and discipline
are not damaged or dangerous. The research showed 2 per cent of adult Australians
regularly partake in sadomasochism and dominance and submission-type
sexual role play.
It might even make you happier than those who
practise "normal" sex.
"Our findings support the idea that discipline and sadomasochism (BDSM) is simply a sexual interest or subculture attractive to a minority," Associate Professor Juliet Richters and her colleagues wrote in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. In fact, men who take part in BDSM may be happier, with results showing they score significantly lower on a scale of psychological distress than other men. Buy your bondage gear here and get happy!
