Heh - I didn't expect to see Dungeons & Dragons get quoted in an article about BDSM...
"A lot of the time it's about understanding the language - and what really is going on. Actually, at the end of the day it's just a game - and no more threatening compared to the other games people play, like Dungeons and Dragons, or even going to Star Trek conventions."

It continually amuses me that fluffy handcuffs and whips are available in most high streets yet the 'media' and 'moral right' still consider BDSM something which is underground and unusual.

Do the lad's mags bother with this stuff?

Damn! I think the emperor may have forgotten his clothes again.
1) the jump from fluffy handcuffs to some of the concepts in bdsm is a jump further than most make in a conceptual lifetime
2) how many people who see themselves as part of the subculture would be happy if those people who see them as immoral now welcomed them tomorrow?
