The University of NSW in Australia conducted a study of at least 20,000 BDSM people and found something unexpected. What they learned was that people who engage in the lifestyle are actually more satisfied and happier than people who do not.
“People with these sexual interests have long been seen by medicine and the law as, at best, damaged and in need of therapy and, at worst, dangerous and in need of legal regulation.” Click here to read the full article.
Finally, someone has done a study showing that we are not the broken sexual deviants that today’s society would make us out to be. I am very excited about the study that took place and am hoping that this institution will continue to explore those of us in the lifestyle. Another positive from an academic study such as this, is that in the years to come more people who are new to the lifestyle won’t have to deal with the heightened level of shame and fear that has plagued us in “normal” society. Or at least, one can hope for that kind of outcome.
