As BDSMers, we tap into…

As BDSMers, we tap into the natural human drive to give and to receive pain. We do so fully conscious of what we are doing, and we control and direct the drive with a goal: to give ourselves and/or our partners PLEASURE. It is, perhaps, the hardest concept to explain to the non-kinky masses. We do not blindly seek to hurt or victimize; we do not want to see, much less create, misery or unhappiness. We do everything in our power to ensure that pain and discipline occur in a safe and sane context. We do it for mutual fun. For mutual happiness. We do it to build bonds and to channel the sadomasochistic impulses innate to human beings. Through consensual SM we transform pain and degradation and servility into sensuality, intimacy, joy and - hopefully- really great orgasms.
