I would suggest to anyone interested in the practice to research it outwith the field of fiction and entirely outwith the field of political message boards. The most appropriate source of information on the subject is people who practice BDSM, not people who have no idea what it is beyond what it looks like and are liable to reach for whatever explanation of it seems to justify their emotional reaction to it.
Do NOT, repeat NOT absorb information about BDSM from non-practitioners. NEVER absorb unprocessed information about it from fantasists or phobics.
This has been a public service announcement.
I am a BDSMer. I have run workshops on how to practice it safely. I've been doing it for 20 years.

I think it's been posted here already but there is something somewhat timeless about it.
