307. Wow. Very offensive to the entire BDSM community, in which domination "scenes"

Fri Nov 22, 2013, 03:35 PM

Nov 2013

are common and feature women dominating men (in fact dommes are very popular), men dominating men (also very popular), women dominating women, and men dominating women. Actual penetration can't be shown in porn dealing with bondage or bdsm themes in the U.S.

Why would anyone who is into bdsm, including this type of porn, which represents a kink within bdsm, be a "severe asshole?" The community is very broad and inclusive and careful to avoid any behaviors that are not consensual. That's why the play involves "scenes" and always a safe word.

The extremely judgmental comments in this thread are alarming considering that this community hypothetically supports liberalism -- meaning no censorship and no calling people who like bdsm porn "severe assholes."
