Doesn't that sound like us?Sir Guy wrote: The people...who are into BDSM are very normal, well-adjusted people. They are better company than you'd find at a stamp-collecting society or line-dancing group. They are more articulate, aware and caring than most people I have met. People have found it time and again - if someone goes through a divorce or bankruptcy or difficult time, it's their friends from 'the [BDSM] scene' who rally round.

If this is you working up to arriving at the next do with a cat-o-nine tails, a leather mask, and a smile, well...

On the similarities, one is a group of seemingly normal individuals who clothe themselves in bizarre outfits behind closed doors in dark places, and torture themselves over a concept the rest of the human race considers incomprehensible and even dangerous...
And the others are BDSMers!
I'll leave you to work out the references.
Some crossover is, unfortunately, unavoidable.

I drink my coffee in a little shop in Covent Garden called CCK. A nicer enviroment to spend an afternoon in discussion with both friends and strangers I couldn't imagine.
Coffee Cake & Kink is the full name of the place. As well as a coffee and cake shop it acts as a fetish gallery, a display and retail area for erotic artists and has a vertible libary of books alongside a small range of toys etc.
Despite this it's full of normal, well adjusted people doing what coffee shop patrons do best: Nattering
In fact, I recomend it to any London based HL'ers.

Somewhere else to take my cousins when they visit
Where about in Covent Garden is the coffee shop Maisey?
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,

i don't believe in normal well-adjusted people. In my experience, normal people are anything but well-adjusted.
Some of the most "articulate" people i know are the biggest assholes around, as are socalled "caring" people. And some of the nciest people i know are taciturn and difficult to approach and walk around with a look of disdain on their faces.
My point is, those kinds of things as articulate or caring mean abso-fn-lutely nada. And it's idiotic to talk about those kinds of things as indicative of being well-adjusted or nice.
Just like i only ever hear of idiots praising democracy.

As for BDSM people - some I know are really "nice" and some are complete "arseholes" - oddly enough it is mainly the women who are the aresholes.

To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.
