Sorry nikita - that's my linear mind at work again - there's so many papers re: the extensive research (validated and replicated) into the cognitive functioning behind those who enjoy the many elements of BDSM, I thought an alernative (e.g. linear and objective) research paper would be an interesting addition to address Tabuks's question - that's all - that's why I stated 'boring'. I apologise if I caused any offence by adding to this post. I, for one, have no time for psychodymanic theories. I do however, appreciate the scientific study of the mind, sexuality and behaviour - but like I said, 'boring'. Sorry again. Delete if you want *smiles*
