to take a perfectly nice little thread and, after dissection and vivisection, say "Oh, did I not work and play well with others?"



Just teasing you, woodsman'sgame. Your ideas are expressed quite intelligently and eloquently ... and your points are valid.

I agree the concept I have presented is simplistic; it is not my own, rather it is a random thought/memory that trickled up from the dark nether regions of memory and said "Hey!"

Nevertheless, I do suggest that a sampling of practitioners of BDSM will yield a signficant skewing toward higher levels of education than the population norm. I leave that work to an Anthropology or Psychology PhD thesis for someone else.

Conducting the research would be interesting, though ...
