No magic to it, just a good organisation and a lot of hard work. In Denmark we have had Smil for a sufficient number of years going out and giving talks, and it has had a very good effect. It also helps that the country is smaller - easier to cover.

But speaking of this country, the case with the head of Formula 1 Racing who was exposed in newspapers as having BDSM did in the end take the paper to court and won the case against them, on the grounds that what the paper had written was not 'in the public interest'. If bdsm had been considered abnormal or dangerous, this verdict would not have been given.
