A misconception I had was thinking that subs were used only for the pleasure of the one in control, be it Dom or Domme.

Another one was thinking that anyone who would freely submit to being tortured in any manner had to have a screw loose somewhere.

Another thought I had was that Dom/Dommes got more pleasure out of inflicting greater pain. Never even considered the mutual satisfaction aspect of it until joining this forum.

It is too easy to develop stereotype images of BDSMers with all the Internet sites available today. Reading some stories also perpetuate those stereotype images.

As with Tojo, learning every day.
