i'm new to the board but if i may say so, would half of U(u)s really enjoy BDSM quite so much if it wasn't at least a little taboo? Alot of the thrill would be gone. Sure, it's frustrating that other people don't understand or accept what W(w)e do, but in the end i know i personally wouldn't have it any other way. i get crap because i "set the feminist movement back 50 years every time i pick up His dry clean," but i just smile and laugh to myself that they don't know how those clothes got dirty in the first place ;-)
