The Great Lies of BDSM (and a few others)...

..that we tell straight people:
It's a fashion statement
It's for a crafts project
I fell off my bicycle

...that we tell each other:
I've never even fantasized about doing that
I just do this for fun. I don't need it
Mistress, I'll do anything you want

...that we tell ourselves:
I'm normal
I always stop when I feel genuine anger
I only play with people I respect
I'm doing this for healthy reasons

...that dominant men tell submissive women:
I think of women as equals
I have a healty relationship with my mother
I truly believe that it takes a strong woman to submit

...that submissive women tell dominant men:
I don't have any unresolved issues regarding my father
It's enough to serve you, Master. I don't need to get off
I really want you to be in charge
I love it when you ejaculate in my mouth
Licking your feet and bottom really turns me on
I like your pot belly
You own me body and soul

...that submissive men tell dominant women:
I'll do anything you want
I exist only to serve you
I don't care about getting off
I regard women as superior beings
You're beautiful to me
I really get off on doing housework for you
My wife knows that I do this

...that dominant women tell submissive men:
I basically like men
Wearing high heels makes me feel more powerful
I can't top anybody who doesn't turn me on
I never switch
I love giving golden showers

...that we tell vanilla prospective play partners:
It's not pain. It's just strong sensation
This is fundamentally a nurturing activity
Submission is empowering
You need to explore this side of yourself

...that dominant women tell each other:
I have the perfect slave
I feel that you and I are part of a Sisterhood
I can stay in top space while I'm "receiving"

...that submissive women tell each other:
My Master takes good care of me
I'm not really an exhibitionist
I don't feel competitive towards other submissives
It's OK with me if you play with my Master

...that dominant, heterosexual men tell each other:
My slave never says no to me
Some of my best friends are submissive men
When I watch you play at a party, I don't secretly hope that you'll screw up and everyone will notice
I can still be dominant after I've had an orgasm

...that submissive, heterosexual men tell each other:
The most important thing is to serve the Mistress
I never tell her what to do
I've never gone to a professional Mistress
I love it when my Mistress won't let me come for days
I don't think my Mistress is fat
I don't mind that you can take more pain than I can

I really like going down on my Mistress during her period

...that bi switches tell each other:
I truly don't care which gender I play with
I'm not at all homophobic
I separate sex from SM
Being bi is the best of both worlds
I only play with people I feel intimate with
I only play with other switches

...that professional Mistresses tell each other:
Business is good
I never have sex with a client
Business is bad
I always stick to my specialty and refer out clients who want other things
I'd do this even if I wasn't getting paid
I never need to bottom
I'm always in control of the session
I'm a good businesswoman
My lover doesn't mind that I do this
It was my choice to leave my last straight job

And, finally, the three great lies that vanilla people tell SM people:
Hearing about this doesn't shock me
I know other people who are into this
We negotiate everything too
