I absolutly agree with cariad and aussiegirl. I've seen a few "doc's" on telly (and mostly they are called "shockdoc" or "extreme lives") and it's all about the commercial aspect of the BDSM lifestyle or, if not, the most extreme couples that you can encounter. Now I don't deny that there are very extreme people out there, and I don't mind (who am I to judge anyway), but it gives a very weird perspective and it doesn't give the people watching these docs a chance to really understand what the lifestyle is about. And secondly it only strengthens the predjudice that is already there in the first place, that BDSM'ers are only a bunch of crazy attention seeking people that either make/pay alot of money to get humilated/whipped/bound/etc or are in leather bound and gagged for days.

I am missing the love and trust aspect, the normal day things (how does that differ from vanilla couples if it even does), the psychological aspect of the lifestyle.
And maybe even the steps before we even reach the "extreme" state (as you can see on this forum we all give advice that if you are new to this to start out with babysteps and not just go off the deep end).

Good luck with your documentary!!
