I really like the series and I thought their portrayal of BDSM was in its point of view accurate but irrelevant for me. There was the bit where she dommed her tax-guy and couldn't handle it. I thought that was a sensitive and not demeaning portrayal. Of course then in the recent season there was the bit about her being almost forced to submit to a guy and that i didn't like so much. It was just overdone for me.
