I think I would rather like living in a community where people wouldn't stare at me if I'm being led around on a leash by some guy. But it would have to also be a community where people wouldn't stare at me if the next day I was leading the same guy around on his leash.

That is to say, societal acceptance and celebration of kinks, yes. Rigidly prescribed roles like that Gor group the article mentions, hell no.

To Curious George - individualism is all well and good, and I'd certainly hate to think of myself as "normal", but I don't think that's why I like BDSM. I'd like not being seen as weird or sick for being submissive.
