I have always wondered at the relationship between abuse and a later interest in BDSM. I know not everyone who is abused developed an interest in BDSM or that those who like BDSM have been abused.

I remember reading an article about a women who had been abducted when she was a teenager and forced to be a sex slave. She wrote how she had been made to endure whippings without a sound. She was eventually rescued and years later found she needed similar stimulation. She was at the time of writing the article in a BDSM relationship.

I would be interested in finding out more about this. Sorry if this thread in not in the right place, I wasn't quite sure were to put it.
