And the whole next paragraph just lacked a point: on how so many people extract pleasure from BDSM, where pain and pleasure (in many, many variants) come together in some controlled environment.
- protonfish 8y agoBDSM is about social hierarchy - dominance and submission. This is completely different from non-social concept of accepting suffering in the short term for a payoff later.
