Bondage Makes Men Happier
Well I know it does any men that I am with ;) Now surveys are indicating others feel the same. According to a survey conducted by Sydney based World Association of Sexual Health, men who are "into BDSM" are psychologically healthier. From a Foxs News article:
... men into BDSM scored significantly better on a scale of psychological wellbeing than other men.
“This seems to imply that these men are actually happier as a result of their behaviour, though we're not sure why,” she (Dr Richter) said.
Perhaps the people who are "into BDSM" feel more communicating about their sexual needs? And perhaps this increased level of communication leads a better sex life? I am not one to purport that vanilla sex isn't yummy because it certainly is. Sex is yummy period. Vanilla relationships are not inferior to D/s relationships - they're just different. That said, I think perhaps the nature of the D/s relationship calls for a level of communication that may not be as easily found in many vanilla relationships.
At any rate, isn't it great to know that you're probably psychologically healthier than a lot of other people out there? (98 percent of other people to be exact - if you believe the survey results are valid.)
The new sex study has revealed that 2 percent of Australian men and 1.4 percent of women admit to enjoying dominance, submission and sadomasochism-type sex in the past year.
Well perhaps not quite that small of a percentage.
“There will definitely be more men and women who have sexual tastes in this direction but won't call it this,” said Dr. Juliet Richters, of the University of New South Wales.
It seems people just don't like the label. They're not willing to admit they like "BDSM", but they get off on a little bondage and spanking. Just don't label it kink and they're ok.
Whatever the percent, I am sure that number is growing. More and more people are developing an open mind and allowing a healthy sexual curiosity to creep in and take control for just a little while. As they do, they're finding what we already knew.
Kink is good. Yum.

Dr Ritcher's has an interesting point because I have had difficulty defining; dominance, submission and kink. I also beleive, although most of us speak and write English we have very diverse meanings in what and how we say things. I would argue there is a cultural and sub-cultural element in how we talk and express what is percieved as alternative lifestyles. Perhaps the folowing sentence is more enlightening?
What is the difference between Kinky and Perverted?
Kinky! is when you tickle your partner's bottom with a chicken feather.
Perverted is when you use the whole Chook!!
Interesting about more communication leading to more fun to more balance, more happiness. I think kinky people must also "communicate" more internally, be more in touch with themselves sexually/spiritually, at least on levels leading to happier lives. And what is it we are currently using to compare "kink" to in order to define it? Is not most of the English speaking world still very much under the ghost thumb of the Victorian British? What is considered kinky today was perhaps once considered normal in older cultures.
That. Is. F-ing. Awesome. Also, kind of obviuos, but still awesome.
