I can't speak for feminists, but many years ago I did play a bit in BDSM, in the play that I did, the "bottom" or slave actually had the ultimate say in what happens and how far things go. We used safe words, my preference was to use colors, green meant everything is fine, yellow slow down and red meant stop, the "top" or master should ask from time to time what color you are, watch you carefully to gauge where you are, and respect your limits and needs. It was all consensual.
BTW, for me it wasn't about sex. it was all about the endorphins. :)
Haven't done any of that in MANY years now...

Since the BDSM lifestyle is about power and control of others, it is hypocritical of some feminists to be in this lifestyle?

Dominance and submission (D & S or D/s) (including "master and slave" role-playing scenarios and ongoing relationship structures)
Sadism and masochism (S & M or S/M)
BDSM needs five people to play the game and have various coded languages which are colour based usually, but can contain animals, plants and other various forms of representation based on the agreement. They usually love leather and No is not an answer that they take as its not part of the coded language.
No reply means carry on doing what you are doing as we have submitted to your request and accept and acknowledge your needs. Its part of submission.
It is considered dehumanising and is punishable under law if detected and found out.
Very interesting. Many of those replying to this poll say BDSM is ok. But you say it is illegal?
If the coded words and terms are not respected. It takes place if the person practicing it makes the complaint of being violated.
In the past, many activities and fantasies related to BDSM were generally attributed to sadism or masochism and were regarded by psychiatrists as an illness. Following the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) sadomasochism is categorized a "Disorder of sexual preference" (F65.5) and described as follows: "A preference for sexual activity which involves the infliction of pain or humiliation, or bondage. If the subject prefers to be the recipient of such stimulation this is called masochism; if the provider, sadism. Often an individual obtains sexual excitement from both sadistic and masochistic activities."[86]
So it is not illegal but a sexual disorder?
Would this be considered legal in the eyes of the law. It is consensual.
Five Partners in a sexual game - I know I threw my husband out for posing with 5 half naked women in Australia.
BTW, for me it wasn't about sex. it was all about the endorphins. :)
