Why Britain I am sure if such a survey was done for India, we would be suprised with the figures. We have often heard that inspite of being beaten up by their partners women choose not to leave them...a form of BDSM is it not?

There are many such societies all over the world. If you thought they exist in only the West then you are wrong. They are here in India and in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh as well. If not societies as in "society" then there are small groups involving 5 or lesser couples involved in their own BDSM swinging clubs.

Absolutely correct and to be honest I have seen homemade videos on the web that got leaked. It is very much there in India and if you asked me honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong in it. If people enjoy BDSM plays that's their choice.

You don't need to say or declare anything here. But when you read this some of you must have remembered the kind of plays you have had with your spouses or boyfriends or girlfriends? Remember how exciting it was? :)

The fun in BDSM likes in the anticipation of enslaving or being a slave of someone with the psychology to inflict pain or get pain. This may be a psychological disease. I recently read somewhere that a man died when his partner left him gagged for too long and forgot about it.

Max Mosley's High Court case as reported by the BBC was totally uncalled for. I completely agree with Max Mosley when he said that sadomasochism and sadomasochistic plays to be "a perfectly harmless activity"

If sex was all about a man getting on top of a woman and doing it the missionary style then it would just remain a boring mechanical thing. We all have our fetishes and kinks. The more we let it out, the more we enjoy sex. Men have it, women have it. Yet we talk about it as some kind of perversion. We are a society of mostly hypocrites.

@ Prasad, having sex for fun and enjoyment is poles apart from the perversions and sadistic behavior which Nishi has tried to point out. Atleast I feel that sex can fully be enjoyed only when both the partners derive maximum satisfaction from it, not to satiate some sickening fetish of one of the partners.
