Common myths about D/s-
- Dominants are naturally cruel people
- submissives are naturally weak-willed "doormats"
- submissives are attempting to re-live childhood abuse
- Women who are into D/s are nymphomaniacs, or indiscriminate sex partners
- D/s is usually a case of "role-reversal" with people who have much power and responsibility in
real life often preferring a submissive role.
There is little or no factual evidence to support any of these concepts; submissives and Dominants
come from every part of society and most people into BDSM are quite selective about who they play
with. if only from the STD risk of promiscuity, this is not surprising, but in fact, few D/s
practicioners hop from bed to bed.
There is no evidence that people into D/s or BDSM have any greater history of childhood abuse than
the general populace.
