On the term BDSM: very much so. It's my preferred term (though also not perfect) and I never refer to "sadomasochism" in my academic work anymore unless I'm quoting someone/something else. Sadomasochism is essentially a clinical term invented out of two literary texts! It's always seemed ridiculous to me that so much received public wisdom about BDSM is based on literature. I do believe it was the 19th century sexologists who originally slung the two words together, but they don't really fit very well.
Oh, and I just looked up that "sexologist" at my place of work and he's not a registered, accredited psychosexual therapist... Probably not one to see. "Well-behaved women rarely make history"
