Just wondering what people's views might be. If SM is a primary interest then is everything very black and white about personal preferences whereas if DS or BD are the primary interests then do SM personal preferences vary?

commitment is like ham and eggs. the chicken makes a contribution, the pig makes a commitment.

Of course they can :)

It's not necessarily a polar state. You can enjoy inflicting pain on others even if you like receiving it too. It sometimes brings out the worst (read that as best) of sadists since they can empathise with why the pain feels good.

They most definitely can. I know at least 2 who seem to be at pretty extreme ends of the spectrum (or both spectrums - if you'd call it a spectrum - er that's another discussion me thinks!) So not just masochists with a sadistic streak (which I thought one of them was but has proven to be much more sadistic than he let on originally!:-$)

Ilm not sure about how DS or BD impacts on that if at all.

1) Yes thats why its called sadomasochism its about pleasure from pain and i gain pleasure from both.

2) Very black & white. This is what "I" like this is what "I'm" going to do.

Good post :)

Switching is just not possible.

And all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!
