(19,841 posts)I said BDSM humiliation and degradation--becoming mainstream in the world of porn (one article called it the "new norm" in porn)--this is where I see the problem. I know it's always been a thrill for some, and I don't think it should be censored anymore than anything else, but now is being promoted as the cool thing. For the young and impressionable, or the very literal minded, I worry about that.
My question--is this phenom, growing as you say, a way of coping with living in an aggressive, brutally competitive world, or is is just a distraction pushed by a huge industry and promoted to naive people as healthy? Or is it really just all fun and games...
Thx for reply & tip. I will check that out, to see if I agree it's a growing trend or hype.
