It said subs scored lower in mental health than did dominants and switches, but that subs never scored lower than vanillas.

I don't know. Many members of the "BDSM community" I've met over the years seem to readily contradict this.

The study certainly has its pros but still, just being a sub does not make anyone any more or any less crazy. Unless it really has impacted someone's life in a negative way. People who live this Lifestyle 24/7,I wouldn't say they are crazy either just because they may live this way of life all the time.If its a positive experience,then I can't see how that could be deemed "crazy".

Any unhealthy relationship isn't good for the human spirit.

It means completely sane and the brain engine fire on all barrels up to full rev, but somewhat neurotic.

I find it amusing that the sentence is a perfect description with those I have had long time relationships with. Though the one I got one on-off thing with right now don't even have the slightest neurotic streak.

Any study like this do have one big shortcoming though, and that is the selection of those who were interviewed. I have a hunch it were not average but people who have a need to communicate. That mentioning of "more outgoing" made one alarm bell go off for me. Since IMO many submissives have a somewhat introverted personality.

I can, however, attest to the fact that I am saner than most

His family that is Vanilla are the ones that pay out the big bucks for therapy and pills. His sister drove down from Washington DC and forgot her pills and had to call in an emergency prescription when she started having anxiety attacks.

Of course, I take pills, and have a lot of outside support, but I know other, vanilla bi-polars - and a few in the lifestyle - who are just nuts. I consider that to be using your diagnoses as an excuse for bad behavior, which I am opposed to. Crazy or not, I am accountable for my actions and choices. And I choose to get beat on. And, when I'm getting it - I'm unowned now, so not so much - I am more stable yet. When I was trying to go to nursing school while being non-medication managed, I would ask my owner at the time to beat me before a big test. The endorphins it released would carry over to the next day, and I could take my test calm and relaxed. How do vanilla people duplicate that, unless they run?
