Interesting Slate article, though a bit heavy on statistics.

Spank You Very Much
Is S&M dangerous? Let's look at the evidence.

Bottom line: BDSM is cool. And kinksters have more sex.

That's a bottom line I could get behind. And spank!

S&M isn't dangerous.....inexperienced people within it are.

According to the author one 'proof' that BDSM isn't a sexual orientation is that a large number (52% of men not exclusively tops) of its members sometimes shift roles.

So how is being gay is a sexual orientation, when a large number of its members sometimes shift roles?

I sure hope S&M is dangerous. Around my house, if its not dangerous, you're doing it wrong!

When I've been a very good girl it's extra dangerous.

Easy, that was written by a moron who knows as much as people who believe you learn to be gay or choose it.....:). i think the doofus is confusing BD/SM with roles within it, not too bright. A switch is roughly the equivalent to someone who is bisexual, whereas someone who tops/bottoms/Dom/Sub exclusively are like heteros *shrug*. I wonder if this jackward thinks bisexuals aren't a sexual orientation either.

Though you can argue that BD/SM is entirely sexual, how about people into service D/s that never have sex? Or where they have D/s but don't do kink?
