Tammyjo: Yes, I am wonngderi if the motivations and what brings people to S/m, are any different than for D/s (even if it things have evolved, or whatever, to primarily D/s, in the S/m relationship in question - if that makes any sense.
book Consensual Sadomasochism delves a bit deeper than many books I imagine it's all pretty individual, but someone told me that the into things of that nature, and the emotional relationships in S/m. Altough I haven't read it, so I don't know, and all the other books listed are wonderful to know about, and I am going to check them out and order some, no doubt - I am definitely getting that one.
LA: Thanks so much for the links. It is much appreciated.

Hey All,
RE: motivations....
Despite all the cheap lame glib useless ignorant Freudian crap
you see slung around here like shit in a monkey-house,
I suspect nobody really knows what motivates kink,
deviance.... or even individual variance in breakfast cereal preferences...
........ least of all the person themselves..........
The great explorer, writer, mystic, and totally perverted
Sir Richard Francis Burton (not the actor)
... discovered the source of the nile
... was the first white man to penetrate Mecca
... had a great translation of The 1001 And 1 Nights
.... had an original translation of The Kama Sutra
who also fucked everything, everybody within reach,
... in remarkably creative ways....
had this to say about motivation....
"Abjure the why, and seek the how"
***************************************8
I own most of the books mentioned
in this thread (except the leathermen stuff)
and they are all pretty good, actually.
When I owned a bookstore in downtown Calgary
back in medieval times, I had a little BDSM section
in with the sex books. Surprisingly, the section
had some of the crappiest sales of any section...
.... except for Story of O, which I misfiled there,
as well as in literature in translation...
I think the world is ready for more
mainstream book publishing on kink topics
... really ready....
but predicting book sales has lead
smarter wiser richer men than me to ruin....
There's been little good writing on the emotional/relational
side of S/M, which is amazing considering
the incomparably deep emotional shit
that flows like the Amazon river through
the consensual cruelty, pain, fear, disgust, outrage,
humiliation, abuse, and outright damage
that can be such a wicked delight.............
I'd like to put in a good word for Erotic Surrender,
which is spotty .... her scenarious and ideas for
scenes are kinda pedestrian .....
but when ya search thru that crap
for the odd moments of personal revelation
and emotional vulnerability...
....... there's moments of pure golden writing there......
DD, a bookish old goat....
PS.... I wonder if the person
who said erotic surrender had no sadism in it
has worn fierce excruciating clamps
in quite the way described in that book
(I'm trying to remember.... it's been a long time since I read it...)
