Here's an article about a study done in Australia.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/kinky-you-cant-beat-it/2007/04/16/1176696736407.html

Some of the findings mentioned are:

- no evidence that kinky people were abused as children more than the national average

- kinky men are happier than vanilla men

- queer people are kinkier than straight people

Thanks for that link.
I'm adding it to the US Topix feed so it gets some attention :)

I wonder what the actual study says especially where they speculate that more people do these things but do not label them as BDSM.

I think their conclusion is positive.

Thanks for sharing it, fiddlegirl.

They're actually just reporting on a tiny piece of a larger study
