The Psychology of BDSM
The Psychology of BDSM
People are drawn to BDSM for various reasons, but research has yet to find any link with mental illness, including paraphilic desorders. One study found that 68% of people have had at least one BDSM related fantasy or behavior, with 22% reporting fantasy with no behaviors or actions. That’s a lot of people thinking about some kinky stuff!
Power is often an integral part of sexual dynamics. BDSM practices create an avenue to explore these in a safe and controlled manner. Research has shown that people who engage in BDSM have lower levels of benevolent sexism, rape myth acceptance, and victim blaming. There is also evidence of activation of both the pleasure and pain areas of the brain, as well as increases in arousal and decreases in stress.
