Meanwhile, American scientists have found ten more rather curious facts about BDSM!

According to the study, in the XVIII century throughout Europe there were many brothels that actively provided the services of all kinds of corporal punishment: flogging, bondage and other favorite disciplines.

Adherents of BDSM are extroverts and are more open to new experiences, sensations and opportunities. They are not afraid to experiment and have an adventurous nature.

Contrary to popular myth, the desire to dominate does not at all mean a pathological tendency to sadism or even criminal inclinations.

Passion for this subculture requires both partners to have a set of quite serious skills and boundless trust in each other.

71% of BDSM lovers boldly say what they want in bed to their partner. Of course, this is extremely important for a healthy relationship and getting full pleasure.

56% of BDSM supporters openly share fantasies with a partner. And right! No matter how difficult they are, you can and should voice them to your partner.

73% of the respondents, alas, said that they had never participated in such experiments. It’s a pity!

Among BDSM participants, only 17% use a stop word to immediately stop the game, which is quite unexpected and even unsafe.

Whipping is a favorite discipline for 55% of women, but men enjoy it only 50%.

75% of women would prefer to play the role of a submissive slave, and only 8% expressed a desire to dominate. Among men, 48% like to dominate and 33% are not averse to obey. And men change roles more often, there were 18% of them, and slightly less women – 16%.
