One of the most interesting things I found was a survey of therapists experienced in dealing with BDSM found that people who engage in d/s seem to be generally smarter than many other groups of people.

They've obviously never read our "Politics" forum.

Thank you for offering constructive criticism. It is appreciated. To that end, do you have any suggestions for adding things?

Things like:

"Have good relationship with parents"
"Tend to be self-confident"
"Don't let others walk over you"
"Parents in a equal power relationship (as far as you could tell)"
"No trauma/molestion in personal history or event happened after the interest in masochism became clear"

I don't think that your poll, as it stands, is enough for an essay. Have you considered looking into munches and play parties in your area and attending them? Plenty of us are happy to "blast away" at the myths concerning what we do so you could probably get some interviews.

Hello,

I've been doing some research on the psychology of masochism for an abnormal psychology class. I found so many cool and interesting articles in psychology magazines on the subject that have been interesting and thought provoking! Even as somebody in to the lifestyle I found that I had to adjust my opinions and conceptions of BDSM. One of the most interesting things I found was a survey of therapists experienced in dealing with BDSM found that people who engage in d/s seem to be generally smarter than many other groups of people.

So, have at it and thank you in advance for responding to it!

Thank you!

Have you sent this poll to your college's IRB and gotten approval? Because that IS a federal requirement.
