Break out the
nipple clamps and furry handcuffs, boys!
According to
a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, people
who engage in kinky sexual practices involving such activities as bondage,
discipline, and sadomasochism may actually be more mentally healthy than folks
who don't. Say what?
The new
results reveal that on a basic level, BDSM practitioners don't appear to be
more troubled than the general population. They were more extroverted, more
open to new experiences and more conscientious than vanilla participants; they
were also less neurotic, a personality trait marked by anxiety. BDSM
aficionados also scored lower than the general public on rejection sensitivity,
a measure of how paranoid people are about others disliking them.
People in the
BDSM scene reported higher levels of well-being in the past two weeks than
people outside it, and they reported more secure feelings of attachment in
their relationships, the researchers found.
Fun fact:
Those in the dominant role had even higher scores than submissives and
versatile kinksters. Does this mean that leather daddy powertops are the
healthiest dudes on the gay sex spectrum? Hot.
