My taste for BDSM lies solidly in a cathartic, transcendental mindset. I like using it for personal growth and study; I love the experience of gaining tolerance and irreverence. I love the deliberated application of sensation typically associated with danger, the discipline present for all parties simply found in studying safety and communicating intent.

In theory, BDSM is what I want all relationships to be: fun, honest, intimate, growth-oriented, and on purpose.

Of course, every community or lifestyle comes with the demographic that fails to fulfill the ideal, and which in fact serves as an absolute trainwreck of a warning, but aren't fun, honest experiences which cause us to grow as people exactly what we should be seeking together?
