Normalization of BDSM Is Underway

“Love is love!” according to the slogan. This means all forms of sexual gratification are equal in their supreme importance. From this, it follows that fetishes like sadomasochism are as sacred to the liberal establishment as sodomy. Sure enough:

In a new study published in the Journal of Sex Research, researchers have mapped the intricate journey of individuals engaging in Bondage/Discipline, Domination/Submission, and Sadism/Masochism (BDSM), highlighting the diverse paths and motivations behind these practices. …

There has been a growing awareness and acceptance of BDSM as a non-pathological part of social and cultural activities, but there’s been a lack of detailed understanding of the motivations, experiences, and demographics of those involved in these practices. By conducting this study, researchers aimed to provide insights into the prevalence and nature of BDSM participation, breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions.

As we learned during the top-down normalization of homosexuality, this process is called “destigmatization.”

“While depictions within popular culture have reduced stigma experienced by those who engage in BDSM, it is still often looked at as taboo and even criminal in some regions of the world,” said study author Bryce Westlake, an associate professor at San Jose State University.

Your tax dollar helps erase this taboo via publicly funded universities like Westlake’s. When utopia has been achieved, only moral decency will be taboo.

He makes his mission clear:

“My interest comes from a desire to provide a more well-rounded depiction of BDSM to help further reduce stigma and describe BDSM beyond sex.”

As with LGBTism, there is a whole lifestyle to be promoted.

The erudite scholars…

…took extra steps to ensure that the language used in the survey was inclusive and sensitive to various cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identities.

The inclusive and sensitive survey yielded unsurprising results:

A notable portion of participants … viewed BDSM as an essential part of their identity.

This means if you don’t affirm their warped activities, you are a bigot who hates them for who they are. It also means they will soon have official protected status, like homosexuals, pedophiles, morbidly obese people, and potheads.

The study also unsurprisingly found…

…transgender individuals often beginning private BDSM participation earlier.

Sexual sickness is fungible. Love is love, after all.

As an Expert in a position to tell us what we should regard as normal, Westlake explains why mixing violence, coercion, and humiliation with sex is healthy and good:

“BDSM also functions to help build stronger connections between romantic partners, including increased trust, intimacy, communication, and needs/wants fulfillment.”

The study opens the door to further taxpayer-subsidized research. Squeals Westlake:

“[W]e have plenty of additional questions that we will be exploring over the next couple of months. One is the role of pornography in initially learning about BDSM…”

If universities don’t offer degrees in pornography yet, it is only a matter of time.

The main purpose, in keeping with the broader liberal agenda, is to prove that sexual depravity is good:

“Another [aspect to explore] is the benefits participants experience engaging in BDSM, including relief from chronic pain, coping with mental health difficulties, processing prior trauma, and self-growth/esteem/confidence.”

BDSM is so good for you, it ought to be mandatory. At the very least, bondage gear, torture devices, and sessions with a dominatrix should be covered by ObamaCare.

As demonstrated recently, the US federal government is a clogged toilet overdue to be flushed. The same holds for academia.
