Fantasmo said;"...An estimated (the exact figures don't matter, it's just a magnitude) 97% of the members are lurkers (not posting anything), they don't care what they get, as long as they get something... Those are interested in pictures and texts only anyway.
>=2% are active participants (artists and contributing members) who are not into any real-live BDSM play
Only <=1% (1/3rd of the active members at best) are not only fantasizing but also to a certain extent living their fetish / BDSM and potentialy would like to discuss it or at least read about experiences of others that could be useful if not even instrumental in being able to safely enact one or the other fantasy....
I think it's a good analisys, but how reconcile these different positions,all the more
so since that an enormous majority is only here for fun and fantazy?
And , as you said :
But discussing any real BDSM activities (like "how to..." / "is this or that dangerous") is a slippery slope.
I think it's an interesting question, but difficult to resolve; may be it's better than
rules are clears...?
