FETISHWEEK: How Does the Public Perceive BDSM?

[info_box]FETISHWEEK covers the best BDSM News and most interesting fetish links of the last week.  I am actively accepting news, press releases, personality profiles, and review items for both FETISHWEEK and The Fetish Show.  I am particularly interested in topics related to BDSM/kink/fetish, but also alternative art/photography/modeling, sex, burlesque, fashion, relationships, events and more.  I can get your story out to a much wider audience in a way that is positive and respectful.  Contact me now:   dirk@dirkhooper.com [/info_box]

FETISHWEEK: How Does the Public Perceive BDSM?

Fifty Shades of Grey continues to top the news, and it seems like it will for the foreseeable future.  The tone of the articles has changed though.  The titillation has worn off and now people are choosing sides.  Lifestyle kinksters wonder if Fifty Shades is helping or hurting the scene (see A changing attitude to fetish or a double standard? below) and Christianity has decided to weigh in (see Why Pastors Should Respond to Fifty Shades of Grey).

Personally, I love the debate.  It’s in the open.  It’s being seriously discussed.  Most importantly, it beats the hell out of BDSM being the relegated to jokes and perceived as the sort of thing only “weirdoes” talk about.

What are you seeing and what are your thoughts on how the public perceives BDSM?  Leave me a comment below or contact me directly at: mailto:dirk@dirkhooper.com
