i was curious to know if "pervert" and "BDSM" were the same. pervert, (deviant, deviate, degenerate) noun a person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior World Reference.com http://www.wordreference.com/definition/pervert BDSM is a term which describes a number of related patterns of human sexual behaviour. The major subgroupings are described in the abbreviation "BDSM" itself: bondage & discipline (B&D) domination & submission (D&S, Ds, D/s) sadism & masochism (or sadomasochism) (S&M, SM) Many of the specific practices in BDSM are those which, if performed in neutral or nonsexual contexts, are widely considered unpleasant, undesirable, or disadvantageous. For example, pain, physical restraint and servitude are traditionally inflicted on persons against their will and to their detriment. In BDSM, however, these activities are engaged in with the mutual consent of the participants, and typically for mutual enjoyment. Because of this, those who practice BDSM see it as entirely different from sexual abuse. This emphasis on informed consent and safety is also known as SSC (safe, sane and consensual), though others prefer RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink), which places the emphasis more on informed consent, and acknowledges the fact that all activities are potentially risky. encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/BDSM i guess it's close enough. Though there is some stigma to "pervert" in it's law-breaking aspects. However i know it's an honorific here. pinkpleasures
