Admit it, you’re curious about kink. Maybe you saw Fifty Shades of Grey, or someone bought you Shibari rope as a wedding gift that now sits in a drawer, sad and unused. Well, dust that shit off and get busy learning knots, because science has stepped up once again, this time correlating the virtues of BDSM to a confident, fulfilling sex life.
British-style rag Dazed got their hands on a study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, that paints a very positive portrait of people who engage in non-vanilla sex and play. In the abstract “Are Role and Gender Related to Sexual Function and Satisfaction in Men and Women Practicing BDSM?” researchers conclude that “BDSM participants (especially dominant and switch groups) appear to be more satisfied and less concerned about sexuality than the general population.”
