Introduction: The State of Our Knowledge on SM 1
Charles Moser, PhD, MD
Peggy J. Kleinplatz, PhD
Sadomasochism and the Social Sciences: A Review
of the Sociological and Social Psychological Literature 17
Thomas S. Weinberg, PhD
Recent literature about sadomasochism in Sociology and Social Psychology is re¬
viewed. Studies include survey research and questionnaire studies, content analy¬
ses, ethnographic research, and critical essays. The current state of our
knowledge of sadomasochism, including its defining characteristics, sadomaso¬
chistic identities, and sadomasochistic subcultures is briefly summarized.

Differences and Similarities Between Gay and Straight
Individuals Involved in the Sadomasochistic Subculture 41
Niklas Nordling, MPsych
N. Kenneth Sandnabba, PhD
Pekka Santtila, PhD
Laurence Alison, PhD
Results from some new analyses as well as a selective review of the results of six
empirical studies on a self-identified sample of sadomasochistically-oriented indi¬
viduals {22 women and 162 men) with an emphasis on differences between gay and
straight participants are presented. The gay male respondents seemed to be better
educated, to hold white-collar occupations and to be more sadistically oriented.
The gay male respondents became a ware of their sadomasochistic preferences and
had their first experiences at an older age. They showed a preference for leather
outfits, anal intercourse, rimming, dildos, wrestling, special equipment and uni¬
form scenes, and the straight male respondents for verbal humiliation, mask and
blindfold, gags, rubber outfits, cane whipping, vaginal intercourse, cross dressing.
and straitjackets, and different role plays except for uniform scenes. Four separate
sexual themes were identified: hypermasculinity; administration ami receiving of
pain; physical restriction and psychological humiliation. Gay male participants
showed a preference for hypermasculinity and straight men respondents for humil¬
iation. The number of lesbian respondents was too low to draw am definite conclu¬
sions. Differences between gay and straight male sadomasochists in the present
sample were found. Clearly, sadomasochism cannot be thought of as a unitary
phenomenon: People who identify themselves as sadomasochists mean different
things by these identifications.

Sexual Spanking, the Self, and the Construction of Deviance 59
Rebecca F. Plante, PhD
Using interview and observation data from a group of consensual, heterosexual
adults interested in sexual spanking, 1 describe members sexual stories and
stigma neutralization techniques. Sexual stories are situated within broader cul¬
tural contexts that help individuals construct meaning and identities. I describe
group members stories about their initial interest in sexualized spankings. Focusing
on a specific event at one party, I show how these stories help to create scene-spe¬
cific stigma neutralization techniques. Participants strive to differentiate themselves
from sadomasochistic activities and to create normative behavioral expectations
within their scenes. I conclude that all of this can ultimately be viewed as part of the
complex sexual adaptations that people make.

24/7 SM Slavery 81
Peter L. Dancer, PhD
Peggy J. Kleinplatz, PhD
Charles A. Moser, PhD, MD
This study describes the nature of 24/7 SM slavery as practiced within the SM
(sadomasochistic) commmunity. Tliese SM participants, who attempt to live
fiill-tane in owner-slave roles, represent a small proportion of those with SM inter¬
ests. SM slaves have not been studied systematically to determine if and how they dif¬
fer from other SM practitioners. An online questionnaire was used to obtain
responses from individuals who self-identified as slaves. A total of] 46 respondents
participated, 53% female and 47% male, ranging in age from 18 to 72. We explored
the depth of their relationships, how well they approximated slavery, and how
their relationships were stmctured to maintain distinct roles. Data showed that in
long-term SM slave relationships, a power differential exists which extends beyond
time-limned SM or sexual interactions. Owners and slaves often use common, daily
life experiences or situations, such as the completion of household chores, money
management, and morning or evening routines, to distinguish and maintain their re¬
spective roles. In addition, contrary to the perception of total submission, results re¬
vealed that slaves exercise free will when it is in their best interests to do so. These
relationships were long-lasting and satisfying to the respondents.

Mainstreaming Kink: The Politics of BDSM Representation
in U.S. Popular Media 103
Margot D. Weiss, PhD
This article explores nonpractitioners understandings of and responses to the in¬
creasingly mainstream representation of BDSM in U.S. media, focusing on the
film Secretary (Shainberg, 2002). Survey, focus group, and interview data indi¬
cate that popular images of SM promote the acceptance and understanding of
sexual minorities through two mechanisms: acceptance via normalization, and
understanding via pathologizing. Rather than challenging the privileged status of
normative sexuality, these mechanisms reinforce boundaries between protected/
privileged and policed/pathological sexualities. Instead of celebrating increased
representation, this article argues that political energy might be directed toward the
desire that the popularity of BDSM representations signifies: the desire to encounter
authentic, undisciplined, and noncommodified representations that would transgress
the sexual norms of American postmodern consumer culture.

Understanding Sadomasochism: An Empirical Examination
of Four Perspectives 133
Patricia A. Cross, PhD
Kim Matheson, PhD
Three studies assessed current understandings of sadomasochism (SM). In Study I
questionnaires testing four academic views ofSM were administered to individu¬
als who self-defined as involved in SM. The psychoanalytic, psychopathology/
medical model, radical feminist and escape-from-self perspectives were not sup¬
ported. Study 2 examined virtual sadomasochism as a source of information
about sadomasochists in the real life world. Cluster analyses indicated that
real-life and virtual sadomasochists share unique sexual proclivities. Study 3 ex¬
amined an alternative view that identifies power as the commodity of importance
in SM play. Content analysis of online SM encounters indicated that both top
and bottom role-players used several specific techniques to create a power dif¬
ferential. These studies suggest that, contrary to many academic theories, power,
and not the giving and receiving of pain, is at the core ofSM.

The Spanner Trials and the Changing Law
on Sadomasochism in the UK 167
Chris White, PhD
In the United Kingdom in 1989 a group of gay men who had been engaging in con¬
sensual SM activities were put on trial and found guilty of assault. The
dominants/tops were charged with assault, and the men who participated in the ac¬
tivities as bottoms or submissives were convicted of aiding and abetting assaults
upon themselves. This article discusses these Spanner trials-as they came to be
called-and the issues of consent and privacy on which they were argued. UK and
potentially European law are being subjected to pressure for redefinition as a
result of the Spanner case, as SM practitioners are beginning to experience the im¬
plications and fallout from the prosecutions. While there have been proposals to re-
form the laws about wlutt has been deemed self-destructive and socially dangerous
behavior, little has changed to date. The story of the prosecutions and appeals, and
the pressures for a new legislative approach to decriminalize consensual SM, will be
situated in the context of public interest claims to control the private actions of individ¬
uals in the interest of public health. Differences in interpretation that occur when gay
men are involved as compared to heterosexual couples will also be discussed.

Negotiating Limits: The Legal Status of SM
in the United States 189
Robert B. Ridinger, MA, MLS
This paper reviews the origin of the concept of sadomasochism and its treatment by
the American legal system. Relevant court cases and corollary issues such as the
rights to privacy and sexual freedom, child custody, domestic violence, and employ¬
ment discrimination are profiled. Organizations created by the gay, lesbian and het¬
erosexual leather communities to create accurate public awareness of the SM
subculture, and their programs of education and activism, are discussed and pros¬
pects for effective legislative change evaluated.

Discrimination of SM-Identified Individuals 217
Susan Wright, MA
The belief that sadomasochism (SM) is violence or abusive behavior has resulted in
harassment, physical attach, and discrimination against SM-identified individuals.
Historically, they were often opposed by self-identified feminists. One reason the
women who practiced SM were targeted was the official opposition to sadomaso¬
chistic practices promulgated by the National Organization for Women (NOW).
Current statistics of incidents of discrimination, harassment and physical attacks
against SM-identified individuals and SM groups are compiled by the National
Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF).

SM (Sadomasochistic) Interests as an Issue
in a Child Custody Proceeding 233
Marty Klein, PhD
Charles Moser, PhD, MD
This article describes a child custody case centered on the fitness of the mother, who
was involved in an SM relationship with her live-in boyfriend. Although the investi¬
gation confirmed that no child abuse had occurred, that the child was unaware of the
mother s sexual interests, that there were no incidents of inappropriate sexual activ¬
ities in front of the minor, and that the child was doing well, the court severely limited
the mother s visitation and custody arrangements and ended her alimony. Practitio¬
ners of alternative sexual lifestyles have not fared well in child custody hearings, and
this case is no exception. Tlie present case indicates how the family court system can
be biased against sexual minorities in general and SM practitioners in particular. In
addition, the present case demonstrates how the DSM diagnostic criteria an be mis¬
used in dealing with alternative lifestyle practitioners. Recommendations for further
education of the court and for future research are made.

The ICD Diagnoses of Fetishism and Sadomasochism 243
Odd Reiers0l, PhD
Svein Skeid
In this article we discuss psychiatric diagnoses of sexual deviation as they appear in
the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), the internationally accepted
classification and diagnostic system of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Namely, we discuss the background of three diagnostic categories: Fetishism (F65.0),
Fetishistic Transvestism (F65.1), and Sadomasochism (F65.5). Pertinent background
issues regarding the above categories are followed by a critique of the usefulness of di¬
agnosing these phenomena today. Specifically, we argue that Fetishism, Fetishistic
Transvestism, and Sadomasochism, also labeled Paraphilia or perversion, should not
be considered illnesses. Finally, we present the efforts of an initiative known as
ReviseF65, which was established in 1997, to abolish these diagnoses.

Psychotherapeutic Issues with Kinky Clients:
Clinical Problems, Yours and Theirs 281
Margaret Nichols, PhD
People whose sexual repertoire includes BDSM, fetish, or other kinky practices have
become increasingly visible, on the Internet, in the real world, and in psychothera¬
pists offices. Unfortunately, the prevailing psychiatric view of BDSM remains a
negative one: These sexual practices are usually considered paraphilias, i.e., de
facto evidence of pathology. A different, affirming view of BDSM is taken in this pa¬
per. After defining BDSM and reviewing iommon misconceptions, a variet (if issues
the practitioner will face are described. These include problems of counter-
transference, of working with people with newly emerging sexual identities, working
with spouses and partners, and discriminating between abuse and sexual play.

Investigating Bias in Psychotherapy with BDSM Clients 301
Keely Kolmes, PsyD
Wendy Stock, PhD
Charles Moser, PhD, MD
There is a concern among consensual BDSM participants that they will receive bi¬
ased care from mental health professionals. Results are presented of an anony¬
mous Internet-based survey administered to both BDSM-identified individuals
who have received psychological care and to mental health professionals. The sur¬
vey included socio-demographic data and invited participants to write narrative
accounts of biased or culturally sensitive care, from which common themes were
identified. Mental health providers (N = 17) responded in fewer numbers than
those who identified as BDSM-identifiedparticipants (N = 175). Descriptive char¬
acteristics of the sample will be discussed. Themes from the qualitative data may
be useful in informing the future development of guidelines for practitioners to
work more responsibly with clients who identify as members of this sexual minority
group.

Learning from Extraordinary Lovers: Lessons from the Edge 325
Peggy J. Kleinplatz, PhD
This paper discusses lessons about sexuality and eroticism gleaned from those who
engage in extraordinary sex, even though such relationships have typically been
classified as pathological. What can clinicians learn from those who seek and at¬
tain uncommon sexual relations? Such individuals sexual epistemology, goals,
understanding of the nature and spectrum of sexual and erotic relations, communi¬
cation strategies and outcome criteria can provide valuable lessons for those
who treat sexual problems or aim to overcome sexual mediocrity. For example,
while traditional sex therapy often focuses on what is on the surface, some SMpar¬
ticipants are interested in the meanings that lie at a deeper level. Whereas conven¬
tional clinicians may focus on enabling particular sexual acts (especially
heterosexual intercourse), SM participants are more apt to be concerned with the
varied spectrum of underlying purposes motivating these acts. Whereas many cou¬
ples are willing to settle for merely functional sex, SM practitioners may be more
interested in contact that necessitates intense, erotic connection; sophisticated
communication of subtle differences in intent; and eventuates in profound
self-knowledge and transcendent levels of intimacy. Illustrative case examples are
provided.
