Mnemonic, you have some very good points, and I agree with you that older (sorry everybody, but I'm 20 and 40 years old is kinda old...) people generally do have a much more grounded sense in what their desires are in life. that's not to say that younger people can't have the same type of awareness, but I think it is fair to note that people with more experience in the subject of sexuality would be more equipped to deal with issues such as bdsm. As far as your last point/question about models on American porn sites that appear to be doing it only for the money, I believe that is an accurate observation for the average porn star. However, I would suggest to you that you should check out any of the sites put out there by CyberNet Entertainment LLC (hogtied.com, meninpain.com, whippedass.com, wiredpussy.com, waterbondage.com etc..). I am convinced that the women (and men) that star on those sites are truly into bdsm and the like, and also would be considered main stream attractive (in the slim sense).

Man, this thread. Talk about flogging a dead horse!!
