I was watching "I Love Lucy" reruns & has anyone else noticed how many spankings she gets? Some even look real

(I cut & paste 2 quotes)
Social Acceptance
Relating somewhat to that, do you tihnk BDSM et al will ever be socially acceptable here? Say about as acceptable as it is to be gay. I think there will always be conservative fraidy cats and that acceptance of any life style will never be total. But just because a few don't accept something doesn't mean it isn't accepted by most. Will this ever happen? Will sitcom stars ever joke about the whipping they got last night? Will schools educate children about proper tying techniques?
But the truth is, it's the folks in their forties, fifties and sixties who have a fucking clue about what's going on, people who look a lot less like supermodels and are much less concerned by that. (Perhaps because they are people past the prime years of a normal sexual appetite?) They're the real community, while the popular image of the community is the younger crowd, who just want to to buy it, sell it, and look cool around it.
