Again, just a couple of observations:

Faibhar:

the idea posed here is NOT that intelligence breeds kinkiness, but that there seems to be a correlation between intelligence, level of education and willingness to participate in kinky behaviour. The sources of kinky behaviour - which as has been pointed out by others is not exclusively BDSM, but could involve quite a few different practices - is a whole different subject.
I have not undertaken any research of my own in this other than the poll, which is not scientifically relevant in any way shape or form.

Curtis:

Bear in mind that a review is a highly subjective response to someone else's work. There are no standard criteria in use on this site or anywhere. For example: one reviewer in this morning's newspaper gave "Scary Movie" 3 stars out of 5, the reviewer in the other morning paper gave it 1 star out of five. The important thing about a review, from the writer's side and the reviewer's side, is to offer constructive criticism. Gushing with praise (as has been done on several threads here) or flaming someone (again which has been done here) are unreliable as reviews. The truth is probably somewhere in between. As Time Magazine's study has pointed out.
The choices therefore for the writer are: (1) do I try to be all things to all the people? (2) do I try to please some of the people and accept that others willnot like my work? (3) do I write purely for my own ego and to hell with what people think?
I would suggest the truth lies somewhere in between ...
