Hey everyone: I am new to this forum and I have a very serious question that I am having trouble with and it is this. I have this friend that is into BDSM and I have read that it can be a good outlet for people to explore their sexuality as long as it is done in a safe enviroment! However this woman has been abused all her life from when she was a baby all the way into her teens. She went through the type of Abuse that is verbal, mental, emotional and physical from her mother and what I am wondering is this. Has she been so conditioned through all the years as a child with the abuse she suffered at the hands of this woman that she is looking for that type of treatment now as an adult through BDSM because if she is, then she is doing this for all the wrong reasons.
