BDSM

is a by-product of a culture in which romance stories and pornography teach men to be sexually violent, and teach women to enjoy it.

Wagner argues that BDSM is a by-product of a culture in which romance stories and pornography teach men to be sexually violent, and teach women to enjoy it. Although she initially enjoyed being an 'out' masochist in a lesbian BDSM relationship, Jonel's long-term partner eventually turned abusive. This experience led her to the conclusion that BDSM was simply a cover for violence. As she states, ...all this [talk] about consensual sex, changing roles back and forth, safe words, etc. ad nauseum—is, to my mind, just a cover that encourages women to be violent. Sadomasochism is violence.53
