Interesting, but it makes sense that when there are two theories and neither proven, each of us will think the one that makes the most sense is the one that we could apply to ourself most easily. I have no history of abuse, physical or otherwise in my childhood... so for me I can't possibly imagine this to be an environment issue. For you it is the other way.

Oh, absolutely! Sorry, if I was unclear. I only meant to say that it made sense, in reply to the assertion that it was bull. I didn't intend to go so far as to say "It makes sense, so it must be true." That's a logical fallacy that I'm well aware of and try my damn hardest to avoid. We're all guilty of it, so thanks for calling me on it when it does happen!

I really think it's a crime against science that this hasn't been studied yet. I will rectify that once I reach grad school.

Good to hear! Things like this need to be studied properly, scientifically.

One point that was made in an article I was reading somewhere was that most of the theories about "abnormal" sexual practices were researched/developed by practicing psychologists. The subjects of study of course were their patients. If a person is seeking professional help, then it is because their BDSM tendencies, or whatever, are a problem to them. That means that the majority of BDSM practitioners who are quite happy with their lives come under the radar...leading to theories based on an unscientific sample.

I know this is kind of a sweeping claim, but I believe it may have some truth in it.
