This study aims to explore personal meanings related to the constructs 'sexuality' and 'sexual pleasure' in people who choose to write in forums and blogs about their own experience with Bondage and Discipline, dominance and submission, and Sadism and Masochism (BDSM). We carried out semi-structured online interviews with 343 people, of whom 50 (24 women and 26 men) claimed to practise or to have practised BDSM, in order to investigate participants' definitions of their sexual experiences and the construction of sexuality and sexual pleasure from their personal point of view and from the perspective of the opposite sex. Data were analysed according to Grounded Theory methodology. Questions concerning the 'normality' or the 'deviance' of participants' sexual practices were reflected in the answers of the majority of BDSM practitioners. Sexuality was construed as a 'game' with specific rules, and 'pleasure' was associated with extremely intense experiences. The relationship between the partners was considered fundamental, as it gave meaning to the sexual practice. Both dominant and dominated roles were found to be tightly linked to the possession and management of power between partners, which either confirms or reverses the social construction of traditional male and female roles.
本研究旨在探究那些选择在论坛和博客上撰写自身束缚与纪律、支配与臣服、施虐与受虐（BDSM）经历的人群中，与“性取向”和“性快感”概念相关的个人意义。我们对343人进行了半结构化在线访谈，其中50人（24名女性和26名男性）声称有过或曾有过BDSM行为，以调查参与者对其性经历的定义，以及从他们个人角度和异性角度对性取向和性快感的构建。数据依据扎根理论方法进行分析。关于参与者性行为“正常性”或“偏差性”的问题在大多数BDSM从业者的回答中有所体现。性取向被理解为一场有特定规则的“游戏”，“快感”与极其强烈的体验相关联。伴侣间的关系被视为至关重要，因为它赋予了性行为意义。主导和被主导角色都被发现与伴侣间权力的拥有和掌控紧密相连，这既证实了也颠覆了传统男女角色的社会建构。
