BDSM is an omnibus term covering a spectrum of activities within bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism relationships. To date, BDSM practitioners experience stigma due to a general unfamiliarity with the practice and marginalization of this type of sexual behavior. Destigmatization occurs partly through knowledge expansion and identification with the stigmatized group. In this study within the Belgian population, we aimed to characterize certain aspects of socioeconomic status and specific BDSM preferences of individuals with differing BDSM experience levels. We show that individuals who perform BDSM in a community setting (BDSM clubs, events. BDSM-CP) are generally higher educated, are significantly younger when first becoming aware of their inclination toward kink-oriented sex, and have a more strict BDSM role identity (Dom vs. Sub) than individuals who engage in BDSM-related activities in a private setting (BDSM-PP). This latter group in turn display a more pronounced Dom/Sub identification than individuals who only fantasize about the practice (BDSM-F). Our data indicate BDSM interest is a sexual preference already manifesting at early age, with role identification profiles becoming gradually more pronounced based on the practitioner's contextual experience.
BDSM 是一个涵盖了束缚/纪律、支配/服从和施虐/受虐关系中一系列活动的总称。迄今为止，BDSM 实践者由于对该实践的普遍不熟悉以及这种性行为的边缘化而受到污名化。去污名化部分是通过知识扩展和对被污名化群体的认同来实现的。在这项比利时人群的研究中，我们旨在描述具有不同 BDSM 经验水平的个体的某些社会经济地位和特定 BDSM 偏好特征。我们表明，在社区环境中（BDSM 俱乐部、活动、BDSM-CP）进行 BDSM 的个体通常受过更高的教育，当他们第一次意识到自己对癖好导向的性行为有倾向时，他们的年龄明显更小，并且具有更严格的 BDSM 角色认同（主/从），而在私人环境中（BDSM-PP）从事 BDSM 相关活动的个体则没有那么严格。后一组个体的主/从认同又比只幻想实践的个体更为明显（BDSM-F）。我们的数据表明，BDSM 兴趣是一种在早期就已经表现出来的性偏好，随着从业者的背景经验，角色认同的特征逐渐变得更加明显。
