The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the sexual behaviors, sexual functioning of "bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism, masochism" (BDSM) practitioners.
The study group (n=141) consisted of 65 women and 76 men who defined themselves as BDSM practitioners included in the study with the snowball technique through websites that are accessible on online BDSM groups. A control group (n=167) who stated that they were not BDSM practitioners was also recruited through websites. Sociodemographic and Sexual Behavior Evaluation Form and Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) were used online to gather data.
No significant difference was found between BDSM practitioners and controls with regard to ASEX scores. Yet, in women, the mean ASEX score was lower in BDSM practitioners than in the control group whereas in men, the mean ASEX score was higher in the BDSM practitioners.
Gender might be an important factor in terms of sexual functioning in cisgender BDSM practitioners. Awareness on problems of this sexual minority should be increased.
本研究的目的是获取有关“捆绑束缚、支配臣服、施虐、受虐”(BDSM)从业者的性行为和性功能的信息。
研究组(n = 141)由65名女性和76名男性组成,他们通过在线BDSM群体可访问的网站,采用滚雪球技术将自己定义为BDSM从业者纳入研究。还通过网站招募了一个声称自己不是BDSM从业者的对照组(n = 167)。使用社会人口统计学和性行为评估表以及亚利桑那性体验量表(ASEX)在线收集数据。
BDSM从业者和对照组在ASEX评分方面没有发现显著差异。然而,在女性中,BDSM从业者的平均ASEX评分低于对照组,而在男性中,BDSM从业者的平均ASEX评分更高。
在顺性别BDSM从业者的性功能方面,性别可能是一个重要因素。应该提高对这个性少数群体问题的认识。
