Nonprostitute women in the sadomasochism (S/M) subculture have been believed to be rare. A sample of 45 women from the S/M subculture of whom 34 were determined to be nonprostitutes was obtained. This sample is compared with a similar sample obtained by Breslow et al. (1985). Despite methodological differences between the present investigation and that of Breslow et al., interstudy similarities permit conclusions about women in the S/M subculture in addition to the fact that they occur with sufficient frequency to study. The women become aware of their orientation as young adults and most are satisfied with it. They tend to be better educated and less often married than the general population. A majority designate themselves as heterosexual but a substantial minority are bisexual. They tend more often to prefer the submissive role but preference for the dominant role or no preference are found with considerable frequency. Oral sex and bondage are favored activities.
在虐恋（S/M）亚文化中的非妓女女性一直被认为很罕见。我们获取了一个来自虐恋亚文化的45名女性样本，其中34名被确定为非妓女。该样本与布雷斯洛等人（1985年）获取的类似样本进行了比较。尽管本研究与布雷斯洛等人的研究在方法上存在差异，但研究间的相似性使得我们除了得出虐恋亚文化中的女性出现频率足以进行研究这一事实外，还能对她们得出一些结论。这些女性在年轻时就意识到自己的性取向，并且大多数对此感到满意。与普通人群相比，她们往往受教育程度更高，结婚的频率更低。大多数人将自己认定为异性恋，但相当一部分人是双性恋。她们更倾向于扮演顺从的角色，但相当频繁地也会发现有人偏好主导角色或没有偏好。口交和束缚是她们喜欢的活动。
