93 Pounds of Lingerie

Apologies if I sound a little pedantic here, but a question. What does some obviously deranged individuals criminal interest in women’s underwear have to do with Bondage Domination and Sado-masochism?

You are presuming a limitation I’ve never intended. I’m fascinated by people whose fetishes overpower them.

Its your blog, and obviously have the right to do with it as you please.

My concern is specifically the ‘fetishes’ of sadomasochism, domination, and bondage. I would point out that what used to be known as a fetishes is now properly called a paraphila. Paraphila include necrophilia, and paedophilia, sexual sadism and sexual masochism. Obviously this person had a specific paraphila for collecting woman’s underwear, but there seems to me to be a deliberate blurring of boundaries here. For example I read a BDSM ‘educator’ who ruled authorativly that if anyone has ever use cream as part of their sex life this was proof that they are a into BDSM. For many years now BDSM has been championing what it describes as the kinky or fetishists. The reason I think they do this is if they can present someone who has an unhealthy interest in collecting woman’s under ware as being kinky, (and which man would deny having an interest in women and underwear) then its not to big a leap to present someone who hurts another person for sexual fulfilment as not being so unacceptable.

Why do they do this? If they are able to paint such innocuous practices as being sadistic, then they are able to gain some credence for their particular abuses. It’s a classic double bind situation, ‘how dare you criticise me for my abuse, when you are an abuser yourself’
