Today, as I was catching up on my kinky reading materials, I came across this VERY interesting submission on a blog that evidently placed someone in very HOT water.

I thought this would be great to share.

It involves New York man Glenn Marcus and whether his bondage and discipline relationship with one of his voluntary "slaves" was truly voluntary.

If you would care to read the entire contents of that Supreme Court decision, you can view it here;

Domination is a state of mind, not a lifestyle.

For any in BDSM, it is quite a serious matter to consider the possibility that people who consent to be physically or mentally hurt can later act to press charges about that.

However, don't get too worried. It appears that this Dom did go beyond what most people in the BDSM community would say was consensual. For example, he appears to have used threats of revealing things about her to her family to control her when she (finally after a long time) decided she wanted to break their relation and contract.

I also wonder if it had been a Domina and not a Dom if the prosecutor would have picked this case. It is a lot harder to imagine a jury taking as negative a view of a woman who hurts a man consensually than the other way around, in light of the general emphasis on domestic violence as male on female violence.
