Worldwide, religion and the state have always sought to control people through laws which interfered with their sexuality. The romantic antics which gave our forefathers apoplexy seem tame now, and we can be sure that the things our current censors froth at the mouth over will appear equally absurd in the future. However, while acknowledging the stupidity of ever trying to legislate for human sexuality, we have to live in the real world. Bdsm can be risky, not just emotionally or physically, but because you can become the victim of ignorance and prejudice.The laws worldwide on human sexuality are so bizarre and uneven that it isn't possible to make any universal recommendations for your safety here, but we've put together some interesting links to articles, essays, and resources from both the USA and elsewhere about bdsm and the law which may help. |
