BDSM Weblog » Media http://bdsmweblog.com My thoughts on, and experiences in, the BDSM lifestyle Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:06:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Positive S&M in the Media http://bdsmweblog.com/2009/01/15/positive-sm-in-the-media/ http://bdsmweblog.com/2009/01/15/positive-sm-in-the-media/#comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:24:58 +0000 Sammael http://bdsmweblog.com/?p=26 In the last post, I talked about how S&M oftentimes gets a bad reputation in popular media, whether it’s from the news story of a scene gone wrong, or the depiction of a psychopath disguised as a BDSM enthusiast in a television show.  However, there are also some positive and/or accurate depictions of S&M in popular media, too. So I thought I would talk about just a few of those here. Feel free to let me know about others in the comments.

The Secretary

This movie is a good depiction of how people can discover that they are into BDSM, and also how it can be a healthy tool to cope with and work through life trauma and mental disorders.


CSI – Lady Heather

Lady Heather is the most sensible example of a BDSM practitioner I’ve seen in popular media, bar none.  She represents a good example of the more ritualized aspects of the lifestyle.


Rome

This scene is just an incredibly hot example of rough sex, with overtones of submission and dominance.  It’s set in Rome, so of course this is real slavery and not roleplay, but salient nonetheless, I think.
