Hi there,

I'm a journalist at the Independent newspaper - before you log out in disgust please hear me out.

There's been a lot of coverage this week on BDSM because of the Max Moseley trial. Whatever your feelings are on the trial it's thrown up a lot of interesting questions regarding how the general public views BDSM.

In particular I'm not happy with the way BDSM - in my opinion a sexual activity between fully consenting adults - has been portrayed by some in the courts as some kind of peversion.

I would love to hear from enthusiasts to give their opinion on why they practice BDSM and what they think of the way people often view the community for a piece in the Independent at the end of this week.

It will give people the chance to explain to others why it is so popular and not a perversion. You don't have to give your name if you don't want to, but sex, age and occupation would be great.

Either post your opinions here or email them to me on j.taylor@independent.co.uk

This is not some scam or trick - I simply want to ge tthe BDSM community's views across. As a sign of trust I have posted my personal contact details below.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Many thanks,

Just had someone call to check if I was for real. If anyone else is unsure they're more than welcome to do likewise.
