BONDAGE and discipline may actually make men happier, according to the first national survey of Australians' fetish habits.
The new sex study has revealed that 2 per cent of Australian men and 1.4 per cent of women admit to enjoying dominance, submission and sadomasochism-type sex in the past year.
But researchers involved in the phone survey of 20,000 people say they expect many more Australians to be engaging in the practice but unwilling to label it BDSM (bondage, discipline, domination and submission).
“There will definitely be more men and women who have sexual tastes in this direction but won't call it this,” said Dr Juliet Richters, of the University of New South Wales.
“They might not like sex magazines but they just happen to like being tied up and spanked as part of foreplay.
“Ask them if they're into BDSM they'll say 'Yuck, no'.”
The survey results, to be presented at the World Association of Sexual Health congress in Sydney this week, give the first snapshot of Australians involved in bondage behaviour.
Wait ain't that like damned if you do damned if you say you don't???
