Silke - many aspects of the BDSM community put a negative value on marriage, sexuality, purity and things of that nature. This community basically stretches every boundary possible. That is why keeping true to my faith as I practice BDSM within my own marriage is a difficult road. Biggest thing for me is trying to remain focussed and steering clear of all the sub-cultures of BDSM (i.e., pictures, stories, chat rooms, etc.)

This is where my past experiences and many years of influence make it hard for me to remain focussed. I've experienced first-hand all aspects of this community before I commited my life to Christ Jesus. I know how much my flesh enjoys the pictures/images of BDSM and the many stories generated from some talented imaginations. I need to practice self-reservation and steer clear of these things if I plan on not stumbliing.

I guess I opened a huge can of worms because there is so much I want to say but unsure how to do so. Hope I shed a little light on the topic.

-- I will definitely check out the christian BDSM groups online when I get a chance. May prove to be an effective resource.
