S&M is completely okay. I know a bunch of people who are into the whole BDSM scene. From the Quodoshka which places everything on a wheel, pain and please are at opposite ends of the spectrum. However, since there really isn't an end to a circle pain and pleasure are also right next to each other. So it is easy to have pain become pleasure and reverse.
i'm into it. I'm uber submisive. the guys I'm with find it funny that I'm that way, because I'm normally just one of the guys. I really into wrestling around with them and just having a good time kicking their butts at football and vedio games. but in the bedroom I'm just like a good little girl and I'll do whatever you want me to as long as you ask in a forceful voice.
Some people really enjoy it, and then there are some people like me, who might play a round with it a bit. By that I mean the occasional tying someone up or spanking someone. I think that watered down version of S&M is much more common that the all-out dominatrix version, but there are still plenty of people who love to get pretty wild and crazy with it. Like I said, whatever you like, right?
