Ok, cool! That is kind of how I've always viewed S&M, too. In my book, if it's consensual (and you're not breaking laws), then pretty much anything is "healthy". Today, for some reason, I got a wild hair and looked it up...to find that it was labeled (by the sites that I saw) as a disorder. I couldn't help but disagree when I saw the word disorder, but then I thought "given my background, maybe I'm not the best person to decide"; so I checked.

Thanks so much for responding!
