So, essentially, this is another thread where we have agreed to disagree??

So, BDSM TourGuide (can you get a shorter name, please??) when you were bored, did you turn to bdsm because it was somewhere in your nature, rather than turning to stamp collecting? Had you heard about it, and filed it away in the back of your mind? Did you see a movie - maybe 10 years earlier - and decide to follow up now? Or was it always a part of your nature, and the time to explore just happened to meet the time you happened to be bored??

I've always wondered why people seem to want to pidgeonhole these things. What's that saying? Infinite diversity in infinite combinations, or something like that!

whoops, just wanted to come back and clarify this. I addressed this to BDSM_TG because I have been talking to him over the last few days, not because I disagree with him or his ideas. I agree with everybody; I believe that everyone's motivations come from their own self. I never understood how anyone can separate nature/nurture; both completely influence who we are. Even siamese twins have differences!
All we can really do is hope to understand ourselves as much as possible, so we know why we do the things we do.
And that's my .02 worth.
