So, would you say nurture or nature?

If we assume that 'all that has been thought out has had a basis to warrant that thought', then no single individual is creative enough to make forth a concept or appreciating a concept without it having intrigued him in the first place or having been derived from other concepts wich relate to it.

White Wolf could not create without basing themselves on a concept that was taken from folklore of which it is derived from, and thus no individual could stumble upon said idea without any connecting concepts helping them out. Since most types of pleasures come from biological synapses of "pleasurable stimuli", and since given subject could be mainly psychological as it passes to the brain and not as a physical stimuli, then one would guess that that pleasurable stimuli that some would call BDSM is created by a link to some pleasurable experience that had involved something relating to BDSM. Consequently, I would perceive it as being nurture.

Of course, if we conceive that nature dictates nurture, then there would be no conflict?

Psychology never having been my strong subject,
my 6 cents probably aren't worth much.
