- 요약The term BDSM refers to sexual practices involving bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism and discipline, as well as a community that has developed around these practices. Owing to the breadth of sexual and psychological phenomena relevant to BDSM, there are ample opportunities to explore various intersecting phenomena. However, BDSM remains understudied. This exploratory dissertation examined BDSM as a practice, the relationship between BDSM and clinically relevant phenomena such as psychopathology and antisocial personality traits, and outstanding questions concerning intersecting facets of human sexuality through three component studies. Study 1 consisted of an exploratory factor analysis yielding evidence for factors of paraphilic and non-paraphilic sexual interests within BDSM, with the latter factor primarily consisting of behaviors relating to power dynamics. Further, Study 1's results suggest a distinction between paraphilic and non-paraphilic expressions of sadism and masochism, with sexual interest in mild-to-moderate amounts of pain potentially being secondary to sexual interest in power dynamics, rather than genuinely paraphilic interest in pain in itself. Study 2 examined the expression of paraphilic sexual interests within the BDSM community, as well as the associations of sexual interests that are especially violent or involve criminal behaviors. BDSM practitioners were generally more paraphilic than controls and were specifically more likely to have interests related to fetishism, masochism, sadism, and cross-dressing. Among male participants, masochism, but not sadism, was associated with a psychometric indicator of paraphilic interests. Participants who expressed sexual interest in several violent or criminal topics were more likely to have antisocial personality traits, but effect sizes were generally negligible. In Study 3 I examined and described personality characteristics and sexual behaviors of BDSM practitioners with special attention given to the role of sexual identity and orientation, and to BDSM practitioners who are or may be on the autism spectrum. Practitioners and non-practitioners were best differentiated by the former's greater openness to experiences and were otherwise similar regarding personality traits. A majority of the sample identified as sexual or gender minorities, but these practitioners generally had similar characteristics compared to straight and cisgender practitioners, with the greatest distinction being that straight men had the greatest preferences for dominance and sadism between all sub-groups. Autistic practitioners generally had similar personality characteristics as non-autistic practitioners but were disproportionately female, had significantly more paraphilic sexual interests, and were overwhelmingly masochistic (although not necessarily submissive). Taken together, these three component studies support the view of BDSM as a diverse amalgam of sexual interests and behaviors that cater to the needs of a wide range of practitioners.
