What % of people participate in or think about S&M activities.?

To date we don't have 'thought police' who can read your innermost thoughts, so how would we possibly know how many have thought about it?\n\nParticipants, I would suspect very few, probably equal to the number of children who were abused at an early age.\n\nThe closest I've seen to a definitive answer is this:\n\nCertainly, there are people who engage in D&S and S/M activities for whom it is a problem or the expression of a problem--but so also there are people who cannot engage in anything but ordinary penis-vagina intercourse for whom [sex] is a problem or the expression of a problem. If someone is really the sort of person who is likely to become a serial killer, he probably won't be talking about it and he probably won't be in so relatively conscious a relationship as S&M. He'll much more likely be repressed or out there doing mayhem.

I agree with you!  Why are there so many... There is a certain pride to doing things...If your'e going to do something, do it right.  Most people don't seem to care.

I would gues that its around 68 %. \n\nOver half the people I have met have admitted to taking illegal drugs at some point in their lives and a lot of them still do.

There live about 6 billion people on the Earth, so it's about 1/6 of the worlds population. Don't know how much % that is... sorry...

Amazingly enough there seems to be more Subbie sort of men than there are women. I can't even tell you how many men have sent me pix of themselves in the french maid costume (not pretty) or as a school girl (disturbing). I'm personally not into it but some men really seem to like it.

I've got no issues about that particular topic. I'd guess that women are less likely to do it at a given opportunity than men are, but I think it's equally healthy for both men and women. It not only allows for personal exploration, but can be a very natural release. As for the difference between the percentage of women who mastrubate versus the percentage of men, I suspect there is a significant difference and that the reason for the difference is a combination of societal expectation, religious belief, and general differences in sex drives.  Good luck with your project... sounds like an interesting class!!

When you write\n "a lot of(men in general)"\n\nI certainly hope you don't think those men are the majority. Because the majority of men I know wouldn't think of that.\n\nI once hear a couple of guys joking about going to vegas and hunting up a brothel. I guess to them that would be a thrill. Sad, but they didn't have the understanding of how a relationship should work. They were only interested in the pleasure aspect....
