Excellent article. Now to make sure it gets even more readers than Matt Smith's ugly portrayal to reverse public opinion. Perhaps you could send this to the idiots who cut off federal funding to Kink.com and our state Senators and Representatives, Princess?
I agree completely with everything Rachael says. I have watched (ahem) my share of kink.com's product, and David Steinberg's article highlights very well the things I love most about it--that you get to watch torture based pornography that isn't tainted by doubts/concerns as to the conditions of the shoot. It is telling and refreshing that Public Disgrace (et al.) is so transparent about who's truly in control of the scene, and I especially enjoy the fun contrast between Princess Donna's smirk just as she's zapping someone's butt-plug, and how tenderly she treats her playthings when they need it.

A brilliant, informed, and compassionate essay contrasting the differences between abuse and consensual bdsm expressions. Of course the fact that you, Princess, are featured so prominently and flatteringly should make the article a must read for any Kink.com fan.
Warm Hugs from the valley,
