Curious about this for awhile...
It's been said in many places by different people that LKH's portrayal of the BDSM lifestyle is off. I know a bit more than just the basics - ah, the joys of reading - and can sort of inherently pick up that something isn't right with her depiction, but I can't really articulate it. I was just curious to hear from those who participate in the lifestyle, what they personally find offensive, frustrating, or just headdesk-worthy about LKH's portrayal. Perhaps they can help make it clearer to me why it feels amiss.

And then came NiC and...
As for all the rest? It's hit me just reading this why some of my characters respond the way they do. I have Fibro. I deal with pain on a daily basis. It makes sense I'd have at least a couple of alters who have strange relationships with pain and control of pain. It's been thought out in my unconscious and when I wrote it out to try and see what I was thinking it made sense for me. I'm just glad it made sense for them when I was first hit with it.
But that all involves a level of self examination I don't think happens with LKH.

I, as well, create characters for stories who handle pain in various ways. Most of them can take it in spades. Why? It's part of my life. I seriously can't remember a time when I didn't have pain.
