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.

These types of discussions are why I love this comm so much. I don't really have anything to add to the topic conversation except to agree with everyone and thanks the OP for bringing this up. Seriously, you could write a huge social analysis of LKH's work.

Somebody ought to write a thesis. ^_^
