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.

Lol, now that you're mentioning it, it is kind of funny... lol, poor Laurell. She might not understand that yaoi 'doesn't stand alone' as a research source. Not in terms of attitudes or gay sex. Might not be accurate but it sure is fun to read. *grins*

*Beavis-n-Butthead-esque snigger* "Stand alone"... ;P
