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.

Of course it's obvious to all of us but herself. All this talk of homosexuality, of kinky sex and deep down she's a conservative housewife who decided to write her deepest and most shameful fantasies. Too bad she doesn't actually seem to know much about BDSM and gay sex. And she's too stubborn to research so she just writes it as she thinks it is. But fantasy is not normally the same as reality... :)
