How Story of O Gave Rise to BDSM

 

I do write a lot about BDSM, advocating male domination and female submission. However often I do get hostile response from people who do not fully understand what it is. Some imagine something like Whoreson Junior from Witcher III, others saw 50 Shades of Gray and think it's that, some remember Marquis de Sade and his books, yet others think it's something else entirely.

To dissipate these and other such misconceptions I present to you where it really has begun: Story of O. A book and an old year 1975 movie gave rise to this obscure but dedicated subculture. This movie is as close as one could get towards the core idea of BDSM. 

That is what BDSM is. Yes, there are scary leather gears, restrains and other tools, but ultimately, it's about possession and devotion. Man owns woman and she devotes herself to him. It's not 50 Shades mild, nor its Whoreson depraved. It's not for everyone, but to those who find unique fulfilment in such things. 

Even so many years later, it's still capturing the psychology of people in BDSM rather well. Doms are not deranged, psychotic or chaotic, but they are proud, willful, know what they want and take it whenever they want. Their women could either obey them unquestionably or leave for good to never return. Women are humble, subservient, objectified and used however their owners please. Women live life, rigidly controlled by rules and desires of men.

I certainly recommend this movie for those interested in BDSM so that they know what it is about.

However general population should watch it as well. There is nothing scary about it. It's just a lifestyle certain people find compelling. Whether it's for you or not, you should not freak out when someone else does these things in private.

I too want to own a slave girl one day. The much the same way Sir Stephen owns O. It's not 100% the same as I would do, but its possibly closest to my vision compared to other fiction. Certainly, compare to other movies or mainstream perception of how relationship should be, Bondage Game and the way Sougo treats women in Gintama are also close.

I will again repeat my recommendation to watch it. Watch it yourself and see if that is for you or not.
