Some Light Validation (New! With statistics!)

[midwestyankee]

Recently, a report came out about some research from the Netherlands that found that the psychological profile of people who enjoy certain non-mainstream sex games is surprisingly positive. Read about it here.

Key quote:

“Our findings suggests that BDSM participants as a group are, compared with non-BDSM participants, less neurotic, more extroverted, more open to new experiences, more conscientious, yet less agreeable,” the researchers write. They add that females in the BDSM group had “more confidence in their relationships” and “a lower need for approval” than those in the mainstream sample."​

Discuss amongst yourselves.

I'm not sure where or how I found it, but I saw this a couple of days ago.

The thing that amuses me is that of the Big Five personality traits, we're good in all four of them...except agreeableness.
