When someone asks you about your leisure time activities, you probably answer something like running, reading books, watching tv shows or creating the plan for world domination.

But would you think about adding BDSM* to the list? Despite the popularity of 50 shades of Grey, BDSM is still considered a kinky sex activity and not something you put on your resume as a hobby.

This can change thanks to the research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. They surveyed almost 1000 participants aged 18-89. Around 90% of participants said that BDSM gave them a sense of personal freedom and adventure, it decreased their stress and they felt relaxed.  97% claimed they had positive emotions and almost 99% experienced pleasure and enjoyment.  The findings show that BDSM fits the characteristic of common leisure experience the same way as attending the concert or golfing.
