The University of Antwerp wants to break the taboo on BDSM, and conducted a unique experiment in a fetish club in Flanders, where researchers measured the biological processes of participants:
As a part of the study, researchers of the university went to a fetish club over the course of 12 evenings, to measure and analyse the pain and pleasure that are associated with BDSM, which in full stands for Bondage and Discipline (BD), Dominance and Submission (DS), and Sadism and Masochism (SM).
In 2017, a survey, also by the University of Antwerp, among 1028 Flemish respondents revealed that almost half (46.8%) of them had engaged in a BDSM activity at least once before.
For this study, the researchers mapped out the biological mechanisms at play during the BDSM sessions of 35 experienced couples who volunteered to be studied, using questionnaires, blood samples, algometers (to measure the pain threshold), GSR sensors (to monitor stress) and heart rate monitors. Several observers also methodically kept track of the interactions during the sessions…
“We see a significant increase in both stress and pleasure hormones for the submissive BDSM partners,” said Wuyts, reports VRT. “The pleasure reaction can even be linked to the stress reaction,” she added.
The positive stress responses can be compared to what is known as the ‘runner’s high’, the rush of happiness due to the release of a flood of endorphins that runners can experience during prolonged exertion.
“In both cases, the body produces endocannabinoids,” said Wuyts. She compares the responses to watching horror movies or riding a rollercoaster. However, for practitioners of BDSM, the pleasure of intimacy or sexuality increases that feeling even more.
For the dominant BDSM-practitioners, the pleasure response was mainly linked to power play, which revolves around a power imbalance, and less so to pain play, in which pain is inflicted on the submissive participant, according to the research.
The result of the study will be published in the academic Journal of Sexual Medicine, but the researchers aim to share the results of the study with as many people as possible to break the taboo that still surrounds BDSM.
“For a long time, engaging in BDSM was classified as a sexual deviation, and even a disorder,” said Morrens. “In fact, the psychiatric diagnostic manual (DSM-5) still describes BDSM as a ‘diagnosis’, which means practitioners often still face prejudice,” he added.
“Based on biological factors, we have now been able to demonstrate that there is no reason to make BDSM a pathology that needs to be treated. It is not a psychological abnormality, but a normal expression of intimacy or sexuality,” said Wuyts.
The people who conducted this study are not scientists but rather social engineers promoting a destructive agenda.
This aberrant behavior is “normal” only for the deviants who practice it. Deriving sexual pleasure by having someone physically abuse you is the very definition of abnormal. Not only is it abnormal, it is deeply disturbed, no matter how many people engage in it.
But Belgian society itself is shows signs of being sado-masochistic, especially how it has allowed the country to be flooded with sexually violent Muslims and Africans. They get pleasure out of the physical pain and death that comes with diversity.
And the pedophile elite who run Belgium derive sick pleasure by inflicting diversity on the population and watching the waves of violence wash over the society.
Perhaps, in that sense Belgium is the perfect place to finally normalize this psychopathy.
Study of hormone release and human body response is science. Also what is science is the reality that SEXUAL PERVERSION is taught and is an addiction. That the perversion to hurt others and cause them pain is not limited to SEX. This is part of my research. It is clear that the research done is not looking at the full events taking place in life. One who learns sexual perversion gets excitement from creating pain in others and finds there are many ways to do this. Sex is just one way. Stealing money, destroying a career, shaming with a secret made public …many ways of perversion exist. I am writing a book on perversion…. there are many stories of perversion however people do not tell them out of fear that they will be a lesser person. If you have a story of having someone hurt you and you had so much shame you kept silent please write me. I will not make you public..but the story will be public to help stop this behavior.

It’s comical how morally superior Belgians think they are to average Bible-believing Americans, whom they view as ignorant, violent, and racist. It won’t be long before the Belgians want their guns and Bibles back….and maybe they’ll come to understand Americans a little more now that they gotten a taste of diversity for themselves.
Everything is normal. The term “abnormal” is hate speech, and anyone who uses it should be jailed. Anyone who isn’t a sadomasochist is abnormal, but that’s not hate speech to say so.
All is normal? Then White Nationalism and all hatred is normal. . .jews are caught in a great circularity. . .those who hate normality are normal. . .those who hate ABnormality are also normal. . .relativists are normal, haters of relativism are also normal. . .and so on and so on, different strokes for different folks. . .sly & family stoned, 1969. . .
“I Dunno”, That is an ironic comment, which means the exact opposite of what is stated. Humor is lost for most people on the internet apparently.
