Do I think TRP and BDSM have many things in common? Absolutely not. TRPillers are typically hardcore traditionalists at heart while people who are into BDSM are typically the opposite. Also, people who are into BDSM are typically tolerant, while TRPillers are the type of people who hate on everyone who isn't like them. Not to mention that in my experience people into BDSM are typically left-wing. (at least all of the doms I have communicated with were left-wing leaning, lol.)

However, a lot of people who are into BDSM like a d/s relationship, same with TRPillers. Contrary to the popular belief, you don't have to be into sadism and masochism to be into BDSM, some people like much milder stuff. Communication is key.

Many people who are into BDSM have a d/s relationship love each other and even get married. There is a stereotype that people into BDSM are overly promiscuous but that's not so absolute.

Why don't TRPillers and RPW try BDSM communities if they like d/s so much? Like I said you don't have to be into hardcore stuff to be BDSM.
