   Still uses safewords... except for the very rare players who are at a level of trust to choose not to use them, and even so the play is still negotiated, consensual. If it is not consensual, it is assault.

   Yeah, I kind of wondered what kind of experience you were talking about, that did not include knowledge of safewords. De Sade was writing about *fantasies*... doing what he wrote about non consensually would land you in jail... where he spent much of his life.

   Nope. Sexual orientation is usually inborn... although I have observed that mummification is popular with people who had a caesarian birth. Like they are instinctively trying to create the experience of being squeezed in the birth canal, that they missed. Not every caesarian becomes a bondage enthusiast, tho.

   My definition.

   It is really more about a lack of self consciousness. Less concern with appearances positive or negative.

   Ego dies, ya grow a new one. The difference is, you can observe it's antics without having to act on its desires.
