Different Loving or Perversion? Questions about D&S, B&D and S&M

Screen 28 of 37

The other sites you probably came across that have a dark and perhaps a disturbing theme reflect a sad reality about our current culture. There is a growing trend of people who are attracted to and fascinated by death and dark images primarily due to a lack of hope or positive re-enforcement in their lives. This is especially true among young people and it is indeed a disturbing trend in our society. I sometimes patronize a local mall and I will observe how young people are dressed and how they carry themselves.

The dark tee shirts with images that portray death, the dark jeans, the dark lipstick on the girls, the hair dyed dark and cut in a purposely unattractive style, the various piercing on the face, all of this outward expression portrays the inner hopelessness, despair and lack of self-esteem that these young people carry on the inside. This dark and negative expression has become its own subculture. It carries over into their music, their social circles, and even into their sexuality. S&M to them represents a sexuality without love. To these poor souls, life is dark with little hope for the future. They have a fatalism mentality and that is reflected in their dress, music, and self-expression. Some will outgrow this, while others will not without the help of others.
