And following that, great populations of people get certain ideas about the terminology and begin generalizing about other people who use the terminology. So if you are sitting in a restaurant and you speak the letters, S and M together, and you say it loud enough, several people will turn around and look at you and automatically assume that you are "dangerous". Just because you uttered the terms.

It's kind of like "mob mentality" and if you are in the wrong location at a particular moment, you might even be attacked for just saying those two letters. The public as a general group is quite dangerous through ignorance and assumption.

I, personally do not like to use the terms S&M for several reasons. First, let's find out what the letters mean. "S" stands for the Marquis de Sade, who was a criminal living after the year,1750, and mostly in prison. He, de Sade, was mainly a writer who lived and wrote from a prison cell. He did non-consentual domination and torture to other people, even murdered people, but became famous because his mind was extremely articulate and his ideas so terribly unusual in a macabre sense and he could put them down on paper.

He was brilliant but is repulsive to me because of the non-consenual selfishness of his life. The other letter "M" stands for Masoch. Leopold von Sacher Masoch, whom psychologists, for lack of a letter word, took his name from and produced the term, "masochism".
