Is bdsm and peodophilia linked in a way?

Amongst the over 30s it tends to be hardcore- way beyond spanky and handuffs.
Emphasising the m-d-s-b in that order with violence.
I walked out on the ex when I realised what vile bdsm stuff he was into.

I meant that others can often view it as a disorder in itself, as though theres a pathological reason behind it, rather than it simply being a sexual interest.

I guess so many people say that people into bdsm are mentally ill/have a disorder

An adult's consent only extends so far- legally.
For example- consenting to strangulation until unconscious or being subjected to repeated violence with the type of weapon that cannot be lawfully carried in a public place.
It seems that some people enjoy a significant danger element, hazardous to their health or not.

A lot of it occurs outside of private residential premises, bdsm events and sex worker's premises.
Those with an appetite for the hardcore stuff seem none too keen on risk assessments and safety precautions.

From the violence to the age range, you have a very pornographic point of view about this...also you said you had a bdsm partner but you told me you're mid 20s, yet just said BDSM is extreme for over 30s, for..some weird reason

I have never participated in any bdsm activities.
The ex was paying sex workers large sums to reenact his vile bdsm fantasies and extremely violent scenes from his illegal hardcore porn stash.
The consequence was std's for the whole lot of them and both sex workers had serious visible injuries requiring painkillers.

There are different bdsm circles.
The hardcore crowd tend to be the over 30s whose favourite activities generally include all four letters (b,d,s,m).
As opposed to the under 30s bdsm participants, who seem to favour the non-violent b and d elements.

I was replying to another user who erroneously believed that I did bdsm with the ex.
