The big news in Canada is that a nationally famous CBC radio host has admitted to having consensual "rough sex" with women. He has lost his job because it is becoming apparent that it may not have been quite so consensual, and although he has been tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion, at the time of this writing he hasn't been charged with anything. Kudos to Christie Blatchford of The National Post for being the sole defender of his presumed innocence.
He has brought the topic of BDSM (look it up, I'm not going to define it) into the mainstream. No really, he actually wrote about it on his Facebook page. The Globe and Mail, Canada's National Newspaper published an article explaining it, describing it as healthy. It's only time before it becomes part of the curriculum in Ontario schools, probably in Grade 3 (Why Does Mommy Have a Whip?) and flags are flown at City Hall, parades held....
I haven't read an article, blog post or status update from a Facebook friend that condemns the practice, consensual or not. And yet I'd wager most people are sickened at the thought of it happening to someone they love or care about; a sister, or a friend or your mother, for example.
The dominance of another human being, and the wish to be objectified by another is not respectful of God's creation - us - we imperfect people, perfect in His eye. There is something terribly wrong to wish to inflict pain, subjugation, humiliation and forcible restraint, and conversely to wish it upon oneself for sexual satisfaction.
And no, I'm not pushing my religion on anyone. That one chooses not to believe in God doesn't change truth.
