So I have been taking classes for the past few years. I have been enrolled in a business program and was going to graduate this year, May 8th to be exact. However, with this pandemic, like my birthday, has been cancelled.
I am still required to take my classes online and hand in a bunch of things which have thankfully mostly been given extensions cause I have 2 big research papers both in APA format as well as a group project on a case that we have to figure out what to do with the company....
But anyways, for one of my research papers it is on social psychology. I know it doesn't really follow a business curriculum but I have had an interest in psychology for awhile and it's been interesting and I have been able to connect a lot of what I learn with BDSM and the lifestyle. When I was first introduced to the idea of having to write a research paper I, for a split second, thought about using BDSM as the main subject. There is so much that happens in this lifestyle that can be explained through psychology. I am currently caught between continuing with the boring as hell subject that I chose and being brave and super out there and writing the one on BDSM. Though I would need to narrow it down a lot then saying "BDSM and Social Psychology: There's a Connection" (That's actually such a great title) Im in trouble... I really feel like being out there about this now... I'm not so sure that my instructor would be too pleased but seriously we're all in quarantine and going a little squirrely!
What would my subjects be? I mean there is so much to talk about when it comes to BDSM and so many dynamics and practices. There is quite a bit of psychology and research done on BDSM... I could like submission and dissonance with disobeying, that could have so many implications as well as each sub is different, some are bratty and easily get through dissonance created from disobeying while others suffer greatly even thinking about disobeying. There are Dom's that have an innate gift of knowing exactly what their sub is thinking and others that only have a basic understanding, this I could connect with a lot... bad example.. but you get the gist right?
So back to the dilemma at hand... should I risk it and change my subject? Or do I stick with the easy subject (not that BDSM isn't easy) or do I go with something that has piqued my interest for many years and that so many people have a connection to? There are so many people out there that are kinky and don't think they are kinky, as I was told if you enjoy a little slap and tickle you're considered kinky. LOL
Thanks for reading... had to get that off my chest...
