The history major in me is screaming yes! Read the primary source documents! So true. “That young people do it isn’t new - I think the people who say that it is, forget how many gay leathermen started out at 17 year olds in motorcycle clubs in the 50’s.”

I remember 10 years ago in college, there were students there who'd been doing kink, reading all the books, talking the talk and walking the walk since their teens in the late 80's. That young people do it isn't new - I think the people who say that it is, forget how many gay leathermen started out at 17 year olds in motorcycle clubs in the 50's. That said, it took me 15 years from my initial contact with S&M erotica to coming out into the scene. Much of that time was deprogramming, emotional growth, etc. Honestly, I'm still not truly comfortable with BDSM, or with my bisexuality. I'm 31, I've been out in the scene for 3 years, I've been saying I'm bi for 6 years, and I'm not OK with it. I am sad and angry about that, but it does make me think there's something to the idea that self-acceptence can take a lot of time. I think you have a point on the deprogramming not necessarily taking as long anymore, because of exposure. I think you're totally right there. However, I think more people have more to de-program than you might think. I think the more there is to deprogram, the more energy that deprogramming will take. That can be spread over time, or it can be done intensively and quickly - and more traumatically. Maybe that's why there are as many flameouts and recklessly self-damaging people as there are.
