Comments on other people's posts:

[cw: rape, discourse] [Dreamwidth; Wayback crawling forbidden] (OP by [personal profile] feotakahari; partly in response to [personal profile] random_thought_depository) Sex and emotional bonding. [six comments]

[cw: what it says on the tin, amnesia] [WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP by [tumblr.com profile] etirabys) The masochist's path to enlightenment.

(although upon reflection I should have specified "pain and power-exchange" rather than BDSM, since I do kind of have a thing for safety harnesses and I suppose that technically qualifies under B)

[cw: politics, (arguably) discourse] [WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP by [tumblr.com profile] timemachineyeah) The difficulties of pre-Internet information-gathering, and/or the difficulties of childhood information-gathering.
