I saw this list on another website. Anyone care to add to it?
Myth #1: There is some kind of universal BDSM protocol, standard, belief or way to “do” BDSM. (Ironically, some people label themselves as being part of an alternative lifestyle and then say there is a right way to do it)
Myth #2: Switches aren't really switches; they just can't make up their minds or are refusing to admit who they really are.
Myth #3: You have to sub or bottom before you can be a good dominant.
Myth #4: A real dominant never submits or bottoms.
Myth #5: A real submissive never tops.
Myth #6: length of time in BDSM gives you authority over newbies
Myth #7: There is such a thing as a "real" Top, bottom, slave, submissive, Dominant, Mistress, Master, Lord, Lady, Sadist, or masochist.
Myth #8: A submissive is the same as a bottom, a bottom is the same as a slave, a slave is the same as a masochist, and a masochist is the same as a submissive.
Myth #9: BDSM’rs are more accepting of differences of behaviour and opinion than the general population.
Myth #10: Because a BDSM practitioner has been engaging and participating in BDSM activities for more than a couple years, they are automatically safe, have a mature attitude, and serve as an appropriate authority figure and should be observed as such.
