"BDSM is listed in the DSM-5, the newest edition of the definitive psychiatrist's manual, as a paraphilia, or unusual sexual fixation"
"DSM-5 does not label BDSM a disorder unless it causes harm to the practitioner or to others"
Andreas Wismeijer - Psykolog:
"Wismeijer and his colleagues put out a request on the forum for people in the BDSM "scene" to take a variety of psychological questionnaires online. They also sought participants who didn't do BDSM via a women's magazine website, a personal secret website and a university website."
"The study is somewhat limited by a self-selecting response pool and by the fact that BDSM practitioners could have been answering in ways to make themselves look better and avoid stigma, Wismeijer said"
"Wismeijer isn't exactly sure why BDSM practitioners might be psychologically healthier than the general public."
"One study alone shouldn't determine whether a condition is placed in the DSM or not, Wismeijer said"
"I'm not so convinced that BDSM should be placed within the DSM-5,"

Så, en psykolog har gjort en studie där medverkande har kunnat favorisera sina svar till egen fördel, vilket är välkänt att människor gör på alla test.
Det finns ingen hänvisning till studien.
