D/s has been around in various forms since the dawn of recorded history. If the outcome of a D/s lifestyle was a lack of of sexual desire, then one facet of the life would have disappeared over time. Such is simply not the case.
It is often said: "Ignorance is bliss" - and unfortunately on the subject of D/s, the author shows that he "chooses to be happy".

As both a practitioner and an educator, I would agree. Many of these "experts" have little understanding of the depth and complexity of D/S and BDSM relationships.
The problem is that with the advent of the Internets Tubes, it is easier for people to obtain information concerning D/S and BDSM. Unfortunately, a lot of that information is wrong. People experiment with it and lacking actual education sometimes get hurt (physically or emotionally).
The Japanese industry is producing pornography and while there is nothing wrong with that, pornography should never be confused with educational material. In our classes, we spend a lot of time making sure that our attendees understand that what they see in porno is not what happens in real life.
Most people never leave the world of pornography and go into the real world of BDSM and that's a good thing. One is not better than the other, they are simply different.
But in any case D/S and BSDM have been around for a long time and people are still boinkin'
