Specialization and Exchange: Pegging Edition

Ascended fanfic 50 Shades of Grey has been tearing up the box office lately. According to injury reports from the CPSC, that ain't the only thing it's been tearing up.

When the novels were published, they appear to have awakened a dormant interest in kink among marginal readers. And as you might expect, these marginal readers are the most likely to be rank amateurs when it comes to things like safety protocols and good sense.

You know what sort of folks are experts at that sort of thing? Professional dominatrices.

You know what sort of profession is illegal?

Consider the possibility that lifting the ban on sex work expands the availability of expert spanking advice for consenting adults. And that's just short-term. Who knows what the next mania du jour will be? A prudent public health measure would be to refrain from throttling the development and availability of expert kink assistance.

S&M, with its risk of injury when conducted by amateurs, is not euvoluntary. Expertise makes it more so. Free citizens that they might bind each other.
