Have you ever felt your D/s, M/s, or other power exchange relationship was misunderstood?
Do you ever grow weary of having to justify or explain your power exchange relationship?
Do people assume that you are somehow a bad person for enjoying these relationships?
Because these misunderstandings often lead to discrimination, we are seeking to address these misunderstandings by conducting an in-depth study of a diverse array of power exchange relationships, which we are calling authority transfer relationships.
The experiences of dominance and submission come in many different types of relationships, such as master-slave, dominant-submissive, pup-handler, and Big-little to name just a few. These power-exchange relationships are often misunderstood and often mischaracterized. We are conducting an exploratory study to contribute to a better understanding of these relationships.
