I've been sorta troubled of late. The thing you have to understand about me is that I have a wide range of tolerances - it all depends upon the portrayal of something if I end up enjoying it.

Now, there are several artists here on DA whom I enjoy keeping track of and who, on occasion, produce some nice stuff. The major trouble is that some of their content just turns me off. Again, it's all about the portrayal - I can take a lot of things if they aren't particularly bloody or gorey or ungodly offensive. But there are some things that I'm just never, ever, ever going to get.

Case in point, bondage.

Admittedly, I do like the idea of a reasonably attractive woman dressed in leather garments. Said leather-clad woman chaining a person up or whipping them in order to elicit sexual pleasure from either participant, however, is beyond my ability to enjoy - I don't like whips, I don't like chains, I don't get turned on by getting the crap beaten out of me, and I especially don't like the idea of being tied up or handcuffed. Granted, my brain probably isn't geared towards such things, but there are many folks here who happen to get a kick out of things like that.

So, I'm left with the conundrum - do I enjoy the artwork and ignore the stuff I don't like, or ignore the artist's work entirely? I'm not looking for answers or suggestions, I just need to vent my thoughts.
