"Could bondage be good for you? S&M enthusiasts are 'healthier and less neurotic' than those with a tamer sex lifeThose who enjoy indulging in fetishes are psychologically healthier and happier than the general population, say Dutch researchers
Experts believe this is because they are more outgoing and less neurotic
Those who played the dominating role in sex games were deemed as the most mentally healthy and submissives the least
But none of the S&M participants scored lower than the general population in psychological tests
Some may think it is perverse, but enjoying the snap of the whip or the clink of chains on skin could make you more psychologically healthy than those who enjoy a more mundane sex life.
A study found that BDSM - bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism - enthusiasts scored better on a variety of personality and psychological tests compared to those who did not have sexual fetishes.
Experts say this is because those who enjoyed kinky sex were more extroverted, more open to new experiences and less neurotic.
Dr Andreas Wismeijer, a psychologist from Tilburg University, found that BDSM practitioners ‘either did not differ from the general population and if they differed, they always differed in the more favourable direction’.
Dr Wismeijer and his fellow researchers asked BDSM fans to undergo a variety of psychological questionnaires online.
They also sought participants who did not do BDSM via a women's magazine website, a personal secret website and a university website.
Participants did not know what the surveys were about, other that they concerned ‘human behaviour’."
