变异的性行为

在皮革恋物癖者和施虐受虐癖者（sadomasochist）性少数之间存在重叠的范围[1]。许多男女对这两种性行为变异都感兴趣。因此，一些有组织的性少数团体会迎合这两种的性癖好者。不过，也有专门针对“捆绑与体罚癖（bondage and discipline，BD）”与“施虐受虐癖（sadomasochism，S/M）”的组织。它们有自己的网站或杂志以及时事通讯，而且许多组织也举行地方、全国和国际性的聚会。一些组织还设法就它们的目标和活动教育社会大众；另一些组织则着重于给成员提供信息和提供合适的聚会场所。

典型的BDSM组织网站主页

缩写字母BDSM代表捆绑与体罚癖和施虐为受虐癖好。在这种标志之下，各种各样的性少数团体建立了自己的网站，并提供大量的教育和社会活动信息。它们也允许具有相似癖好者通过网站相互交友。(为了避免被轻易识破，广告中这些场所的名称及其它细节内容已经有所改变，但是其活动的内容则确定无疑。)

Sexual Minorities: 5. Sadomasochists

There is some overlap between the minorities of leather fetishists and sadomasochists. Many women and men are interested in both types of sexual variation. Consequently, some organized groups cater to both camps. However, there are also organizations specifically devoted to “Bondage and Discipline” (BD) and “S/M” (sadomasochism). They have their own web sites or journals and newsletters, and many also hold local, national, and international meetings. Some try to educate the general public about their aims and activities; others concentrate on informing their members and offering them appropriate meeting places.
