Sadism and masochism are mental illnesses after all: nothing to do with demons.
Not defending the series but this info is incorrect as
Set is the patron of BDSM, there is nothing wrong with that as long as it's between consenting adults. In the series they use torture to punish criminals.
I don't believe it at all and I can no longer open Yahoo Groups, as I no longer use my yajoo email. To me, the question is simple. How is giving or receiving pain ok, even if between consenting adults? To me that, restricting senses and movement, degradation/humiliation, water "sports" and all other abusive behaviours are a byproduct of the christian brainwashing: the desire to be punished by the enemy eggregore manifests in mental illnesses of all kinds and in actually desiring punishment even in sexual life. It doesn't matter to me what others say about this, as I also see it as something coming from larpers like thos into LaVeyan Satanism, Luciferians, Temple of Set and the likes.
No amount of convincing will ever make me think otherwise as this is very clear to me.
You are free to believe otherwise as I don't care about convincing anyone about this.
On the other hand, dominance and submission are natural roles that exist in nature, when not taken to ridiculous extremes (such as collars, treating other people as servants and so on).
