A slightly edited version of the dissertation can be read at David Jenkins: Dissertation Techniques of SM that are helpful in gaining comfort with sexual intimacy for survivors of child sexual abuse who practice SM play.Though there is a negative valance associated with SM play, this can be put down to a great deal of misunderstanding and lack of knowledge. The small body of descriptive research suggests the emphasis put on control of sexual interaction, communication, respect, and trust may actually have a helpful, even therapeutic impact on its practitioners, particularly with those who have been sexually abused as children. Edith E. Thomsen's dissertation asks what, if any, techniques in SM sexual play are helpful to survivors of child sexual abuse. Click here to read the abstract.
