  • All good points. I really don't know. I was only relaying what I remember from what a pro told me over drinks at a party. It is fair to say that she was speaking about her wealthy clientele, not the BDSM cohort as a whole.

    The convo actually came up because we were lamenting the price of quality leather goods. One was talking about a leather couch he bought and was sick of various bonded leather garbage and the dearth of quality leather goods. Another was talking about bridle/saddle leather, and another was talking about gunbelt/holster and leather jackets. This piqued her interest and she jumped into the convo because high end leather is a big big part of her business and the cost of her operations. Once she shared what she did, everyone was fascinated and she was the belle of the ball so to speak. She was reluctant to reveal her business at first because she was nervous about how a party full of squares would react. We all loved her. She was sweet, funny and very very smart, even in a party with a bunch of scientists.

    She really knew her leather, and even suggested custom leather shops that could help us all out. Turns out a lot of family run bespoke leather crafters that do horse tack and similar goods, also do bdsm gear. Leatherwork is leatherwork I guess. There is a LOT of money rolling around in there for the few who cater to elite markets.

    I don't presume to have a handle on the bdsm disaspora, and I recognize I got a small peek through a straw that night.

  • The Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway sounds like a great place to take a shit.

  • Thanks for sharing. Can you characterize the people beyond the cliché I spoke of? Is it everyone from all walks of life or do certain people gravitate to it. It makes no sense to me and I don't know anyone other than this friend of a friend.

  • This makes sense to me in the context of the story I relayed. Executives tend to draw mostly from a pool of high functioning psychopaths. That is preinstalled. So presumably the kink would be too.

  • I had a friend of a friend who is a bona fide Dom. She was particularly wealthy considering the reputation of the sex trade. Her practice catered to Financial District and C-Suite types who could afford her services. She told me these powerful people invariably develop a kink where they want to be dominated and humiliated as a "grass is always greener on the other side" reaction to their usual position of power and dominance. What blew my mind is that she said sexual release during sessions was a minority. Most got that at home from trophy spouses. They craved the psychology of bondage, domination and humiliation. Clientele included women too.

    Humans are weird and wonderful.

  • Yes, but didn't you notice the Phosphorous man standing behind Haber-Bosch? Plus there are other nitrogen pathways.

    Phosphorous currently uses not so common mineral deposits, and we have no substitutes for this. I haven't read up on this in a while, but 25 years ago or so we were looking into extracting phosphorous from municipal wastewater as a means of creating a circular phosphorous K economy.

  • Thanks. But you can use eye tracking on static images with just a good webcam on a monitor.

    Also in a live environment, presumed static (no people or traffic etc) image stabilization tech makes things much simpler.

  • Sure, but any decent webcam and monitor can do this.

  • Considering how common and easy eye tracking is, this seems like some shitty science.
