message: The Section under music refers only to songs released post 2010, whereas Madonna released the ground-breaking S&M-themed song 'Erotica' in 1992. The video contains nudity, Madonna dressed as a dominatrix and S&M imagery. While the lyrics refer to S&M, pain as pleasure, infantilism and the female as the dominant partner.

As well as this, she released the photograph book 'Sex' which is full of imagery of S&M & domination (female on female, female on male, male on female).

This was incredibly shocking in 1992, by the time Rihanna and Aguilera released their S&M-themed songs, the subject was already somewhat tame. Please give Madonna the credit she deserves for bringing the topic to the mainstream. 2A02:8309:2183:7800:BDFA:D66C:2D23:B424 (talk) 07:04, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Furthermore, Madonna's 1990 single "Hanky Panky" is all about BDSM, with lyrics about spanking, bondage, domination.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanky_Panky_(Madonna_song)
The video for her 1995 single "Human Nature" also contained BDSM elements, with Madonna dressed in a rubber bodysuit, chained to a chair and also dominating bound male and female dancers and wielding a riding crop.

message: The section on sadomasochism that describes it as an addiction was added by someone with an axe to grind and no sources to back them up. One citation suffers from every imaginable bias (a "phenomenological study" of 9 criminals in prison is hardly a scientific endeavor), and the other isn't even relevant (it's about gambling, and the supposed link is not apparent in the data). 50.47.99.220 (talk) 15:48, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The latter statement (correlating gambling) feels like OR/conclusion of the reader, so that has been removed.  The study, I'm unsure about -- I've heard others speak of the addictive quality, so it's not entirely untrue, but I'll let someone else weigh in on the validity here.

thread_title:  Edit Request: "Addiction" section on masochism is absurd and offensive. Remove it. 

message: Just a full set of titties and a vulva right on here. Stopchewingyourcuticles (talk) 10:59, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The gender ratio on these photos is also real bad. The photos of nude women outnumber every other subject something like 10:1, and the majority of men depicted are clothed/dominant. Saying this as a researcher of the topic and former professional in the community this is not a good look for this article, doesn't represent the history of or current reality of BDSM as a culture, and it needs to be either heavily trimmed or balanced.

thread_title:  Wow! Just some full-frontal nudity on this page huh.
