The film portrays men and women of various ages, backgrounds, and professions who have discovered pleasure in different forms of kink and physical pain. They have fully embraced their sexuality and are neither embarrassed by it nor are they hiding its unconventional manifestations. With intimate interviews and dramatic footage, this documentary dispels generally held myths and prejudices surrounding these widely practiced yet little-known forms of pleasure, while providing a glimpse into an alternative community. While intended for an adult audience, this film is not pornographic in nature. It investigates the BDSM community as an alternative expression of human sexuality, not as deviant behavior.
