SM AND CRIMINAL ASSAULT

An essay and comments on the legal status of BDSM.

BDSM events

Essay on TES30 and public BDSM events' legality

Child Custody and BDSM Parents

On the legal risks of exposing children to their parents' BDSM activities

Marital/Relationship Issues

F. McDermott answers questions about privacy from one's spouse, child custody, pre-nuptial agreements and adoption.

BDSM and Business

What are the legal issues surrounding a bed and bondage hotel, a BDSM campground, or an erotic resort?  Why can't adult video stores sell S&M videos when they can sell porn?  What's involved in setting up a for-pay BDSM website?

BDSM Groups and the Law

Can a play party's social rules offer legal protection?  How do you protect your BDSM group in a hostile legal environment?  What about fundraising activities involving auctioning off Doms or subs?  Should BDSM groups let in people between the ages of 18 and 20?

Private BDSM and the Law

If you hold a private party on your lawn, can you get busted?  If you consent to anything, and the Dom does something you don't like, what legal remedies do you have?  If you visit your doctor with welts or bruises showing, will he turn you or your Dom into the police?  If you are viewing a website or you get sent unsolicited email with questionably legal pornography, can you get in legal trouble?  Can you get sued by your exgirlfriend?  Why is domestic abuse considered a crime against the state, and not a crime against the victim?

Prostitution

I paid a pro-domme to hurt me but she hurt me too much-what can I do?  What's the line between legal pro-Domming and prostitution?  Who's really paying for the service if a client gives a Domme money and gives her cunnilingus, since she got the money AND the orgasm?  Why is prostitution illegal anyway?

Contracts

Can we draw up a legal contract giving my wife/Mistress legal and financial power over me?  Can we have a legal and binding contract that makes me wear a chastity belt?  How about one that authorizes a kidnapping scene and provides legal protection for my kidnappers?  Are Master/slave contracts legally enforcable? 

General Issues

Is  BDSM against  the law?  What can you do to protect yourself?  Be aware of child porn prosecutions and the Jovanovic and Spanner cases.  What about age of consent issues and taking toys on airplanes?
