A few changes for the provider review form

1. In the "provider appearance" section, the option of "BBW" needs to be added, to accurately reflect hobbyists who have this preference and opinion of the lady they saw.

2. The S&M option should be changed to "BDSM" to accurately reflect this service / activity. The term S&M implies sado-masochism only (pleasure from giving or receiving pain) the term "BDSM" is inclusive of all bdsm activities including fetish, roleplay, and a lot of non S&M activities. People familiar with bdsm know s&m can mean other things, people not familar with bdsm interpret s&m to mean giving or recieving pain only.

How about a BDSM / Fetish Discussion board ?

TER is a primarily a vanilla (traditional sex) environment, however there are hobbyists who enjoy alternative activities or are curious about it, which is not always well received on the discussion boards. A bdsm discussion board would be an excellent place for people with these interests to discuss topics, ask questions, etc., without being judged.

The term BDSM is formed from three other terms:
B&D
Bondage and Discipline
D/S
Dominance and Submission
The D/s component is a very important part of bdsm and is more about the emotional and pyschological aspects of the lifestyle.
S/M
Sadism and Masochism  
BDSM includes a wide range of activities involving a negotiated transfer of power between consenting partners. BDSM is not about abuse or other nonconsensual activities.
