I don't find that amusing.
There is a guy I know called Laurence who runs a business called Roissy Workshops making BDSM furniture.
Here's a short precis of his situation from the Unfettered website. (I won't link to it because it contains adult content).
Quote:
On Wednesday 26th July 2000 Laurence recieved a telephone call from his employers Lancashire Probation Service that changed his life. This call was in respect of an anonymous fax making allegations about his involvement in consensual BDSM and ultimately resulted in his dismissal from his work.
Since that time Laurence has refused to be cowed, bullied, intimidated or silenced. He has taken his case through stage after stage of court proceedings with one aim in mind. To establish a legal precident whereby the rights of practitioners of consensual adult BDSM are protected from victimisation by employers.
The case has now run for five years during which time a variety of institutional predjudices and ignorance have been highlighted. A catalogue of hypocrisy and deceit mark its progress and the matter is now set to be placed before the European Courts.
If successful this will be a landmark case and rank as one of the most significant victories for BDSM ever achieved.

I sincerely hope he wins.

I've always wanted to go to a naturist beach, I imagine it would be quite (excuse the cliche) liberating.
