This kind of sex can create an altered mental state

Time Magazine highlighted a new study looking at how BDSM sex produces an elevated state of consciousness.

The article quoted Lori Brotto, a UBC psychologist and professor in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology.

Brotto, who was not involved in this research, commented on the impact that focusing and being mindful can have on sexual experiences.

“Mindfulness helps people become just more generally aware of their body and their body sensation,” she said.
