 | S/M literature as a genre confronts these aspects of gay and lesbian experience and, for better or worse, poses a constant challenge to them. |
| But for many of the people who produce and read S/M literature and who practice S/M as part of a dissenting subcultural tradition, S/M is believed to be a means of radically contesting the sexual assumptions of the majority culture. |
| Consensual S/M partners are said to disavow cruelty, coercion, and force in favor of a heightened sense of the kinds of boundary breaking, trust building, and creativity that is part of all erotic life. |
