It's a bit too off topic to expound on here, but while I *was* proficient in complex 'Japanese' suspension bondage and other related skills, there was no direct sexual element to the work I did. I also, as manager, dealt with both clients and workers all day, and with a psych and sociology double degree up my sleeve, I spent a lot of time silently analysing the behavioural aspects of it all. It was a very interesting and fulfilling job.
You know, when I first saw Rebecca's case, my first thought was "she was being raped by a BDSM fetishist" and that she went over the balcony trying to get away. It was the leash-like rope, bindings, dog bone near the bed, all of it very fetishistic. I'm still not sure that wasn't part of the staging. (eta -- and I about crapped a brick when I read later about the "Asian bondage *advertiser censored*" - ) And while I have seen first hand some of the truly weird stuff people are into behind closed doors, I still can't see this woman who took pride in herself and spent all day (a day I'd have spent curled up in bed crying my damn eyes out) driving people around in the MOST awkward situation imaginable.. she pulled herself together and played taxi for the Shacknais.. some of whom were hardly friendly.. My point being, she just did not have any precursor behaviour to such a devastatingly humiliating act. Plus, all the stuff that doesn't add up, evidence-wise...
But yeah, I kaiboshed the BDSM theory, though the bindings look very familiar to me. I may have more to say about those, at some point.
