Abstract
Dr. Gary Gregg and his research team conducts life history interviews with young adults aged 20
to 29. His study focuses on life history as well as sexual history, and the goal of his research is to
analyze how one’s life history develops, interacts with, and impacts one’s sexuality. He and his
team interview heterosexual people as well as people who identify within the LGBTQ+1
community. These analyses provide rich information on how sexuality is impacted not only by
biology but society as well. Though all analyses are hypothetical and cannot concretely indicate
specific causation, they contribute gain in knowledge about sexuality experiences and individual
development. In the following study I have analyzed five of Dr. Gregg’s previous interviewees,
all of whom participated in BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism,
and masochism) sex. My analyses hypothesize possible reasons as to how each interviewee’s life
history has influenced their desire for BDSM sex. Each analysis includes a brief overview of the
interviewee’s life and my overall analysis. Only the initials of each interviewee will be used to
ensure the privacy of the participants.
