SUSAN FOR NOW

Synopsis

The narrator of this first person documentary is in her forties, a finance professional with a Masters Degree who had been celibate for ten years while raising her only child and working. The husband and child now gone in separate directions; she replaces the empty nest syndrome by reclaiming her sexual freedom. She encounters the sex positive community in Seattle, Washington and the resources now available both on the internet and beyond that did not exist a decade ago. This film seeks to dispel the myth that all forms of BDSM (Bondage, Domination, and Sado-Masochism) and fetishes are inherently deviant through an intelligent and forthright exploration of this widely practiced let little known genre of alternative sexuality in some of its most extreme forms.
