You are pretty close with that reason actually. It's because the con is *for* SFF fans, not just about SFF, so they include stuff on the program that are of interest to them. So there 4 (out of 200+) items on BDSM. There were also events on knitting, fighting with medievil weaponary (the SCA were there), cooking, building robots and god knows what else (I can't be arsed to scan through the program). But overall the vast majority of the events were about SFF.
I only went to the rope bondage one cos there was nothing else on at the time and I figured it would be interesting. And it was. Plus I also learnt that the traffic light system has an level designed for when nuuki is appropriately touching people of "Red Red Red!". I'll try and remember to bring along the BDSM safety sheet I got along to the next game :)
I know, it was very interesting! There was one panelist whose book collection has grown so big, that her and her husband have had to build a new house that is especially designed to accomodate it :O
Sounds like I've not been doing anything wrong either with my own collection which is pleasing :)
You could come too! There was a panel discussing what people thought about the Watchman movie for example, which you might have been interested in.
I don't think many of us are planning on going next year as it's Birmingham, but the year after is back at Heathrow again so I imagine quite a few of us will be up for it.
