In this session, the presenters tried to conceptualize BDSM activities from an attachment perspective, common in EFT. They talked about three main roles in BDSM activities and finally, though they could not prove that attachment styles have a determining role in BDSM identity, yet they could present a significant relationship between BDSM identity and attachment styles which was backed up with research statistic as well. The session ended with a question and answer section between participants and the two presenters, Mr. Mohammad Sādegh Miri and Ms. Setāreh Khosravi.
