I am a 24 year old woman who practices consensual BDSM with my long term boyfriend. I have been very interested in BDSM for most of my sexual life. My partner worries that my desire for BDSM stems from physical and mental abuse I suffered as a child. I was not sexually abused. Should I be worried?

Are you the giver or receiver of the BDSM? What do you think? Do you have any problems elsewhere in your life from the childhood abuse. I can't say for sure if it related or not.

No. Things cannot always be the causation of something because they are a bit different or "weird" or off-kilter to what others may think.
Are there any issues you can think of from your past as a child? If not, I wouldnt worry about it. Of course, if there are, then that could be a different story. But, it doesnt necessarily mean that it is either.
