Welcome to the world of whips, handcuffs, nipple rings, bootlicking, spanking, and genital torture. This is sadomasochism gone mainstream. And the more popular it becomes, the further underground the hardcore S&M proponents have to go. Why do people pursue this ""hobby""? Who pays 200 dollars an hour to be strapped to a ""wheel of torture"" in the dungeon of a popular Madame? Despite all the sexual overtones, S&M participants are not seeking sex. What they seek is the high from pain and humiliation. Find out why on this episode of The Sex Files.

Everyone wants good sex. But for people suffering from sexual dysfunction, it's beyond their reach. One third of men and more than forty percent of women suffer from sexual dysfunction, but what is it? What causes it? And how can science help people like Jeannie Allen, once outgoing and fun loving, now a self-imposed recluse. Jeannie suffers from a disorder that makes her feel like she's on the verge of an orgasm all day long. We'll also meet Donald Blair. He's in his early 20's and an unlikely candidate for erectile dysfunction. Our camera captures Donald as he goes through a treatment session with sex therapist Marta Helliesen. Marta's approach is different - no drugs involved. Perhaps Donald's problem is not physiological at all. Perhaps stress and anxiety are the culprits. But since many many men don't seek treatment for their sexual ailments, many might never know how simple a cure could be.
