From the "I guess S&M is just too boring" department:
<quote>
Brock Enright, a 25-year-old artist, has created a business where people
pay him thousands of dollars a time to be violently abducted.
Around 30 people have used the service so far, and dozens of other
personalised 'kidnap plans' are in preparation.
Each kidnap is different, to cater for the particular tastes of the
individual.
...
Psychotherapist Sheena Hankin believes there could be therapeutic value in
kidnapping for fun - and would even try it herself.
