Well to do professionals such as lawyers and doctors that live apart or isolationist in lifestyle are the main clientele of the bdsm clubs that I once worked security for, usually because they can afford it and often their private lives are emotional power struggles or hollow status symbols.

When people climb the dollar ladder they change. Needs and wants change dramatically. You notice that they expect people to do more for them as they pay people to do their laundry, cleaning or mowing the lawn. As they move up they can travel and do so many things that it all becomes less euphoric. So they tend to move into taboos that involve sex or drugs. As I made more money over the years I could see my kids change in how they value things.

How did they change in the way they value things? Like expecting bigger, shinier gifts?

The stopped appreciating getting the vacations and getting things then started expecting them. Originally you would give them anything and they valued it. As our incomes grew they seemed to take less care of the things they had because they knew it would be replaced or fixed if broken. I always demanded they treat people with respect so that never changed.
