In fiction, people who enjoy BDSM have a tendency to be intellectuals. (This correlation may have some truth, one survey found 20% of practitioners have post-graduate education.) Thus, an interest in BDSM can be used to underscore the character's intellectual side - making Brains and Bondage a mostly "positive stereotype" likely to be used on protagonists and other sympathetic characters. See also Casual Kink. Examples of Brains and Bondage include:

abstract
  • In fiction, people who enjoy BDSM have a tendency to be intellectuals. (This correlation may have some truth, one survey found 20% of practitioners have post-graduate education.) Thus, an interest in BDSM can be used to underscore the character's intellectual side - making Brains and Bondage a mostly "positive stereotype" likely to be used on protagonists and other sympathetic characters. However, it can also be used as a way to establish a villain as Wicked Cultured. This easily drifts into the Bondage Is Bad kind of Unfortunate Implications, unless counterexamples are provided or the Safe, Sane, and Consensual trope comes into play. In some works, Brains and Bondage will take the form of waxing poetic about pain or submission. In some Anti Intellectual works, it will instead be used as a blunt tool to make intellectuals look bad by invoking prejudice to make them seem "abnormal". See also Casual Kink.
