Because nazgulwears and I were wondering...

Bond/le Chiffre BDSM: is that already canon slash (like, say, Jack/Ianto or Jack/Jack) or just very, very strong subtext (like, say, Aubrey/Maturin from 'Master and Commander')?

That scene was actually what inspired the question. He gets beaten with a nasty rope onto his privates, even. Poor bloke. We were just wondering if that fulfilled the specs of being canon slash, or if that was still subtext.

Ahhh...I wouldn't call it slash at all, myself: it's inflicting pain for the sake of inflicting pain, not for any kind of sexual rush.

Well, it might have given Le Chiffre a sexual rush (and mind you, i have no idea who Le Chiffre-mun in Milliways is, I mean the canon charrie, not the Milli!pup), but it certainly didn't do for Bond. And consensuality gets taken very serious by the BDSM types I read and heard about.

Also, the point in the exercise wasn't the sexual rush but the extraction of information, even if Le Chiffre set it up in a way that he'd enjoy it.
