Well, subspace is also a word used a lot in mathematics to represent a subsection of space, and in SF as a handwavy word for 'why we can go faster than light'.
And some of the limits of giving a fifteen minute talk to people who don't necessarily know the first thing about BDSM (outside of pop culture dominatrices*) probably mean being superficial as hell, as you know. (Heck, one of the conferences I go to has 7-8 minute talks, and I'm told the AAS (the big astronomy conference) has 5 minutes, unless you're a grad student presenting dissertation work, when you get 10 or 15. My boss likened it to a commercial -- 'Hi, this is what I do, if it interests you, see me over coffee'. Or else it's to get people to use the poster sessions.)
"And I'm afraid to ask this, but... what do you use a blood pressure cuff for in the context of a scene?" Well, I'd assume some folks would be turned on by medical role-play, and others might like the ability to incrimentally restrict blood flow, though I'd think they wouldn't be sized well for things other than limbs.
Though right now, thanks to visiting the campus health center, I had to remind myself that there were manual cuffs, rather than the automatic ones the health center uses.
* Which Firefox also knows. 'Dominatrices' pings as correct; 'dominatrixes' doesn't.
