The SM thing that Akeno has will be difficult to swallow because I am not sure that Issei will be willing to be tied, and getting whipped for fun that to him is not pleasurable so either Akeno has to make a choice to make the relationship normal because she doesn't want to freak Issei out, and she is not stupid enough to lose the relationship with Issei because he doesn't want that because in relationships you have to give or take because if your partner doesn't like this, and it really bothers him then it is preferrable to not even try on him unless he is wiling to do it but I don't sense Issei to be a SM person.
