ORIGINAL: stella40 Wow! What a heavy thread! Personally speaking I'm somewhat surprised that we're on the fourth page of a thread about age play and it seems that nobody's even thought of or mentioned TA or transactional analysis. I'm talking about the psychoanalytic theory of psychology developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne in the late 1950's. This is a revision of Freud's concept of the human psyche as being made up from the id, ego and super-ego. Berne replaced this with three 'ego states' - the Parent, Child and Adult states - these being largely shaped through our childhood experiences. And you just made it 'heavier' Stella. Personally I put more stock in Jungian behavioral psychology than Freudian, but you may be interested in Freud's theory on Polymorphous perverse: Characterized by or displaying sexual tendencies that have no specific direction, as in an infant or young child, but that may evolve into acts that are regarded as perversions in adults. In more simplistic terms, Polymorous Perverse perhaps describes my sexuality best as well as it does for many aroused by BDSM because they've to a largest degree rejected socially accepted norms in adult heterosexual behavior that focuses on the genitals and reproduction as completely unacceptable for them. The Polymorous Perverse sex deviant such as myself exhibit sexual tendencies and arousal in a way that is not solely dependent on genitals as the principal sexual organ, nor coitus as the goal of erotic activity. Sexual arousal for Polymorous Perverse Deviant tends to be more focused in the cerebral cortex, or the 'new brain' than the 'beast brain' that speaks to the cerebral cortex by telling us all we want our genitals stimulated.... quote:
ORIGINAL: stella40 Now getting back to the basic concept of BDSM and D/s we are, are we not, talking about close interpersonal relationships based on the playing of roles? Isn't that what separates BDSM and D/s from vanilla? In BDSM and D/s we take on a role and take part in various interactions, games and rituals which we don't in what we call vanilla life. BDSM and D/s is 'play', vanilla is reality. I don't think BDSM and D/s is merely 'play' for many folks. For some it is their reality more than it is a play time role. For me it's an extension of the realities of life in a capitalistic system because as long as you need money, you are a slave. We do not exchange the products of our labor, but rather the labor itself for money. We sell ourselves for a given period of time, and in return for wages, promise to obey our pay masters. This social relationship of wage labor, which is a very recent development, is claimed by capitalists to be a source of "freedom," whereas in fact, it is a form of involuntary indentured servitude. This being perhaps a 'ploy' by Masters and Business Owners to control their slaves to prevent an overthrow of the system. This hierarchical control of wage labor has the effect of alienating workers from their own work, and so from themselves. Workers no longer govern themselves during work hours leaving them no longer free for a large portion of their lives. Most capitalist worker slaves in America consciously refuse to admit to their own very real imprisonment inside the cubicle walls of submission surrounding them. Of the 3 resource commodities necessary for any business in capitalism, the Human Resource is treated no differently than the capital (funding, monetary) or the physical resource (building, equipment) commodity. Work in the Sex Industry does not debase an individual's talents to any degree close to the 10s of millions serving as a human resource commodity who are prostituting their skills and bodies in repetitive, routine, and unchallenged Monkey Jobs on a daily basis for a few bananas an hour. In capitalism, time is a commodity. When your time is a commodity, Your life itself becomes a commodity. It is a two class society we all vacillate back and forth from in between varying degrees of this Master and Slave hiearchy at various times throughout the day depending on the situation, the time and the place. These two hierachial classes are the but two poles on a continuum. It is however a horizontal continuum, not a vertical one as most perceive it. It just looks vertical. Appearances though are everything in our two class system of capitalism. If it looks vertical, it may as well be, because we act as if it were. Maybe that's why vertebrates dress up and posture. We see what we look for. These two Master and Slave classes are not really defined by how much money one has, nor even how it's made. Class is about dominance and submission in a hierarchial capitalistic society. The reality is that all of us are in a Master/Slave relationship especially while on the job, but also at home and towards kids if there are any. Wage Slaves, or 99% of all of us controlled by the 1% 'Masters' owning 90% of America's wealth and resources, submit at work to exist due to this inherent hierarchial nature of capitalism deeming the human resource no different than the other two resources needed for any business. Even a class society is not really composed of classes, but varying degrees of surrender to control over our lives, or dominance over others to control them. Dominating at times while submitting at others. Most of us, or the 99% wage slaves in America have a price affixed to our bodies as the commodity we are in the labor market. It's only slightly less degrading than the price sign hanging around a slave on the auction block back in colonial times. Society is not composed of individuals, either. Society is composed of relationships. Relationships between individuals and groups of individuals. Each of these relationships are composed of interactions. There are only two fundamental kinds of relationship interactions, consensual and nonconsensual. Talking on the phone is consensual. Receiving Telemarking calls without permission is nonconsensual. Hiring on as a mercenary is consensual. Getting maimed by a terrorist's bomb is nonconsensual. Agreeing to go on a date with someone is consenual. Being raped on the date when not wanting sex in nonconsensual. quote:
ORIGINAL: stella40: And much of our interaction and the role-playing we do can be very easily analyzed through this transactional analysis model, where the Dominant plays the role in the Parental ego state and the submissive plays the role in the Child ego state. Isn't this the basis of our roles - teacher/schoolgirl, doctor/nurse, doctor/patient, mummy/little girl (consider sissy maids), nanny/adult baby, Master or Mistress/slave, Lady/maid, etc? And isn't that precisely what any decent Pro-Domme offers? Ultimately, even your own position Stella as a pro dom is one that sexually serves [which is the very act of being submissive], albeit far less of one than the standard wage slave. The 'Pro Domme' only fools herself if she thinks she's not 'serving' her clients. You are still serving another for a reward even though it assertive serving' for a tangible reward. A submissive or slave to sex doing what a submissive or slave must do to be one in sexually serving for pleasure, serves only for intangible rewards. By default, a submissive or slave who professionally sexually serves does so for both tangible rewards [profit] and intangible rewards, [pleasure from serving] or she could not be considered a slave/submissive. Just a note here about the term 'Daddy'. It likely originated in the gay community, however years ago and still now, 'working girls' referred to men they were in a personal relationship with, or to someone who sincerely cared about their well being as their 'Daddy'. Similarly, I've heard many a bikers' 'old lady', particularly if they were strippers, refer to them as 'Daddy' as well as their 'old man' when I was a nite manager of a few strip clubs years ago. I don't remember the term Daddy Dom back when initially exposed to BDSM in the 80s when swingers shunned us, or anyone into B&D or S 'n M as 'too far out there', I think ageplay and the Daddy Dom was a BDSM invention when it became a trendy thing to do for the cyber world... Then again, maybe I just wasn't exposed to that end of it back in the 80s...
