Faramir I wonder if you might do us all the honour of answering  me this, When playing with your girl what exactly was it that made you insanely hot??  maybe Im not reading your post in the way you intended! but I don't feel this explained to us whether you got hot over what happened to her or you got hot over helping her with this fantasy. I think these are two very different things.


What happened to her didn't arouse me--it made me sad, angry and wish somehow I could help her.  I wept for the child she was, for the harm she suffered, and even more than the abuse, the silencing her family did to keep that abuse secret.  That struck me as even more sinful and more damaging than the abuse itself.

What was hot was our interaction, her response to me.  When I screamed at her, knocked her around the room, she responded with a sexual frenzy and devoted compliance that touched my sexuality exactly and perfectly in the right spot.  Not close, not sorta, but right where I am.  When I grabbed her by the throat, yanked this lithe young dancer in the air and slammed her against the wall, jammed my hand under her school skirt and found her "knickers" soaked, saw in her eyes complete acquiesence, I was on fire in response.  For most of the night she was shaking in terror and lust, sick with a desire to be good for me, fuck back, suck, spread her cheeks fo rme, do anything.  That incredible, compliant and sexualized response makes me catch on fire also.

I don't even know what that was--it wasn't ageplay.  My ageplay, what I fantasize about, and have role-played with partners, is she's my 17 year old daughter, sexual and in love with Daddy, so hot for her Daddy she fantasizes about his cock at school and masturbates in the bathroom stalls thinking about what it would be like to please him.  Totally hakneyed but man that works for me.

What I did with this girl was more like rape-play than age-play to me, although she was clearly in a little space.

The bottom line for me here is that Copulo is full of crap, making this arbitrary distiction between a kink she doesn't have and kink's she has.  I do fantasize a lot about teenage girls--that does not make me a rapist.  Two nights ago an"18" year old girl contacted me here at CM, we chatted for a while, turns out she's 16.  I'm not a rapist, and since a 16 year old girl can't give consent, that was the end of our conversation.

You know what the punchline is?  I looked at her profile today--she's owned now with a Master.  I wonder if he is as open as I am about ageplay?  Or did she decide to lie?


First, to be very, very clear, I'm not attacking you, Faramir, or anyone else.  I have some concerns about the situation you describe, however (and I've been in a similar place myself). My concern is this- what you describe sounds very much like a situation of traumatic dissociation/regression. IF that's what it was, your partner is/was an abuse victim, and your rough play triggered a non-volitional response, activating a dissociated part connected to an earlier episode of abuse. This is actually a pretty common occurence, and my concern is not to accuse you of impropriety or condemn anyone involved in anyway, it's merely to suggest that however much fun and satisfaction either or both participants in such a situation may recieve, it tends strongly to be part of an ongoing pattern that reinforces the original damage. The immediate effects may feel wonderful all around, but by becoming connnected to that dynamic, you can easily (to put it gently) become connected in her unconscious with the negative aspects of her abuse as well as the 'hot' ones, which tends to fuck up any relationship.
Personally, I have no 'moral' axe to grind regarding age play, but on a practical level it always puts me on alert regarding the kinds of issues that may be driving an age-players interest in the area. Understanding these issues is important to avoiding becoming part of whatever problems may exist.

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.

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.

Isn't this the very basic distinction we expect from others, even newbies and beginners? Then how come some of you, with all your profiles and relationships and experience and roles and such defined are still struggling to make that very basic distinction?

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?

For those who wish to read up more about transactional analysis please visit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_analysis

Now really boys and girls, is it really so serious to get so wound up over?

I think those are very valid concerns, and I think it may have been the case.

I am not getting wound up Stella. Frustrated at times yes, but wound up is not constructive to debate and I think for the most part a good debate is what we have had here.
I have repeatedly said throughout this thread that for the most part ‘age play’ is a healthy outlet. I have never said at any time in this thread that I do not condone age play. What I have said is that certain peoples motives for wanting, desiring age play may not be as savoury as we would like to think. There are different views on that statement. Some people think there is nothing wrong with pre-pubesant fantasy (On the daddy part) others have said there is. Some people have got very upset and defensive and accused me of being an intolerant bigot but I can take that on the head. I kind of expected it.
Have my thoughts changed? Am I a convert? Nope! But that was not what this thread was all about (converting people that is) it was about views, opinions and I think we have had plenty of good ones.

And I have not said anything of the sort. I have said that I understand age play to a degree and I have said that most people into age play are doing it for the right reasons.

Like you I think there are many thousands of age players that are doing this with good intention but unfortunately there is a minority that are not.


I think that in most of your posts you have said that you don't want to encourage fantasies of sex with actual underage children out of hand. However, the tone of many of your posts comes across that anyone who has those fantasies is wrong, and that is where I disagree. I think that it may be hard to accept - undoubtedly. I think that as a mother, being cautious about taking someone who admits to those fantasies into your home and meeting your young female children is wise.

But saying that ageplayers who admit to those fantasies are not doing it for the right reasons? I disagree. I think that someone with actual fantasies about sex with children who recognizes it is unhealthy and attempts to control it through consensual age play with another adult is doing it for many many RIGHT reasons. They recognize it is not right to act out those fantasies in truth, they are admitting who and what they are, and they are taking steps to prevent themselves from becoming dangers to children. And I think that anyone who engages in age play with them will likely have good intentions. Some will be honestly clueless and have no awareness. But to choose to engage with someone like that in age play as a conscious choice to help them control desires that are unacceptable, unpalatable,  and immoral in our current society? I think those intentions are very good.

I won't say that I wouldn't encourage such a person to a good therapist also, but I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater because you personally have reservations about interacting with one of those individuals.

A sentiment I often read on these forums but moreso on profiles is the "I don't play games" position. I'm wondering with all these non-players in bdsm, how come so many of these deviant practices end in the word "play"?

i.e. age-Play...
Age-play doesn't sound like play at all, sounds like either a gloss-over of massive age disparity between two people (which can be difficult and yet entertaining in many respects), or a compensatory wierdness from earlier abuse. But it doesn't sound like fun, i.e. play.

Dominus Sancti,

Nope not worth getting all hot under the collar for.............but a simple question was asked and SOME of those who replied decided to get their knickers/underpants in a twist!! Hence a few verbal attacks and several bouts of bad feeling.  Like I have said to you Stella in a past forum/debate on another bdsm site.....Live and let live

Thank you for your explanation and for answering my question, this now makes so much more sense but the following part really confuses me,

 I just wonder why you have felt the need to sling personal insults at someone who just wanted to hear opinions, to say someone is "full of crap" is rather defensive I feel. Do you need to feel defensive?

To have differing points of view is good, and all these different perspectives put into the mix  helps us all see things from other points of view, Would it not be simpler to discuss and not act as if there is a personal vendetta against someone who has been open enough to start a discussion on a controversial subject.

A real paedophile, be that potential or ongoing is not into kink, neither is it a fetish . Paedophilia is a personality disorder and as such is a mental illness.
There is very specific help for paedophiles that needs to be dealt with by experts. Paedophiles are dangerous around our UM's

You're confusing insult and criticism.  "Copulo is a stupid poopy-panthead" is an insult.  "Copulo is full of crap in X position for Y reason" is criticism. 

There is no personal vendetta--were Copulo to post something thoughtful or wise, I'd engage that post on it's own terms.

Oh FFS.  How about when you said, for starters:


One does not have to commit an act to be diagnosed as a pedophile
Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent UM or Ums  (generally age 13 years or younger) is enough to diagnose someone as a pedophile.
So, someone who really gets off on imagining someone is the age their partner portrays themselves to be and who gets sexually turned on by that thought/image that is being created, is not someone who would be necessarily  safe with your daughters.
Like it or not thats the facts


You remember now?  And that was when LA, MR, Elorin, Indemnis, myself et. al. explained that fantasy and desire are different.

Stick by your guns, or admit you were wrong, but for crying out loud shoot for even the smallest bit of integrity.  Like it or not thats the facts!!!

Did I say everyone?
Not everyone will act out but what if one does? Just one, that’s all that’s needed.

Give out one liners much do we?



Wow, I'm kind of knocked back by your repeated application of exclaimation marks!

So, you know.. I've read at least 3 times in this thread you've backtracked and/or contradicted yourself. 

In the general theme of the thread, one can only assume you were defending the theory that all those who have such-and-such fantasy are going to act upon such-and-such fantasy... if you weren't defending that idea, what the heck was the point of your previous post?  Yeah, so one guy you knew happened to be a pedo.. it happens.. doesn't mean BDSM roleplayers are going to go do immoral things to children just because they ask their sub to call them Daddy. 

<shrugs>  That's just my own wording, opinion, rant even.  Take it as an attack if you want... I just don't see why my opinion is worth you getting all upset over.

My post was not talking about "age play" as you define it, but specifically referred to the sentence before - fantasies about actual sex with children under the age of 18. As I said, you haven't said age play is wrong, But you are out of hand saying that anyone who has fantasies about actual sex with children under the age of 18 regardless of whether they act on those fantasies or not, regardless of whether the individual feels his fantasies are acceptable or not, regardless of any intention of following up on those fantasies is wrong. And I disagree.

There is very specific help for paedophiles that needs to be dealt with by experts. Paedophiles are dangerous around our UM's

Sadomasochism was qualified as a personality disorder in the DSM III. That's the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. There used to be very specific help for sadists and masochists that needed to be dealt with by experts. They were considered extremely dangerous, unbalanced individuals.

Now, the wisdom of the psychiatric community says that it is ONLY a disorder if it meets certain qualifications. Just having thoughts are not enough.

Don't get stuck in the definitions of a book just because something scares you. I can understand as a mother of a young girl that a person who admits "I fantasize about fucking 6, 9, 12 year olds" would scare the shit out of you.

But look at the logic. You can THINK about rape play, snuff play, bondage play, sadism, and masochism, and you do not have a personality disorder. It is when those thoughts are acted out (in the case of snuff play) or acted out non-consensually, or when those thoughts consume your life and make you imbalanced, affect your ability to function in day to day society that it becomes an illness.

Why then is it an illness to merely THINK about sex with someone under age? Is it disturbing? Yep, especially to parents. Is it WRONG? No, I don't think so. Does a medical book say it's an illness? Yep. Does that mean it is? NO NO NO. It means it is not necessarily fully understood. Should someone who finds themselves wanting to ACT on those desires get help? HELL FUCKING YEAH. Does just having those thoughts make you mentally ill? NO NO NO.

Use the same ruler for everything, that is what you are being told, with logic, with compassion, and with less than logic and compassion. Condemning someone for just thinking thoughts means that all of us should be condemned for any kink at all because of where it might go if we had no impulse control whatsoever. Allowing that sadists, masochists, rape fantasists, and others are ok as long as they don't act on their thoughts means, logically, you should afford others the same courtesy. Afford them the courtesy that just because you don't like what they fantasize about does NOT mean that they lack impulse control any more than you do.

I accept your definition. A pedophile is someone with certain thoughts.

Ok, I accept your corrected definition. A pedophile is someone with RECURRENT thoughts. Specifically, it must be recurrent, intense, and sexually arousing thoughts or urges. Someone who also acts upon those thoughts is classified under the same heading. Specifically, the thoughts are: sex with someone under the age of puberty.

quote:

So, someone who really gets off on imagining someone is the age their partner portrays themselves to be and who gets sexually turned on by that thought/image that is being created, is not someone who would be necessarily  safe with your daughters.

Absolutely, and undeniable. Unfortunately, our definition requires RECURRENT thoughts, with a time period of over 6 months. Occasional thoughts do not define a pedophile - and we are using YOUR definition of a pedophile. Also, let's be honest, our definition of a pedophile DOES NOT REQUIRE ACTION. Therefore, while your statement is true, so is it's reciprocal. Someone with those thoughts is not necessarily dangerous with your daughters.

It is a risk. Evaluate the risk at your own level of acceptability. But just because someone MIGHT be dangerous doesn't mean they are. Just because someone meets a definition which does not require action does not mean that they will TAKE THAT ACTION.

Like it or not those are the facts.

Condemning someone for just thinking thoughts means that all of us should be condemned for any kink at all because of where it might go if we had no impulse control whatsoever.

That's the crux- are individuals able to control their actions, whatever their thoughts? Having, or lacking, impulse control is not an issue associated with any particular paraphilia, it's the test that distinguishes proclivities from disorders.
Having said that, I can still see why there is greater concern about paedophilia-related issues than about plain old S and M- in the former, the prospective victims are more vulnerable, and in fact it's a huge social problem. For every out-of-control sadist that snatches victims off the streets for non-consensual torture, there are hundreds of paedophiles (and some overlap).
I don't believe that blanket condemnation of people with these 'thoughts' is an effective protection for children, but I have seen too much damage caused by paedophiles to say that they are in any sense 'okay' either.  Once a person crosses the line from thought to action in this area, they are beyond any compassion from me.

I can see it too. I do have an 8 year old girl. I fear for a pedophile to act on his urges and molest my child.

I can certainly see your point. Blanket condemnation only causes people to hide things. I don't know if I'd say that someone with thoughts of underage sex are "ok" but they certainly should be recognized for controlling their urges and NOT acting on them.

Yep yep yep yep!

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...
