mistoferin, thanks for the explaination.




mistoferin -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 10:10:29 AM)

You're welcome.




HalloweenWhite -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 10:54:46 AM)

Fair enough. But......the point I was making was that it's not something I would consider, I don't however judge what goes on in -other people's- relationship, hence the "but to each there own" comment.

Sure, just go to any battered women's shelter and they'll tell you how much they enjoyed getting beat up

Hello,

I'm sorry - I guess I must be confused.  You aren't *really* trying to equate consensual SM with domestic violence are you?

Take care,

Peggy

Hello,

For me, being loved and cherished including my partner doing things to me that I enjoy.  One of the things I enjoy happens to be having the crap kicked out of me.  If my partner didn't want to play at that level with me, I probably wouldn't feel loved and cherished.

I really think you need to consider the concept that your "loved and cherished" definition is not the same as it is for other folks - and that's ok.  However for you to basically say that one can't be loved and cherished if one gets the crap kicked out of them is unfair to people who express affection differently than you do.  You are welcome to your own reality, but leave mine to me.

Take care,

Peggy

Ditto

I remember the first week that I was my Lord's slave and we had sex that did not include any pain.  I cried and I was worried that he didn't love me and that he didn't want me.  Inflicting and recieving pain is one way we show affection to each other.

Why not? He already tried to equate it with child abuse.




mistoferin -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 11:54:48 AM)

I believe that he was responding to daddysprop's statement that she is punched and kicked out of anger and as a means of discipline and punishment. I believe it is not unreasonable to connect such a statement with domestic violence.




velvetears -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 12:01:29 PM)

i would be interested to know, from those who posted that they like and engage in this kind of impact play, if they had any similar experiences as children (being beaten up with fists and kicks) or were they never abused physically as children. i ask this because as a child i was physically abused my an older bully brother from the time i can remember and he would also force me to fight (bare fisted), kneeling on a mattress in the hallway of our apt building with another girl, the guys watching would place bets on who would win (first to cry was the looser).  i was always threatened if i lost he would beat the crap out of me.  He would beat me up weekly to the point i sometimes had to literally crawl back to my room and drag myself up onto my bed. i would be covered in bruises and the anger and rage i felt at not being able to have any control was hard to deal with. 

i try not to judge anyones kink, and i would never comment if i ever witnessed something that squicked me, but just the thought of witnessing this kind of play can literally make my heart race and feel anxious.  It's very difficult to be non judgmental of something, when you experienced the same thing, but in a brutal and abusive manner.  i personally know people who engage in this kind of play, they are loving and as bonded as anyone i have ever seen together.  i know it's not abuse but i still cannot bear to witness it, nevermind ever being someones punching bag, consentually. 




MellowSir -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 12:04:19 PM)

I was wondering how the sub/slave knows for sure that their dom does it out of love and not anger, I'm sure that in the women's shelters many would say that they stayed because they were sure that their partner "loved" them.....and no, I don't equate every situation with domestic violence, I do know that when the vanilla world sees such things(and hardcore is mostly what they see), that it is what gives bdsm a bad rep.....for every violent dominant there is a gentle one.....

I was not abused as a child and before meeting my Lord, I had not been punched outiside of a dojo and I had never been kicked (unless you count a horse).  I was threatened once by a neighborhood bully that she was going to hit me with a stick.  I punched her in the nose, bloodied it and ran home crying. 

As a teenager, I was raped and to watch or experience that type of scene I think would put me in a bad head space.  I am not able to communicate "no" in anyway, even if it is playful, without some serious emotional backlash if the action doesn't stop.  That makes resistence play somewhat tricky for me, but I know that many others enjoy it and I am glad that they have a way to express their kink and find pleasure.

I was never physically abused as a child. My father taught every one of us kids how to box, starting about the same time we learned to walk. We were never pitted against each other. We were also taught the significant responsibility that goes along with such a skill. Out of the 4 of us I am the only one who pursued it at a higher level.

Ummm. Because he talks about it, because its pretty obvious when someone you live with is angry. I have lived with this man for almost 8 years. I know when he is angry vs being sadistic because it turns him on and gets him hard. It is how he is wired.

i was never beaten in an abusive way as a child. i received a handful of "whoopin's"...a few lashes with a belt or more often the switch (a skinny branch from a tree), for bad behavior, but that's about it. nothing even remotely resembling the beatings i receive from my Master now.

velvetears, i am saddened to hear of what you endured as a child, and it helps me to better understand your perspective on this subject. tho perhaps there are those out there with similar backgrounds, who are able to engage in the same activities now (punching and kicking) in a positive and healthy way because the motivations and intentions are different, and who knows, it may even be therapeutic.

i'd like to approach this from perhaps a different perspective than most: love and anger are not mutually exclusive. actions done out of love and actions done out of anger can be one and the same. for instance, if my Master beats me as punishment, there may be some anger and/or frustration there, mingled in with his disappointment in me for my poor behavior or mistake. beating me serves as a release for his anger as much as it is a retribution for me. however at the same time the only reason he is punishing me at all is because of his love for me, and the fact that he cares so much. so during a beating like this i will simultaneously feel his anger and his love, because it is all intermingled and part of what makes our dynamic so special.

I was not abused as a child, however; I have a really bad temper and would often find myself on the receiving and giving end of a good fist fight. Quite honestly, when I first met my late husband ( I was almost 19 at the time ), I was headed in one of two directions. Either prison, or death...that's how bad my temper and my attitude were at that time. Engaging in this kind of activity with him helped alot towards me learning HOW to CONTROL the violent temper that to this day, I still do have.

You know, you have this really annoying habit of insisting that anything YOU don't agree with or participate in HAS to be awful, bad, or abusive. For the love of God...lighten up a bit and broaden your knowledge base of other people.

I know for a fact that he loved me; even when we were engaged in a brutal, drop-down-drag-out fist-feet-fight. Sometimes, it is only through the love we feel for each other that we can allow ourselves to do things that we would other wise find abhorrent.




Faramir -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 2:28:51 PM)

I don't do punching or deep impact sort of stuff as part of my erotic interaction with my little girl, and with previous partners, it hasn't been a turn on.  Face-slapping has enormous erotic content for me, along with crushing genitals/breasts with my hands, but punching isn't part of my symbology in BDSM .  I've been prety ferociosu on this subject not because it's where I am, but because I'm truly befuddled by crazy double standard all the squipmunks, like the OP, evince.

I have punched though before in a D/s sense.  I've had a couple partners for whom being struck when they were not in a submissive space, physicaly and psychically put them there.  Being popped in the gut and folding up onto the deck gasping, completely readjusted their headspace.  In particular I am thinking of a partner who was angry at me over a comment I had made that day, and was just a cunt all night long.  At the end of the evening, after we said goodbye to our guests, she turned to me and made another sarcastic comment, and I popped her and dropped her.  It instantly put her back in her place--those were her words, "You put me back in my place."  She melted, was instantly back in her usual submissive place, and was able to talk to me about what had upset her (which had totally baffle dme before).

Maybe I am an abusive asshole--wait, I am an asshole--that is to say, maybe I am abusive and evil and bad and whatnot.  But I look back at these two girls in my life, and for them, harsh physical corrections when they were spinning off their axis were very centering experiences.  In a pragmatic sense, it worked.  I've had other partners (the majority) for whom that didn't feel right, and we didn't do that sort of thing.  My best undersatnding though is that for some, to be struck and physically "put in their place" is a good thing.




Archer -> RE: Punching your sub/slave? (7/6/2007 2:53:40 PM)

I love doing Deep Impact as SM, I avoid similar activities as a matter of punishment, simply a choice I make.
I need the seperation between this and a few other types of SM and discipline for my own reasons.

Still seeing huge running broad jumps to conclusions, though.
Closed fist must be abussive, but hitting them with a stick is OK? man the twisted logic it must take to get that.

Bottom line that keeps being jumped over by so many is abuse is not about what one does or does not get hit with, it is about infromed consent, and the motivations for what people are doing.
One can be abussive without any hitting at all, or with hitting with anything from bare handed to bullwhips.
