ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady As for it having nothing to do with BDSM, if it didn't, those people wouldn't be on this site. Just sayin. Greetings Mistress, This site also has an "Art and Photography" section, a "Creative Writing" section, a "Humor" section, and even a "Politics and Religion" section, yet nobody would consider those things to fall under the umbrella of BDSM, just because they appear on this site. It is rather the case that a lot of people who enjoy BDSM also seem to enjoy exploring these things, even though the things themselves have nothing directly in common with BDSM. I would suggest that the Gorean section on CollarMe is much the same. Gorean philosophy has no real connections with BDSM. There are, in fact, a lot of strictly Gorean sites out there that have no BDSM section at all; where talk about slaves, slavery, whips, sex and things like that are frowned upon, and not welcomed, and were talk about things involved in BDSM are most defiantly not welcomed. However, at the same time, there are many Goreans -though not even most- who enjoy engaging in activities also enjoyed by BDSM folks, and there are also many Goreans -though again, not most- who enjoy keeping slaves, and discussing slaves. Because of this, a Gorean section on a BDSM site isn't inappropriate, just like a "Politics and Religion" sections on a BDSM site isn't inappropriate if the members of said BDSM site happen to enjoy discussions about such topics. I do not understand why a mutual interest in thing from two different groups of people would imply that all interests of both groups are identical. So could you please explain why the presents of a Gorean section on this site, to you, proves that Gorean is a subset of BDSM? I wish you well, ishy
