MzMia -> Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:18:21 PM)

Is there a difference between having sex, and in assisting someone in acting out their fantasies
without engaging in sex?
Bill Maher just asked this question because of an escort service that helps men act out
their fantasies with no touching allowed.
This made me think of Professional Dominants, in similar situations.

IF there is no difference, would you be upset if your partner was secretly going to a Professional
Dominant and having encounters, even though they did not have sex?

Seriously, what do you think the difference is?

It's not about the sex to me, it's the secrets.  I don't care if they never physically touch at all- if it's being hidden, then it's a problem.

The fact that our society says "It's ok to scrap plaque out of arteries as a way to help someone but no way should her hands be on your penis" is just totally ridiculous.

to me there is because there's a few fantasies I have that have nothing to do with sex acts. The said helper can fufil these fantasies and fufilling these things has nothing to do with his dick. Not all fantasies involve sex acts.

Just curious, how would they help someone act out their fantasies without touching?  Internet?  Mere conversation?  When you say "sex" do you mean intercourse?

I think it's rather common to find people that bdsm and/or d/s isn't actually sexual for them so I would guess they are actually helping someone act out their fantasies without sex often.  I personally had a play partner who didn't engage in actual intercourse in a casual relationship.  However, that didn't change the fact that it was still very much sex to me. 

If my monogamous partner was engaging in behavior that was sexual to them even without actual intercourse without my knowlege would that still be cheating?  Yes.  Whether they get to first base or home plate the intent is the same and I would be very worried for our relationship that they felt the need to seek out others.   However,  while I'm not poly, I can't say I wouldn't say no others if we discussed it at length and agreed to the perameters.

I don't know.

All my fantasies involve sex of some sort.  Maybe I'm a perv? :(

Respectfully,

Amy

Exactly. My relationship is not s upposed to have secrets , and things hidden on behalf of either of us, so to find out it did, well it require some serious talking and serious thinking.

It's not always about sex; sometimes it's about something much more deeper than that.



MzMia -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:30:19 PM)

I understand fantasies are not always about sex.
BUT, we are talking about an "escort service" where the women help the clients
act out their fantasies, but do not have sexual intercourse.
 
Are they crossing the line?
Is there no line to cross?

Again my question is how do they do it?  By directing them who to seek out?  By just talking?  An inperson phone sex type thing?

Suppose their fantasies do not involve sex?

Just because you are using the term 'escort service' does not mean that it automatically MUST include sexual encounters.



MzMia -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:33:09 PM)

Oh they are in hotel rooms, etc.
This is person to person contact--in person and alone.

It still does not mean that they have to have sexual contact



YourhandMyAss -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:37:39 PM)

If the person going to the service is lying to their partner about what they were doing and where they were going, or were never questiond about the gaps in availible time, however simply never said is it ok if I go or hey btw........... what do you think, yes they're crossing a line in my book.

Why some might ask? Because in my eyes play time with others even non sexual should never be a hidden thing from your partner

So basically one person is self masturbating to the tune of the others communication/commands/suggestions/actions without physical contact?  Yeah, it's still sexual to my partner, so if they are hiding it, it's a problem.  Besides, communicating the desire to see someone else and the needs that aren't being met  is what's important to the relationship.

It's like phone sex but in person...lol...either would be an issue to me if it's hidden.  I wonder if anyone actually pays for this?



MzMia -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:38:34 PM)

Did I say they had sexual contact?
 
My question is, what is the difference?



JulieorSarah -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:43:04 PM)

i have a fantasy to walk into Tiffany's and point to some exquisite piece of jewellry - if some one wants to assist me with that - yes please.

if the fantasy you fulfill gives sexual gratification, like any fetish, it's a form of sex for that person and becomes an act of sex.

The questions asked were

What is the difference between helping someone act out their fantasies and engaging in sexual acts?
 
As explained above depends on the fantasies, if the outcome for the someone being helped is sexual gratification, to me there's no difference.

IF there is no difference, would you be upset if your partner was secretly going to a Professional
Dominant and having encounters, even though they did not have sex?

I'd be upset if my partner was secretly doing anything that may jeopardise 'us'. 
Doing something that to them has value, without letting me know that it's important to them. 
yes i'd be upset.

Seriously, what do you think the difference is?
LuckyAlbatross covered it brilliantly - it's the secretly that blows it.
 
i've just run out of my 2c worth!




MsPleasure -> RE: Acting on Fantasies without engaging in Sex Vs. Sexual Acts? (11/11/2007 10:46:44 PM)

I don't engage in intercourse with any subs.  But touching is involved in the form of spankings, strap, etc
