I don't know where my good friend Bita found her quote about masochists, but I have a page open, which says things like:

Here is the link to the essay that Bita posted in the other thread http://web.archive.org/web/20010801160524/www.castlerealm.com/subspace/subspace.htm

Since we're debating some of the Castle Realm ideas, for the sake of fairness, I would be interested in someone posting a few of the more "out there" essays that were found there for debate as opposed to solely the ones that do contain some practical and truthful information.

Maybe the stuff about the BDSM Houses that was up there awhile ago....if anyone can find it.

Mythbusters had a few interesting opinions on that, but unfortanely I lost all my links in my computer crash so can't share it.

Thanks to ownedgirlie and Daddyncherry.

to others:
I also recall an article on Castle Realm that was something like "Can I still be a submissive and not like pain?"
That was something I needed.
I'm not a masochist, and I don't like pain -- BUT I DO like the power exchange flow of dependence and energy that comes from it. It enriched my submissive feelings, deepened my trust, and brought about a greater intimacy for me and my Dominant. I seem to need to be made to have to endure things I don't like in order to arrive at the place I want to be.

Still, the article never even implied that her view was the only "right" view. In contrast, she was answering her own inner burning questions and doubts about whether she was "wrong".

Just a thought.

No, I believe the original meaning of bdsm was dominance bondage sado masochisim.

The mental forms as as valid as the physical ones when looking at authority dynamics. It was the whack job women who read it as thier bible that made ME hurl.

Absolutely. No matter what one is reading, watching or hearing, if they can't thoughtfully do that then no one can be blamed but them. Oh but someone without a world of knowledge about BDSM might read that and think it's all hearts and roses. So? Someone might watch "Jackass" and attempt the stunts. No accounting for one's IQ and what one does with info they take in. That doesn't negate the value some found in the writings there.

I rather like hearts & roses

, I could describe my relationship with my dom as such. It is loving and fun. There is a lot of romance and I find nothing wrong with that. We don't do pain play or public scening because it isn't something he or I want. I don't understand the depth of the anger this thread has shown from some people, so what if it isn't 'their' thing?It very well could be someone elses thing. I found that site long long before CM, if I had stumbled across CM first it would have been a huge turn off for me. There is a ton of stuff here that I'm not into but there is also a lot of good stuff I take away. I guess I have a blend of both which is just the way I like it.

i was at my munch group at night and some people were talking about how how they couldn't get on Castle Realm. Does anyone know what happened to it ? It was such a wonderful site. One of the best educational sites i've ever seen. i've recommended to people curious about the lifestyle.

rick

Rick,
Thanks for starting this thread. I had an email in my private mail just this morning reqesting info about CR and thanks to the informative posters here I was able to pop in some archive links. I had a pc that crashed years ago (no back-up

) and lost a bunch of the links and info that were loaded up on that pc. Aol used to mess with my pc, and their 'techs' made it crash.

happy reading...

Irish

And you know from experience that when those like that DO COME HERE and post about shit like that; I have no sympathy for them either. I tell them all the same thing. Grow a fucking backbone

Well, ya got me there

quote:

But at least, they are not being told here that there is only one way to do things and if if does not go that way, then it's wrong and abusive

Sometimes they are. But, on the whole, that's not the usual mindset of most folks here, I can agree with that. But, I tend to see the opposite happening sometimes. Not so much is point-blank called wrong or abusive but, oftentimes, alot is dismissed as BDSM "lite" or not hardcore enough. Just kind of the flip-side of what some folks are complaining about as far as Castle Realm. But, on the whole, it is pretty balanced here. I like it

Same here ,camille. It's very loving and blissful

We are into pain play but definitely not public activities. As you say, if neither of you want it, why kid yourselves?

I don't understand it either. Getting that angry over what pleases someone else is indicative of deeper issues, I believe. As long as it doesn't impact me - and it really never does - I say more power to them. Only when my own preferences are demeaned do I care enough to get angry. Even then, I know I shouldn't but it's hard not to many times.........luci
