ORIGINAL: MystressDream Interestingly enough, a very good friend of mine is a Dom who moved to this country from Europe. The part of Europe he lived in had a BDSM community that believed in training for people new to the scene or lifestyle. One of the things they used were very subtle hand signals to communicate. His example was you can get on a bus, one person will give a subtle signal, and if the other person is into this, they will signal back. If they aren't, they don't have a clue that you just communicated in any way. He went on to show me hand signals they used to indicate Top/bottom, bondage, whips, desire to meet and talk, etc. As he said, you could get on a bus, know if someone is into bondage, whether they are a D or s, Top or bottom, and whether they would like to meet and talk after leaving the bus.... all without anyone else on the bus even knowing you have communicated. It has been fun to learn and use when a slave is serving in high protocol because we also use hand signals for "drink", "kneel", etc. Those subtle little hand signals would be wonderful if they were used all over, but, they are not. And, when we can't even agree on the definition of Dominant and/or submissive, how in the hell would we EVER agree on a universal way of communicating with hand signals?? lol Actually kind of funny to think about.... yet, it sure would be nice if it was adopted and accepted. Just not possible. was your friend trained in a 5000 year old House? did he have anything to back up his stories besides his stories? Over here in the states we have this elaborate system of silent signals too...they're called hankerchiefs.
