ORIGINAL: lustiwench I destest the idea that 'we mustn't do that it will scare the newbies'. If a little light play such as toy testing as KinghtofMists described or a Dom or Master disciplining his sub/slave scares them, then they probably shouldn't be there to begin with. This is supposedly what they want to be involved in, why would it scare them? Just maybe, if munches reflected a bit more of who and what we are, whatever that might be, instead of pretending to be something we aren't, we might not have so many vanilla's involved in the lifestyle, whatever that may mean to you, just because it's all the rage and the latest fad right now. Don't get me wrong, I think all should be welcome that want to attend, but if what they are attending is going to scare them, well they will have to decide if it's just to scary to continue or it was a thrilling scare and they want more. BTW...it's also considered bad manners to impose your ideals on others as the only twue and right way. I agree with you in principle. If we must restrict ourselves in Munches that are in venues that are Lifestyle for the sake of newbies. Must we also restrict our play in the Public Dungeon Space for the sake of newbies. I understand and do appreciate that there is a social consideration in our actions when we are in a Mainstream Environment in particular. Behaviors we choose to act on will have consequences, good or bad. However, lifestyle events held in seclusion of mainstream society shouldn't be restricted because it might scare the newbie. I can understand the need to restrict certain behaviors/acts that are required to keep the mainstream authorities out of the lifestyle environment. IE. we have certain Play rules in the Public Play Group that I help Organize. They are first and foremost to keep the authorites out. If I would of restricted my play because of newbies.. well denika would of likely not paid much attention to me at all. Since her first public event was a Public play party and she watch me beat the hell out of my alandra. She was actually attracted to my sadistic intensity, just the kind of girl I like *G* I respect Kev's right to discipline in whatever manner he and his girl deem consensual. My attendence to any lifestyle event is my consent that lifestyle behaviors are going to occur. If I don't like it.. I will leave. If I deem it Unsafe or unconsensual, I will confront. But I will not be judgemental of ones right to discipline in a consensual relationship, it is their way not mine. His and her consequences not mine! It is irrelevant how most munches do it. It is irrelevant how most relationships do it. What matters it is their way!! a Consensual Way! Have at her... she screwed up.. I would of been highly disaoppointed as well and consequences for the misbehavior would of been swift, but done in MY WAY, not how others think it should be done.
