I laughed so hard when I wrote what you wrote, not in a bad way, because to an extent you would have to evaluate each indivdual. So let use evaluate the degree of nuttiness! The religious person, the fear they have does not in anyway affect their chance of survival, unless the only source of food left in the world was pork. When we evaluate fear versus acting out extreme fantasy desires, like amputation, we should, if you so desire, take into account the switching off of our survival instinct. If the person chose death versus eating pork then I would say yes there is an issue. Person who fasted himself to death is an issue as well. (remeber this is my opinion) When we override our instinct to survive or stay out of imminent danger we are stepping ito a zone that is counter intuitive to species survival but I also understand that all of this based on pespective. If someone views being an amputee as a positive and desireable endeavor, then their perspective on the world is completely diffrent from mine. Conversely, it must be understood that the world is not based on the indivdual perspective. We are governed by macro and micro social group persepctives. The Macro world views "most"of the people BDSM world as broken toys, mental cases, predators or as the decay of the moral fabric of the indivdual. In our "micro" Bdsm world, we are broken up into RACK, SSC, YKINOK, or whatever acronym is being used today. Then we are further subdivided into groups like TES, Dark Connections, Dark Rose, insert local club name or what have you. The division continues into, are you a spanker, a diaper lover, an AB, do you like scat play or are toy TPE. Hell, even our fringe play has fringes! All I am saying is common sense is not so common. We tend to play devil's advocate so much, to protect what we love doing, that I wonder if we are just reciting our beliefs and counter arguements in a pavlovian manner. Just take look at most peoples' hard limits: No Kids No animals No scat No piss No blood No permant damage (just some that are usually listed in the top 10 that I have seen) I would list scat, piss and blood play as being a personal preferance but the rest has some concrete reasoning as to why they should not occur. But I would also like to say, I understand why someone who shy away from that whole list. (edit removal of TOS issue) ack.. have to leave be back in a few hours
