The sky is falling chicken little. Having been on the sub side a longgg time ago-they can just walk. And there is not jack the Top can do about it.

Who said that they were? I think what some people forget is that not everyone is the same. There are good people and bad throughout every walk of life in every orientation of life. So your friend committed herself to her Master/husband and the relationship went bad. She needs to decide if it's worth staying. I understand that 30 years is a long time and I wouldn't end it lightly, however, if he was being "cruel and inhumane" then end it I would.

What is consensual is what two adults agree is ok to do/have done to them. In “the lifestyle” there are things that are beyond the law that IMO if all parties involved agree is, acceptable, then it’s consensual and it’s ok. Unless it’s a bad situation subs/slaves always have the right to leave if something is done to them they didn’t or don’t consent to.

its consensual and what's consensual (or SSC or RACK or whatever) between two adults doesn't mean a hill of beans in the eyes of the law, if your friend is being assaulted, she needs to contact the police generally, you can't really consent to assault so it doesn't mean a thing legally

DarkSteven -> RE: just what is contsentual ? (7/28/2008 6:26:49 AM)
This is the other side of trust. Obviously, if a slave/sub is being Topped, he or she must have full trust in his or her Top. Afterwards, the Top must have full trust in the bottom. Should the bottom run to the authorities and make a claim, the Top is dead meat. A signed contract, verbal agreements, proof that what happened was within agreed-upon limits - all of it will be a very weak defense.

In the state of Texas, consensual is whenever the submissive says "yes" and the play does not result in death or dismemberment. In the eyes of the law, those limits are set by the submissive and can be moved by creative use of the words "Yes" "No" and "Stop". However, the submissive is advised to be fairly articulate: a judge and jury would have a field day sorting through expressed intent if the submissive says "Don't! Stop!" and the dominant hears "Don't stop!" Once the submissive says "no"/"stop", he or she has several rights. The submissive can walk. The submissive can run. The submissive can call the cops (if the dominant refuses to stop).

Sometimes relationships go bad. BDSM may add more tools to the repertoire, but it doesn't -cause- people to have problems or make them more prevalent. Calla Firestorm

Consensual is consensual... everyone consents to what is going on. If something is happening that hasn't been agreed to, it's time to evaluate the wisdom of staying in the relationship--evaluate FAST, then get your arse out the door... the time it takes to make three breaths is about the right 'consideration period' for me. To me, consent is the only true 'dealbreaker'... if everyone didn't agree to it and someone wants to try to force it to happen anyway... well... "wantin' ain't gettin' like fartin' ain't shittin" and don't let the door hit ya on the ass on the way out. Calla Firestorm

Its like this: I consent to faceslapping in the context of play. Sometimes, the guy I'm playing with slaps too hard and I shake my head hard, make eye contact and give him a dirty look. He accepts that. Its his choice to accept that, and its my choice to decide whether or not to keep playing with him. He is free to find someone with a higher tolerance for face slapping but, for the time being, seems ok with lightly slapping my face in a symbolic gesture of dominance. We do bondage the same way. For a variety of reasons, mostly having to do with a D/s relationship that went bad--where light, playful faceslapping evolved into something terrifying, I do not consent to faceslapping as a means of behavioral control or punishment because its fucking scary to me and would trigger a fight or flight response. And I don't consent to faceslapping on a whim. Thats scary too and walking on eggshells is a shitty way to be. I know the difference. My current play partner is learning the difference. If he wasn't capable of grasping the difference, we wouldn't be playing together. Though, when you get right down to it, its a judgement call. For me it revolves around fear: If I'm submitting out of nothing more than fear, no matter how complete my submission, its time for me to evaluate the relationship. In my mind, fear nullifies consent.

In the eyes of the law consent doesn't mean jack when it comes to bdsm. A submissive has a right to........ walk away involve the law stay in the relationship have the Dom's knee caps blown off Just kidding about the last one [:D]
