ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross On the other hand, I think future generations will be a lot happier to just enjoy the kink without feeling the need to be "serious" about Ds- not that they won't enjoy Ds or Ms dynamics, I just get the feeling we'll have a lot more people content to be bottoms and not peer pressured to be "more" as a sub. And, for that matter, a lot more people content to be doms and subs and not be pressured to be "more" as a top or bottom. I have to admit, I'm seriously starting to research where, exactly, the waters got so muddied (obviously long before me). In my historical research, it seems pretty clearly true that at one point it really was all about kinky sex. I'm wondering when all the relationship dynamic crap got tossed in. Or, alternately, was it always buried in there all along and it's only in very recent times that there's enough volume in the system to make these sorts of distinctions interesting and relevant? This is neat though, MaST is coming up next weekend and there's a few old-timers there. I've got some questions to ask now. I love asking history questions of the long-term fixtures.. not only do you get answers, but typically with very colorful stories to go along with them.
