ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant the idea of exposing the sexual/intimate nature of the dynamic to your children...even your grown children...strikes them as squicky. And in all honesty...speaking for myself only here as a male...I know my female ums are having sex; one of them even made me a grandfather BUT I don't really need to hear, let alone see, how they do it. I don't think Calla is beating the servants in front of the kids. In one of her posts, Calla did mention that there may indeed be bottoming going on within the house while her kids are there and they may witness it. That part bothers me. ~shrugs~ my feelings on the matter. If I am mistaken, then perhaps Calla will note that to me. quote:
I think it is more that they are witnessing, to me at least, everyday expressions of who/what the servants are. I do not see an issue with that anymore than i see an issue with them seeing a married couple hold hands or call each other dear. It is possible, even admirable, to be able to freely be who you are without exposing others to acts that are intimate. But then again i raised all 3 of mine in a biker poly M/s household. That does not mean they witnessed inappropriate acts. It means the did see the basic, affectionate behavior involved in the dynamic. Like me always waiting on their dad. So what, i've seen my bi switch daughter holding hands with her partner. And guess what, all of my grown kids are open, respectful, tolerant, responsible people. All three own their own homes, are college grads, one is a nurse, one is a veterinarian, one is a corporate vice president. Only one is in the lifestyle while two are bi. I guess if it squicks you out, well then it does. None of what you wrote above squicks me out. I have no problem watching my daughters kiss and cuddle their boyfriends and can even smile a bit when I see a hand slipped surreptitiously over my daughters' asses or their boyfriends' bulges. I expect them to have no problem with watching me kiss and hug and touch...at one time...their mother OR any other woman I am involved with. But no...I don't expect them to have to endure watching me spank a clothed, semi-clothed, or naked, grown woman in front of them and I don't care to watch them beat/be beat by, fuck or suck their partners. If my words came across as not being able to tolerate anything more than prim and proper, than I wrote them wrong. And you haven't read many of my other posts. [;)] quote:
I would rather associate with folks who can be accepting about all the varied, wonderful, different ways of loving that life has to offer. It almost sounds to me, from the posters who this upsets to one degree or another, that any demonstration or evidence out of the ordinary vanilla realm, is not something to be displayed. And while that is all fine and good, twice...some believe that exposing others to the BDSM part of the dynamic, whether it be topping or bottoming or dominant/submissive play, is involving others without their consent. And while it may be fine to do it in public/private in front of other like-minded individuals who get it, I have no desire...as I've stated before...to do it in front of my family members or others who do not. I don't think that makes me close-minded...or my friends or family members close-minded...it just makes us all aware of the societal rules WE have chosen to follow. quote:
CD, you say you are a grandpa (kudos btw, aren't grandkids wonderful, i have five myself) so you know but just do not want to witness the act. Don't you ever see your child and their mate kissing or holding hands? Why is that intimacy different than one of Calla's servants bringing her a drink respectfully in front of her grown kids? I've answered the above in regards to observing what goes on between my kids and their partners and what they have observed. I disagree that the intimacy of affection between loving partners is different than the intimacy of a servant delivering a drink to their boss/master/mistress/owner.
