theobserver -> Rorschach and BDSM (11/1/2008 1:05:31 PM)

A random question came into my head after reading the Clarity thread. One theme that was discussed in the thread, is how BDSM is personally defined by each individual who participate in the lifestyle. I was interested in doing a word association type of post, to find out what comes to your mind when certain words are thrown out. I don't know if someone has done this before here, if so I apologize in advance. So here goes, I will post 20 random words that come to my mind and I'm interested in knowing what immediately comes to your mind when you see the word. I'm very much interested in your initial thoughts. They can be one word responses to each word, a sentence or a long ramble. Edit: So as to not confuse, I answered in a post below why I originally posted the title as Rorschach and BDSM, although we are indeed technically doing word association. Both are pretty much the same and meant to produce the same outcome, just by different methods. 1. Bondage (my answer - Rope) 3. Slave (My answer - submissive) 4. Flog (my answer - leather) 5. Dominant ( my answer - man/strength) 6. Knees (my answer - release) 7. Limits (my answer - stop sign) 8. Security (my answer -trust) 9. Trust (my answer - love) 10. Confidence (my answer - personal acceptance) 11. Submission (my answer - a folded flower) 12. Satisfaction (my answer - fulfilled in the present) 13. Fulfillment (my answer - content with circumstances, evironment and being) 14. Respect (my answer - enough admiration to listen, acknowledge, agree with and maybe emulate.) 15. curiosity (my answer - a thirst to know more than what we do) 16. Bind (my answer - to be kept) 17. Intelligence (my answer - having a curiosity for and ability to relay, knowledge) 18. Society (my answer - the general bubble we live in) 19. Fringe (my answer - on the edges of societal norms) 20. Normal (my answer - what is generally considered acceptable)
