This is continuing debate I've seen since my wife and I first started exploring our desires, 10 plus years ago. If you have sex in a BDSM context, does that make you a swinger and not a Master/submssive (insert relevent terminology here)? If you are a swinger, does engaging in BDSM make you an evil horrible person? For us we find all aspects of D/s very sensual and sexual. There's usually at least one naked body involved, and alot is happening to that body, both sensual and painful. That does not mean there has to be intercourse for us to enjoy the experience. But since many of our fantasies involve sexual control, there often (for us) is direct sexual contact involved. And after a hot "no sex" play party, we go home and have a good romp to finish off the night *smile*. Perhaps for some that makes us more "swingers" then Dom/sub. But as any practioner of BDSM who got hot watching a bondage and rape scene in a movie knows, there's no reason why these activities should NOT include sex if that's the place a Dom and their sub have chosen to go. Every relationship is different. Just because I choose to tie up my lover, flog her, AND fuck her shouldn't make me any better or worse then anyone else is. Frankly I think every person who has posted is correct. They have chosen for themselves what BDSM means to them, and their beliefs are just as valid as the next. The problem occurs when one judges that their way must be superior to all others, and therefore works to denigrate or belittle those who do not act in the manner they feel is correct. There's nothing wrong with BDSM, there's nothing wrong with swinging, but there's everything wrong with people from either side of the debate looking down their noses at the others. Everyone finds their own path, let them enjoy it as they see fit. Some people combine both, and do so happily and joyfully. Some people do neither and live lonely, asexual lives. Everyone is different, everyone is beautiful... now, can't I get some cute hiney over here to spank??? I'm making myself sick with all this nicey nice stuff. *lol* As Rodney King said: can't we all just get alone? You tie up your friends, they screw them... both are fun to some of us. :)
