ORIGINAL: RainydayNE i dont think it necessarily makes you a nimrod, some people go overboard because they're excited to try something new. =p True, but can't that happen with anything and it's not called a "frenzy?" That's the difference for me. Anytime someone is exposed to something new, there can be lots of excitement and maybe less restraint than usual. I remember the first time I rode a rollercoaster as a kid. I had been so scared to do it but I did it for my best friend. She wanted me with her. Once I got off that first one, I was hooked and wanted to run to the front of the line and get right back on. That's excitement. It would have been "frenzy" if I HAD done that - run to the front of the line, knocking people over and skipping line to get more, more, more! If I had become a complete numbskull, worried only about getting more of what I wanted right now and to hell with the other people. That's kind of what I personally envision when people talk about "sub frenzy." Sub "excitement," I could accept. Sub "frenzy" makes me think of this:     . The actual dictionary definition is this: Main Entry: 1 a: a temporary madness b: a violent mental or emotional agitation2: intense usually wild and often disorderly compulsive or agitated activity <a shopping frenzy>. That's not how I ever want to be described personally. As I've said many times before here, we don't label it "frenzy" when people get excited about anything else in life. Why, oh why, should we accept it when applied to a bottom-type when they first get a taste of BDSM (fill in the blank)? luci
