A successful happy relationship in bdsm doesn't give you the right to piss people off or offend them by making them witness to stuff they don't consent to.

The more we hide in the corners and have this obsession with it being dark and different and all that crap the more people feel vindicated about calling us freaks. Seriously the idea of crying because your boyfriend hasnt text you for two hours, that much weirder than wearing a lead in public :P

In order for it to be humiliating, does it not automatically have to be in front of people who will be upset about it?
If you wouldn't find it humiliating at a dungeon, then you probably wouldn't find it humiliating in a gay bar or a section with a lot of gays. Leaving for another time the fact that gays and lesbians have children also.

So doesn't the op have to do this in front of ums, elderly and so on to get the reaction that is wanted?

quote:

I don't think you need to be indecent but moderation is ok, I mean yeah wearing no knickers and a tennis skirt would be a bit woah but is a lead really that offensive> its not that explicit its not overly sexual. I dunno. To be fair I think that mostly what would happen is kids calling the couple freaks and stuff.

So, I'd suggest either do so in an environment with other people who are doing similar things, or at least in an adult-only environment with people who are likely to be tolerant.

Thats not the impression i got from the post i replied to. I got the impression you were saying fuck what anyone else thinks or feels.
Seeing you walk your slave on a leash whilst in the company of um's or my parents would offend me and it would offend many people. So if you are going to do that you are intentionally and knowingly going to offend or piss someone off.

I really want to yank a slave of mine by his chained collar in public, but should I? The thing I'm concerned about the most are children and the parents of children. I'm not even sure if doing something like this is legal. I live in the gay part of town filled with sex and head shops so I don't think it'll be a big deal. What do you think? Is it a problem?

It's legal.  Freedom of expression.  In one movie, Groucho suggests to a man that they build their new museum right in Central Park.  "Could we do that?" the man asks.  "Sure," Groucho responds.  "Do it an night when no one's looking." 
Do it in clubs, at night, places where there are no kids present.

Don't kiss, don't be fat in public, don't be too skinny, don't be gay, don't preach, don't fart, don't show your thong, don't sneeze without covering your mouth, don't talk with your mouth full, don't wear a skirt when your legs look like THAT, don't baggy and expose the top of your whities, don't hug a hippy, don't sing, don't worship, don't try and console a crying child, don't smoke in public spaces, don't laugh, don't and for goodness sake of the children - Don't fucking yank anybodys chain.*dramatic hand to the forehead swoon*.

Why are kids so important? Victoria's Secret is opening a new store in the mall. While they do construction, they have a HUGE picture of a scantily clad woman on the closed store front. Literally, 50 feet long - black lingerie. How can someone justify scoffing at me tugging a girl-puppy on a leash if we're within eye shot of those car-sized tits?

quote:

I'm not advocating for change, only for fair growth. How much heterosexual missionary style sex do I have to be exposed to before it's ok to see a man give another man a little peck?

quote:

The idea of a leashed person is less sexual than any example I've used. It may be intimate, but it's not sexual. A person on a leash is considered a spectacle.
