ORIGINAL: sophia37 Dear Mistress of Ga, While I can appreciate your position as devil's advocate, I think you're running afoul of people here based on attitude. An interesting thread for you to consider might be the one called "From Abuse To Submission". There's a perspective in there that is very helpful to understading why some posters feel the way they do in this thread. Sophia, while I can appreciate that you have every right to your opinion, just as I do, I do not have to "understand" why posters feel the way they do on this thread, any more than they have to "understand" why I feel the way I do. Bear with me for a sec while I try and explain. When I walked in off the street to have a look around this site, the first thing I read was the thread on male Chastity belts. lol As far as I'm concerned, thats not exactly the right place to start if you want to get a sense of the cummunity here on these boards. lolol The second place I went was to the profile listings. Another good place NOT to start now that I look back on it. I too found several postings from men and women that quite fankly disturbed me. Big Time. That is why you move on to the next profile. If you do not like the one you are reading, if it offends you or disturbs you, dont read it. I think your life style sounds a lot more fun that what these profile listings are offering. There's just this whole different feel to what you're putting out into the world, compared to what some of the profiles seem to be suggesting. This may be true, or it might not be. For every one person that says my life style sounds more fun than those who have a different kind of kink, there's another person out there that says my life sounds boring. Everyone has their own kink. Sometimes I feel its wrong to say, "anything goes". Why defend brutality in its base form? Whats so uplifting about being abused? I disagree with the whole, "who's to say what is and isnt abuse" that you're suggesting. Where does your philosophy get us in the end? You're idea could lead us to then to say, whats so bad about having sex with little girls? Right? How do you know those little girls didnt like it? Maybe they even consented! I could find a zillion other examples if that one doesnt suit you. Well now this is a huge stretch. I would never say that a child deserved or liked being sexually abused. First of all, the child can not give consent. You are going to have to do better at finding another example. And as far as "who's to say what is and isnt abuse"? The person who has not given consent. That is who. But someone reading a bdsm message forum can not make that call. They can only state their opinions, which Angelic did, but there is no need to insult another persons kink just because in her opinion it is abuse. What is abuse to her, may not be abuse to someone else. There ARE things that people do to others that are damaging. It's not a world of, "all in good fun". You're sort of trying to defend your own personal lifestyle. And the topic wasnt even about you to begin with. This is not about two people getting off on paddle play. This is about something far more serious. It would be nice if you had some respect for that. I was not defending anything. I was using my paddling my submissive as an example of what some vanilla folks may call abusive. If two consenting adults want to sit in the woods naked and throw darts at each other all day, that is what they can do. Why? Because they are two consenting adults. Period. There is nothing "far more serious" about anything in this life style than the next, only people's perception of it. Now, if a submissive comes to this board and says that she is being abused because her Dom wants to use her as a human toilet and she didnt consent to this, then we can all start sprouting abuse, but until then, it is just a kink that two consenting adults enjoy doing. That is what I have respect for. Thank you. Editted for clarification
