ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth quote:
i feel totally unversed in humiliating a person and how do i detach myself from the meaning of what's coming out of my mouth because it is something i am very interested in but just cannot get around? The disconnect between the mental sexual/sensual idea of an act and the reality of doing it is a common crossroad. You happen to pick one of the many interactive sensations that swim in the "broad ocean that constitutes the BDSM community"; but it's no different than flogging, needle play, or single tail. It is a 'you' issue, but will only be a you problem if you and your partner let it be one. There's two paths to forming a solution. The first is self focused, and is more likely to generated a pragmatic yes/no answer. You either like the 'humiliating' activities or not. You have to identify the source of your guilt and either quell it or control it. A person shouldn't do, and worse take pleasure, in causing 'discomfort' in their partner. It's socially unacceptable and politically incorrect. Well, get over it, or not; it will take introspection and resolution of an inner conflict. Desire versus 'upbringing' and social 'norms' (whatever they are); think about it, honestly determine your feelings and use the results to go forward, have fun and enjoy. But what if it turns out that you really can't get your mind around the dichotomy of loving your partner while at the same time engaging in intercourse that 'humiliates' them? Well, if you love them or care for them, how much are you willing to do to show it? How much are you willing to do for them? This is called projection. Many practice this and have it as a primary motivation in their relationship, vanilla or rocky road. As an example and keeping sex out of it; I hate shoe shopping. I love the way some of the shoes beth shops for look once purchased, but the process sucks. I don't have to put up with it, but I love her and care for her and she does, so I do it. I don't enjoy the process, but I enjoy the time spent with beth, enjoy her joy, I enjoy the results, so I have no problem doing it. Yeah, sometimes it gets a bit much and I pull the plug as I did in Italy after a week of shoe shopping, stopping at every store in Sorrento, Capri, and a bunch in Naples, determined that beth's shoe size, Euro 41, was only sold in specialty shops for cross dressing men. she had to suffer and instead of coming back with Italian shoes she compromised and came back with an Italian purse. Don't "detach" yourself, involve yourself. Take the act, any act, out of the equation and participate in it for the joy it brings; either to you or your partner - hopefully both. Anyway, that's my perspective and suggestions. Good luck!! Yeah, ....what Merc said....And, Midori has a great book on that subject, but i cant think of the title right off hand.
