SSC? SSC? SSC?
Are those fuckers making T-Shirts again?
Look SSC isn't a Fucking rule, it just sounds good and makes people think that what they are doing is fine and legal.
Lets be honest and clear. No state in all 50 has a mutual battery law, this means that if someone, anyone, witnesses you strike another person and they do not like what they see you have commited a crime depending on where you are it will be a small misdemeanor or what-not. That being said what we do is not sane because we all knowingly break the law to do it. I am not condeming the act I am just saying.
Any Doctor worth the paper that says they knows some things will tell you any strike to the body has an effect some are good some are bad, in the contect of striking for pain there are always more possibilities for mistakes. What is Safe about knowing that every strike you do is doing damage in some way and the more you do it the more likely it is you will eventually harm them.
Back to legal, and with the all 50 states, you cannot legally consent to being beaten legaly. So basically SSC is just a way to feel better about yourself and trick the person in the receiving position into letting you do it.
Risk Aware Consentual Kink (RACK) just as retarded and just as equally chanted. Being aware of the risk does not protect the person in any way and as we just said one cannot legally consent to it so where are we then?
I hate both of those mindlessly repeated phrases.
The only RULE in BDSM is know you are responsible for yourself. Dom or sub YOU are responsible for YOU.
QSM
I think someone needs a hug!
First of all, and speaking for myself, it's not a phrase I repeat mindlessly. I certainly don't need an acronym to satisfy myself that what I'm doing is fine and legal.
Let's deconstruct the phrase -
Are you against Safe kink?
Are you against kink that has regard for the mental health/wellbeing of all concerned?
Are you against limiting sexual activity to those situations where both parties are consenting (and able to consent)?
I mean, if you're against these things, that's ok and all - But I'm gonna have to disagree with you.
You do make an important and valid point about mutual battery - But there are lots of other elements to BDSM for which consent is an essential legal component.
Someone can consent to being tied up for example - And if the police broke in to your house to find your playmate in such a predicament her consent or not would be the difference between mild embarrassment and jail time....
So, I respectfully disagree with you - SSC is something that should be considered and thought about a whole lot more than it is.
Incidentally - I'm sure you're not a jackass - But maybe you could ask yourself "how could I have phrased my reply better?" - because I don't think it was particularly polite or in the spirit of helping, now was it?
