ORIGINAL: NihilusZero You know what else isn't healthy? Drinking alcohol. Eating fast food. Not exercising. Getting into rebound relationships. Being a stuntman. Being in the military. Bladeplay. Most types of sex. Being a boxer. Being a U.S. football player. Chocolate. Enemas. Germophobia.... Really, it's almost cute that you took your own personal issue and tried to paint it as a health concern, but it's so desperately short-sighted it falls out of the realm of anything rational. And, being fixated so overtly on a personal crusade over one thing that a human can do to him/herself as being unhealthy when it (doing something "unhealthy") is an inevitable and inescapable part of life...I call that "stupid". Indeed the example of smoking used by the op is totally silly in my opinion... an opinion i am entirely entitled to, like all of you are entitled to your opinions by the way. To me the entire thing about positive reinforcement falls flat on its face if the thing the Dominant uses to do his positive reinforcement with is something that is actually bad for his sub and yes some of the other things you mention that are bad for you would be just as stupid used as positive reinforcement, though i do not see how you can reward someone by letting them be a germophobe if they are good... Now if you want to smoke, by all means do, rather not in my vicinity, but as long as i don't have to smell you i am fine with it, don't however turn it into some BDSM practise as a reward for good behaviour, because that is just so wrong that is like having a junky for a partner and everytime they do a trick you like you reward them with another shot of heroin.... IT IS JUST NOT RIGHT indeed another example of positive reinforcement would have been much preferable. Now, this is indeed only my opinion, all you people who totally dig this train of thought of positive reinforcement by reward with cigs can obviously ignore me and chose to contribute to this thread with other examples of positive reinforcement which the op asked for and i actually provided aswell, instead of trying to tell me that i am stupid... because... well... that is just beyond stupid really.
