ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious There's a blog entry a friend wrote that I thought might be relevant to a current thread, but in it he's discussing pretty dangerous stuff and I didn't feel comfortable posting a link-I ended up copping out and cmailing the OP just for their own interest. It got me thinking back to a discussion I remember having with Lady P when I was pretty new-she said there were things she wouldn't post the specifics of on the forums in case someone inexperienced tried them and it went wrong. I was kind of offended at the time-I thought the duty of care was with the reader, not the writer, but I get what she meant now-I don't want anyone else's accidents or bad experiences on my head, even indirectly. I think she was talking about needleplay, and it got me wondering: Are there kinks you won't discuss on CM, for whatever reason? Is it that you don't want to be responsible for encouraging other people to behave irresponsibly, or you don't think they'll be received well, or the experiences are just too private, or something else entirely? As Stephen noted, there are an awful lot of things I won't discuss on CM, some of them having to do with kink. Part of that is because there are aspects of my life that I don't care to share with the world at large and part of that is because there are certain stances I have that I will only argue about for a little while and then, upon the realization that I am unlikely to change someone's mind...or the converse, they are unlikely to change mine...there just isn't any sense in arguing further and that tends to either kill threads or lead to the accusation that you won't back up your stance. One reason I try...thought not with much success lately...to stay away from the political threads. Things get twisted, emotionalism comes into play and pretty soon the argument denigrates into personal attacks rather than issue-oriented discussion/argument. While I am willing to do that with my political beliefs once in awhile and more willing to do it with discussions of a BDSM-D/s-relationship topic, I am not willing to put a lot of what I do PERSONALLY out there.
