I think that for everyone, there are some things that are sacred. To me, the person who shows true understanding is the one who recognizes that their sacred cow is just that...THEIR sacred cow. Yeah, there are general things that are followed in D/s M/s...the basic structure of the relationship, power exchange, etc. But some things are up to the individuals involved. On the BDSM side, the humiliation play I enjoy with submissives might be seen as "normal" by some, "abusive" by others, and to others, "much ado about nothing". But that is their feeling...not mine. And they are not in the relationship. I think there are too many things too quickly labeled abuse and then, given all that is done in the name of BDSM and D/s, it becomes dangerous to do anything. On the D/s side, I have a tendency to be a "kidder"...not rough or mean, just playful. I like a submissive who enjoys that and can kid right back. I have been overheard engaged in this sort of verbal play and have been told by a very indignant dominant that I did not "have my submissive in hand". And he knew that ... ?
