Dear CERCKL, Ladies and Gentlemen;
I make no "bones" about not knowing it all--I see no shame in saying that. But, as another poster put it, so many have pride/ego and afraid of peer judgment that they don't wish to be honest that they're new or new at one thing/area but, very accomplished in other areas. Every personal interaction I have with someone, it is a teaching/learning experience. Not everybody can understand that teachers often come out as students; as students come out as better teachers. Learning from each other is "life." Regardless if learning directly and or indirectly.
Knowledge is power. First hand experience is a better teacher, as it unfolds before you and all the things that create the 'cause' and 'effect' of the M/s, D/s and or S&M.
True, not everybody goes to the extent to medically justify for the techniques used.
Some, really don't think it is important. But, really does skew the "safe" or "risk awareness" side of the lifestyle. I would want to have more information/knowledge that I require; rather than not enough and have a problem from it.
I do believe, it is very important to gather as much information as possible; about the body/anatomy and effects from the opposite sex. In an example, men cannot understand certain sensations that women feel in their bodies, in some genital areas as well as women do not understand the sensations that men have in their genitals.
I will add, that I was totally facinated by a man/medical doctor who gave me the story of how he felt from an arousal to an orgasm, all the sensations from A-Z. For women, how the body cycles effects sensitivies and different responses. Yes, we know how to get orgasms but--the point is, learning what sensations the other has beyond the surface.
I do agree, that anybody should be able to have explained, what a certain tool, such as a flogger will do, how the body registers it, handles it and what dangers it may pose if not on certain areas that the BDSM community at large, deems safe and or reasonable. If individuals have health issues, it may give them a better understanding of the risks and make an informed choice and or request a modification.
I am thrilled, when a slave/submissive asks questions and asks for me to demonstrate first. It means that they care enough about themselves to learn and make informed choices that involve their body.
