ORIGINAL: DeviantlyD Unless you're engaging in sex as part of the play, no it isn't. I've participated in a number of play parties and none of it involved sex. Again no. I wonder if you believe that all play parties involve sex . If you do, you are mistaken. But hey. Maybe I am just a prude or too traditional or something. Just go with what feels right to you. After reading the rest of your post, I'm convinced that you do think that playing at a play party involves sex. There may be some play parties that involve this, but certainly not all. I would be willing to bet that most don't involve sex. If your first encounter is intimate, sure, but if it's just a public play session, say getting tied up with your clothes on, where there are people present you trust, I can't see it holding the same significance. I'm guessing you've never been to a play party, which is fine, but participating in a non-sexual way at a play party isn't training. Again, playing isn't training. You seem to be overly preoccupied with the aspects of: "sex", "training", "play" and so forth, yet... what you fail to understand is that some of us, who hold a different opinion from yours, get NOTHING... ZERO... ZILCH... NADA from "play" -- i.e., it's fucking pointless waste of time!!! For some of us, BDSM, sex, intimacy, training, pleasing, being pleased, control, being controlled, dominance, submission, partnership, love, and so forth (whether our clothes are off or on) is all wrapped up in a single, critical package -- a RELATIONSHIP. The physical elements are fucking MEANINGLESS without the mental and emotional ties to someone we're ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED with, or seek to be so. Analogy: If my best friend (i.e., someone I trust) were to take/hold my hand, it would do NOTHING for me -- and would be no different if said same best friend was the person I engaged in BDSM activities with. I trust them... but so fucking what?!! However, if the person that I'm emotionally/romantically interested in were to take/hold my hand... ZING... POW... BAM... FUCKING FIREWORKS!!! Thus, for some, BDSM is absolutely NOT something we view as being SEPARATE... it's all mixed together with everything else -- and merely the icing (the power elements) on the cake (the relationship). That's why, for some of us, "play" is beyond fucking pointless and meaningless. It doesn't "feel right to [us]" to give even someone we "trust" that physical control when there is no mental, emotional, romantic bond. We don't do frosting... we need the fucking cake, dammit!!! Granted, some may get a high from the frosting alone (which is fine), but for others... that'd only make us sick to our stomach. For me, and others, "play" holds zero "significance". If there's no mental, emotional, romantic connection, I'd rather spend that time bathing my dog. That'd at least be a win/win... for me and the dog. The OP asked for opinions... she's gotten them.
