ORIGINAL: fragilepieces Most people won't admit they are with someone they dislike Failing to admit I do not like someone, and remaining in a relationship with them as well? Thankfully, I wouldn't be that dishonest with myself. Perhaps, I have a touch of narcissism, but I love me entirely too much to 'endure' someone, for their sake. Seems less a problem with the partner and more a problem with the person who fails in being honest with themselves and others. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces nor that they participate in some sort of play they abhor simply because it gives there Top/Dominant pleasure If the abhorrent play was not designated a hard limit, I'm failing to see the issue with this one. A stay at home chick may abhor scrubbing the commode but it's a trade off when the partner is out earning the rent. A sub may not like the cane but she may love the needle. Concession allows compromise which enables a relationship work. BDSM or vanilla .. a relationship, is a relationship .. and it takes compromise and hard work, to make it work. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces people have stated they have agreed to bringing another into their relationship and really were not all that comfortable with it If they're not comfortable with it, they shouldn't agree to it. {Why bring stress, grief and hardship into your life?} If your partner is down with you, and as a couple your mutual goal is to enrich your union, then the relationship will bear it. If your partner would drop you for rejecting multiple subs/slaves, when that's not what you signed up for ... either way you look at it, you're in the wrong relationship aren't you? For me, this comes back to being honest with yourself and your partner. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces or someone staying in a relationship they were not totally happy in because they ARE slaves I realize this problem exists because I've known battered women .. and I was a battered woman. With all confidence I can assure you that this is not exclusive to slaves. Domestic abuse aside .. I realize people can/do remain in unhappy, dead-end relationships. Once again, this comes back to being honest with yourself and that other person ... then acting on the knowledge you possess. You have to be {or grow} strong enough to live your life. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces And there are masochists who are merely masochists because their Top enjoys it Then they aren't actually masochists, are they? They're just a willing participant. They are people suffering the will of another human, to please that human, above their own best interest. Once again, we're back to being honest with yourself and the other person. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces and they get pleasure from his pleasure but not necessarily any pleasure from the pain. If the masochist gained pleasure .. because a sadist gained pleasure .. by inflicting pain upon the masochist .. then I'm failing to see the issue with this one. Masochism is not limited to deriving pleasure from physical pain. It can be from physical, psychological or emotional pain as well. In that regard, it seems a textbook S/M exchange. quote:
ORIGINAL: fragilepieces That's my point to me that is extreme but necessarily wrong. I understand your point, and it was well explained. I tend to disagree because I do not, necessarily, equate failing to be honest with yourself and your partner as extreme. A colossal waste of time, perhaps, but not extreme. Although, I do agree that it is wrong.
