You don't get it, damn near everybody thinks what they do is normal and it's only those who do what they don't who have issues. Besides, just where do you draw the line? If a monogamous guy ties his wife's hands to the bedpost with a couple of scarves before giving her some light spanking - is that kinky? Who makes the determination? There's no board of certification here. The phrase 'slap & tickle' is commonly used to refer to sex which indicates that spanking is pretty ho-hum.

quote: ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious FR The whole thing where someone asks people what their fantasies are and then, once they're a bit further along than the person was expecting, says 'oh you're one of us and you didn't even know it!' is beyond patronising. Personal sexualities are rich and complex. That doesn't mean they're kinky, it means you've decided what their fantasies should be in order for them to be vanilla people, and you're finding that your expectations don't match the reality. It's not the reality that 'doesn't know' what it is, it's your expectations that are out of whack. Do you know how many women have rape fantasies? The studies I've seen have put it at 40-60%. Does that mean rape is 'embedded in us and are completely natural versus just a fetish'? No? Didn't think so. So what makes power exchange fantasies different from rape fantasies, other than that the idea of one being embedded in us is abhorrent and the other fits how you'd like the world to be? Can you see an actual logical difference between the two constructs? Because I can't. See, now that's what I call perspicacity. (And I'm not saying you're sweaty, hon - though I have nothing at all against women being sweaty. [8D]) It was once said, 'We're all socialists now'. Later it was said, 'We're all greens now'. One day, maybe, someone will say, 'We're all kinksters now'. I want to coin a new word: Vaninkster. Yes! I got it first. It is copyrighted.

quote: ORIGINAL: LoveSparkie I'm beginning to think the sub/dom roles are just embedded in us and are completely natural versus just a fetish. While I agree that basic dom/sub characteristics tend to be embedded in many of us the dividing line is between those who act on it and those who do not. How many of your friends are actually interested in pursuing it? Everybody has fantasies.

Cliff diving in Acapulco sounds exciting, looks beautiful and I can totally see myself doing it. That is til I find myself in Acapulco on a cliff overlooking the water. Then I remember I hate heights, can barely swim and generally avoid death. For any number of people with fantasies as soon as the bare hand hits the bare bottom the rubber would hit the road.

True story: one of my brother's favorite activities is to sneak up on me when I'm lying on the couch watching tv and tie me up, then beat me with a pillow. Sometimes he even commands me to do things under the threat of pillow whipping. He's told me in the past that bondage and sadomasochism are a turn off for him, but I'm really skeptical of that.

quote: I have long thought that most aspects of BDSM, especially D/s, sub/dom roles are quite normal and natural to us all, and the Vanillas simply follow societal programming better, and so reject, deny, sublimate, ignore or suppress such feelings or relegate them only to fantasy, making such Vanillas frequently quite "touchy" about the subject, lol. I agree with the statement above. It seems to me that some form of D/s is ingrained in most of us. Isn't chivalry a form of D/s or power exchange?

No, chivalry was a specific behavioral code, it had nothing to do with power exchange or what someone wanted, it had to do with an ancient form of honor in society observed by following set traditional behavior. Almost a pseudo religion really in some ways. If you qualify obeying God as D/s then maaaaybe, but chivalry as far as I know did not require the recognition of god only the conformity of self to certain behaviors and ideals.

If you really felt that what you were doing was wrong, you would be nearly paralyzed by guilt and shame. Obviously you don't have the conflicts you claim to have. And I apologize for being unclear. What I do is normal for me, when someone else does something much more extreme, that's when I look askance. But the dividing line between vanilla and kink is mutable depending upon the individual. As a rule, however, using a feather is vanilla. Using the whole chicken is kinky. For those who must have a permanent division in order to neatly label everyone else, I suggest this one.

Many people not into D/s also adopt a personal code of honor or conduct, I fail to see how the two are related.

Many groups have developed their own honor code: from the Shriners and the Free Mason's to the the Samurai and Native American warrior codes. It seems to be a thing (mostly male) groups do. I don't think it has a thing to do with dominance or submission. It does have to do with adhering to a strong code of conduct, and many individuals (BDSM involved or not) have created their own. I wasn't making any other point or correlation beyond that.

FR to Chatte: Definitely, but I was specifically responding to "Isn't chivalry a form of D/s or power exchange?" from Tristan.

lmao! That reminds me of when I was a kid growing up. I was declared the supreme ruler of the universe because I could inflict such torture with a towel snap. I also made it a point to learn the most stinging slap possible -(ya'll know what Im talkin about - the finger mark welts with just one whack) That makes be think I was just wired this way, if I were forced to change myself then out of deprivation I 'd probably be more of a perv - if thats even possibile. btw -I still hold that title cuz this mama can still wield a mean dish towel. I just advanced to a flogger & crop as I got older ;)

Djducati -> RE: Vanilla's that don't know their into Kink?? (9/16/2011 1:09:55 PM)
It is definately a lifestyle choice but I strongly believe certain aspects of it are just naturally born into us. In the case of myself, I avoided being too kinky despite my personal urges. Some things just come naturally, and when I finally freed myself of those self imposed restraints and picked up PHYSICAL restraints with a willing sub for the first time I realized a whole new level of pleasure and satisfaction, because I am not holding back, letting the energy flow as it will, and it is not just liberating it feels right and perfectly normal. For all that time I was shying away from what I felt was derogatory but I realized what some see as degrading makes others get off at an extreme level of satisfaction. i cant imagine being any other way now, who wants to close a freed mind?

Almost a pseudo religion really in some ways. I've heard similar. However, of course the word's taken on a different meaning, now. I'm not quite sure that it now implies 'power exchange', as such, but it does imply a certain way of acting that implies, roughly, an assumption of the female as somewhat fragile but infinitely valuable object, while the male is her defender and protector and would lay down his life for her. And stuff. Well, whatever. At any rate, I know that some femdoms and malesubs who've written here have been quite taken with the idea and have compared femdom/malesub to some modern version of Lady/knight. It has at least a bit of mileage for me, too, I'll admit.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Vanilla's that don't know their into Kink?? (9/16/2011 4:19:03 PM)
The Lady/Knight archetype most closely fis the relationship I seek. "Chivalry" is definitely a word that has changed meaning over the centuries! Those knights errant were essentially thugs, and the notions of chivalry were set in place as controls.

PeonForHer -> RE: Vanilla's that don't know their into Kink?? (9/16/2011 4:23:53 PM)
Not that I'm entirely a savage otherwise but, you know, it's funny how it comes on for me with the clothing. A suit or a tux, and I'm an instant Rex Harrison. I even belch in Latin.
