to lizi: I promise I do understand that. It's just a shame that some get tarred with the same brush as others. In common parlance, it's another form of prejudice that seperates people instead of bringing them together.

It's negative energy and it sucks.



Peace and comfort,

Cool, glad we mind melded and all that.
It does suck to get tarred with the same brush which is what the OP is saying too. I agree wholeheartedly with that. I do have to say as well, it's so disheartening on my side that sometimes I just hide my profile so I don't get any stray 'nice' comments that I'll feel bound to take at face value, and once again let down my guard and feel taken advantage of. The nice part about hiding my profile is that anyone from this forum side can still PM me, and those letters I do enjoy quite a bit, as they are usually truly about the subject matter.

This is where I lost you. Front loading with intelligent conversation before you broach the subject of kink seems very reasonable to me. I might not be understanding, but when exactly is it okay to talk about kink?

When you are actually, physically intimate with that person.  The email exchange thing doesn't usually get you to that level of familiarity.

Oh I dunno, it depends on how you're talking about it... if you're talking about what you specifically want to do with a person, that seems weird, but just talking generalities or comparing innterests, that doesn't seem too weird to me.

Ah, ok, gotcha. Thanks for pointing that out.
On that posting I was saying how guys would seemingly come in an innocent comment and 'only' want to start a conversation or friendship but all along their intentions were not innocent. So in this type of instance of someone coming in to say:
Them:  "Hey....! I ride motorcycles too, what do you have?" Or comment on a journal entry of mine, or whatever other conversation starter.
Me:  I'd respond and say "Yes, I have a Suzuki Intruder and a Honda Rebel, btw you know that I'm not single right?"
Them:  "Oh sure, I know that, just wanted to talk about motorcycles."
Me:  "Great! What do you ride?"

And so on and so on, till I've invested a fair amount of good will and friendship in someone who eventually lets the other shoe drop and says something like "how would you like to get together and let me strip you naked and play?"

In the situation I just described and was also talking about earlier...the subject of kink is NEVER going to be ok to bring up. Because I'm not looking for a kinky playmate, and I pointed out earlier that I wasn't looking for one, but the guys come in under false pretenses to act like they're  not there for kink and in the end they are. Or the ones that want your Dom to send you to them for sharing or punishment. Geez, they start talking to you all normal and stuff and then after a while when your defenses are down they start getting more intrusive till they let their true intentions be known. Kink is never ok to discuss with a friend unless we're talking about it in general and we both feel comfortable doing that. Like sex, some men and women discuss it, some don't, depends on your relationship.

As far as a normal situation when people are writing to determine relationship compatibility then yes, you are absolutely right, front loading with intelligent conversation before approaching kink is great. I don't know exactly when kink should be approached but I guess it would be about the time when you have decided perhaps that you'd like to date this person and get to know them? Perhaps that would be a good thread subject, when does the kinky conversation start?

For myself, I am uncomfortable discussing it with someone I haven't decided yet if I like them enough to give things a go as far as spending time in real life. I mean in a vanilla situation when do people talk about sex? I guess sometimes before they go out, sometimes after, but I 'd think it would depend on if they've accepted the possibility of having that person be special to them in whatever manner they are looking for.

I think waiting until you are both naked, staring at each other and asking "By the way, what are you into?" is a little late. I want to know what tickles her fancy and her know what tickles mine. I'm not talking about cybering, just "hey, what kind of stuff do you like? What don't you like?" if she's opposed to giving head, and that's my favorite thing in the world, it's probably not gonna last long.

All y'all people talking about kink. What kind of a forum did I stumble upon?



Peace and comfort,

It was what is known as "the Confiteor" or "Act of Contrition" (Well, the beginning of it)

I agree with the last section of what you said - talking about sex/kink before there's some mutual "I really like you" vibes does seem strange. That's sorta what caused my latest disappointment. I was trying to get to know someone and everything routed back to sex/kink stuff. I just want to be able to have a nice conversation with someone, you know?
But part of the problem with this site is that it IS a kink site, so you can't reeeally fault people too much for leading with the kink. I'm beginning to think that this site may not be helpful for me. :p

So the question I gotta ask...
OP...have you gotten any more CMail since you started this thread?

I found that when I first joined, I'd send out a bunch of hellos....and got nothing back...
Then I started posting a lot (as respectfully as possible because I learned quick it was easy to piss folks off because email/internet forums are not the easiest forum for conversation) and now I get a significant amount of email.  I answer all respectful email, and have only deleted/ignored a small handful because they were either obvious spam or blatantly offensive.  about 99% of my CMail is usually really kind.

Not perhaps the email you're looking for....but I have had some interesting conversations with a lot of nice folks.   oh, and I really nice invitation to a CollarMe Thanksgiving. Bonus times ten. 
So keep at it....enjoy the forums (I avoid P&R like the plague, but to each his own....) and folks will get to know you through your posts.

LOL.

The thing about this is that there is a range.  Like with some other things, it's always to go the safer route.  Idle chit chat (like Lizi's example of what kind of bike) isn't exactly connection.  Many people don't leap from hobbies in the real world to "so, what kind of kink are you into?"

A good rule of thumb is when folks are getting to the point when they think they would like to meet in person.  If a person isn't thinking that they are comfortable enough to meet a person for coffee or would like to talk to them in the real world, they probably aren't familiar enough to start going over the kink list.

I'm really glad we connected on this and that you let me know what wasn't clear. I want to thank you for sparking some interesting thinking on my part, so much so that I started a new thread about what we were discussing. http://www.collarchat.com/m_3955763/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#3955764

Maybe you can drop in and share your views.

Actually, no, no emails. No hits on viewing my profile either. But I think some of the posters here are right in saying being here on the boards will not only increase exposure, but also make some great friends and have some great conversations as well.
