You may say I react this way because I am not a practicer of corporal punishment, and I've never hidden the fact with anyone here that I am not a Sadist. However, I honestly feel it is my "humane" side that reacts as it does when I see photos of people undeniably BEATEN to the point of spots that go beyond mere bruisings and flesh that is not all...shall I say intact? *raises hand* I look like this a lot, and I didn't have to work I'd want to look like this more often. You're missing the point, and that is what is insulting in what you say. I consented to this kind of treatment and I WANT it. It's that way for all of us, unless it's non consensual. Beyond the joy of new marks and scars, I love the experience thoroughly, I love that it is something I can share with my partner. Nothing is worse than being judged as "extreme" "inhumane" "insane" or watching your partner get accused of harming you, especially by others who claim involvement themselves in BDSM. You haven't necessarily said or done these things, but this mentality exists. quote:
Personally, I have not experienced the necessity to physically mark anyone who has been my submissive in order to feel that he belongs to me. For those of you who feel that need, that is SURELY YOUR CHOICE. And I am not attempting to be your judge and jury in any way. Um these are none of the reasons why I and many others I know engage in extend S&M. We do it because we enjoy sadism and/or masochism, or one of the two with an interest in DS as well. Sadism also often makes lousy punishment for a masochist, that's why my partner licks my forehead. quote:
But I thought since the topic for this thread is "leaving marks", I might pose the question...at what point should "enough" become "enough?" The inflicter is the one who "sees" the results from a vantage point that the inflictee doesn't immediately have. So I'm curious as to how the Dominant makes that judgement call? There is always communication, lots of it. What I've recognized about edge play is that there are just as many of not more limits. The lines are just very different and around simpler things. Tone of voice, spot on the body, where and when, what and how. The higher the stakes the more important the details become. It's part of what I love about edge play.
