JuicyLucy48 -> What is the norm? (1/28/2012 2:35:36 PM)

I am a newbie to this site and I was just musing whether or not being kinky was a blessing or a curse. 99% of the time it is definitely a blessing for me, but it is so hard to find people who are like-minded, so that is the curse. My kinks are driven by basic primal urges but where does the sub/Dom thing come from? In vanilla life I would be appalled by anyone who wanted to have control over me, but in my kinky life I love it. A bizarre paradox! In my experience most of the Dommes and subs I have met in the scene are fantastic people. Is this a coincidence or is it possible that the vast majority of the population harbour fantasies outside the norm, but most don't have the courage to realise their dream? I think people that have come to terms with their kinks are more open-minded, less prejudiced and well-balanced personalities. I don't nick women's underwear off clothes lines, I go out and buy my own! Anyone feel the same.. err not about the clothes line!!

Welcome to the site, Lucy.
May your happy experiences continue here. [:D]

It is my humble opinion that we all harbor these desires. Some people, for whatever reason, love pain. The same can be said for all aspects of our little community. This is neither a blessing or a curse. It is human nature. Welcome to collarme. There is someone her for you. May you find that person.

What is this "norm" you speak of?

Welcome to collarme.

Maybe the best number are obtained by the Australia sex project.  Here's a sample.

I'm not so sure about that well balanced part. Stick around long enough and you'll find out exactly how UN-balanced some of these people can be![:D]. Honestly though, most of the people you will find here are fabulously awesome. It's the unbalanced ones that provide the entertainment lol.

At first I'd thought my kinky side to be a curse, because I couldn't find anyone that was willing to explore with me, and I got thoroughly frustrated. Then I discovered that there was this whole kinky lifestyle thing, and it's been a blessing (mostly) ever since.

We have lots of regular posters in the UK. If you say what area you are in, they will probably come along with info on BDSM events near you.

LadyPact -> RE: What is the norm? (UK) (1/28/2012 7:52:13 PM)

Welcome to the forums, OP.

On the blessing/curse thing, it really depends on one's own perspective.  A regular play partner or a long term dynamic sounds like it would eliminate the curse factor for you.  If you were content in satisfying the kinky desires, and that would make it a blessing, it's hard to call it a curse just for the lack of a partner that suits the things that you want.

I'm of the opinion that kinky people still really are the minority.  Those who have been kinky all along have a hard time imagining that others could feel a different way because they are unfamiliar with the other side.  As a later in life kinky person, I can tell you that I never had such desires until I was introduced to kink.  In My opinion, it's very similar to whether people are straight, gay, or bi.  When somebody is the complete opposite on the scale from you, it's hard to imagine what excites them because those things might not excite us at all.

Sorry to bubble burst, but kinky people as a group really aren't more open minded, or accepting, or any other good character quality higher than the rest of the population.  We're like any other group of folks that happens to have something in common.  It's one of the subjects that gets raised in discussions here, so you might really enjoy the forums.

Welcome aboard. 
I don't snatch ladies underwear off clotheslines either but I might use the cord to tie someone up!

Hi Lucy hope you enjoy the place




DaddySatyr -> RE: What is the norm? (1/29/2012 4:25:32 AM)

I think "The Norm" was the fat guy that swilled all the free beer on "Cheers", played by George Wendt?

Welcome to CM.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Welcome juice, some of the time it's sort of alright and some of the time it can be quite enjoyable and a lot of the time it can be quite boring!
