ORIGINAL: JeffBC Also, I personally find taken-in-hand to be a bit poisonous. There's the hypocrisy of "We're not kinky and we despise those kinky folks but we have to spank our wives constantly." Either those men have the worst behaved wives of all time or else they're covering. As I chime in every time I see Taken In Hand knocked around a bit like this, I will do so again, here. I think it's equally hypocritical for people on a BDSM board to lump all those involved in TIH as being so judgmental. For every TIH follower who does feel that way, there are plenty who don't. To judge an entire group on the feelings of a few would be like judging all of us here on the forums based on the actions of fill-in-the-blank. I used to have quite an interest in TIH and I have never found a disdain for BDSM to be a consistent undercurrent. Many readily admit to the sexual fulfillment from spankings and submission, though they may use different words for it. There are elements to TIH that are very specific that some aspects of BDSM just don't fit into, so yes, it's specific. The exclusion of certain BDSM activities, and the inclusion of power based on gender, does lead some to view their beliefs as judgmental of others. I, personally, have not found that to be the case.
