ORIGINAL: Ullr I am responding to LadyHibiscus, but this is directed more broadly than to just her. I am curious what difference it makes whether or not Ishtarr's punishments are associated with fear play or any other kind of play. She has essentially described some fairly intense S&M punishments within a consensual non-consent framework. Can that stand or fall on its own merits or lack thereof? Does the motivation of both parties matter? What if it isn't fear-play? What if Ishtarr's torments are for no other reason than being dominated into submitting to these punishments? The impression I get from this thread (among others) is the BDSM community can accept sadism & masochism but not dominance & submission. Somehow, everything has to have the "-play" suffix or it is condemned. Fear-play is ok. Edge-play is ok. D&s is not ok. Or more precisely, D&s is not ok unless the s actively wants everything the D is doing... which seems to miss the entire point. Maybe we should reverse the capitalization to d&S? Or maybe it would be ok if those engaging in dominance & submission start calling it D&s-play instead? Not meaning to be hostile - just curious why the physically focused BD and SM parts of BDSM are accepted when the physiologically focused DS part of BDSM is not. hmm...let me try to answer this from my twisted fucked up perspective ;) Mr and I are a D/s couple. He dominates me, I sumbit to him. You'll note in my sig line I say "I do this because it fucking feels good" There is much more to that than just the simple physical, in fact some of the physical hurts like hell and when I am going through it I'd probably rather not be. The thing is, if I didn't want these things to be, they simply wouldn't. I have to give my consent in order for him to do to me the things he does. I live in a country where true slavery is illegal...I like Mr too much to have him do something that might send him to jail ;)Same thing I think in Jeff and Carol's relationship, she consents by continuing and when she decides to no longer to consent, the relationship is over (I don't know if he means the whole thing, or just the D/s they go back to being a married couple...I'll let him splain that one) My relationship would go back to being a normal married couple. I hated it. We had sex maybe twice a month, we were both miserable people. I was way too far into my own head letting everything aorund me just dig in and completely fuck me up. Since I have consented to him having control, it is a freeing feeling for me, even when he has me over his knee and is making me scream begging him to stop....that belongs to Him, he takes it because I want to give it to Him. So, I give him a blanket consent making it ok with me for him to do to/with me what he feels like it because yes, in fact I DO want these things overall even if sometimes in the moment I don't. Does that make any sense? BTW, I know it's semantics but I do want to also say that he and I don't "play". We scene, we session, he punishes, we pleasure eachother, I do what I'm told or what's expected of me. None of it for us is "play". This is our life day in and day out and we want it this way.
