Do you find some you hate or cannot grasp? How do you react to these? Are there some that I hate, no. There are some things I have no tolerance for, but not to the degree of hating. Things I cannot grasp, a few, but I keep puzzling them out to see what motivates or attracts people. If its one of the few things I don't tolerate, I'll speak out and say what I think and why I think it. People either listen or not. If I know I can't change the situation, I don't waste my energy trying. Do you find some of them morally reprehensible? Which ones? Why? Morally, no. Ethically, yes. I find the practice of breeding a slave for the purpose of producing children which are then to be raised as slaves or sold to be unethical. Why, because the child has no ability to consent to what is happening. An situation that I think is likely to cause an individual serious and/or permanent harm, whether physical, mental or emotional I find to be unethical. Why, because doing that kind of harm for ones own pleasure is beyond the boundaries of what should be acceptable play. Anyone who consents to, for example, being killed and eaten or fed to dogs (and there are those with that fantasy), I question their mental health and their ability to consent. Are you open to at least discussing these kinks or do you just turn the person or poster off or worse yet flame them? Oh I'll discuss it so far as explaining very clearly why it is wrong, what the rational reasons for that are, etc. If they don't get it then I quit wasting my time. I gave up trying to save the world years ago. If someone doesn't want my help, they're on their own. What do each of you consider to be mainstream kink or fringe kink? I never gave it much thought. Honestly, I do what I enjoy, within what I consider to be healthy boundaries. I don't care if its "mainstream" or not... I'm not asking for anyone's approval. In other words, does it matter if a kink is "fringe" or "mainstream"? How many consider M/s or D/s or Daddy's/Mommy's boy or girl to be kink? How many consider it to be a lifestyle? Kind of funny, was just discussing the topic of whether or not certain aspects of BDSM could be considered a lifestyle or not. What I concluded was that in most cases what people do is not a style of life, but more a style of relationship. I think in a few cases, you may find a slave that lives as such full time and for whom being a slave actually is a style of life (meaning they approach the all basic tasks of life, work, love, friends, self identity, spirtuality as a slave). But in my opinion such cases are the exception, not the rule.
