ORIGINAL: con8ken I don't come to make up stuff and lie, why would I, if You haven't answered me then you havnt, whether you believe you have or not, and making other stuff up and taking things out of context is no help to me, i came to get an idea on people views and have questions I have answered, which no one has done. It seems that people don't want to communicate they just want to push their view on you without challenge. Anyway this wasn't a complete failure, I have learnt its hard to get a straight answer and people become defensive in an online forum when people feel your threatening their beliefs or knocking their lifestyle, even if all your doing is looking for answers. The OP was my opinion as I saw it then, Although I may still find something's weird or extreme, its not my business what people get upto, and their not bothered what I think anyway. Some of you have given me some food for thought and others not. My intension was to provoke thought in myself but ended up just provoking others. I go in peace.... You have to understand why people are getting defensive. You made generalizations, whether intended or not, regarding the BDSM community. That will happen no matter what group you approach. You can't take one, or even a few, examples and hold it as a standard. There are extremes in everything. There are abusers everywhere. There is weirdness all around. Not just in BDSM. The people here are much more relaxed and welcoming than the vanilla world. If two consenting adults are into something that you're not, you don't need to understand it or approve it. To each their own. If you're talking about illegal or unsafe activity, no one here (that I have ever seen) approves of it. In regards to the sub that puts herself in harms way, she could very well be pulling your chain. If she's not, then she may very well have issues. But that's not BDSM and just because she associates herself with it should, in no way, be taken as the norm. I myself enjoy pain and unless you do as well, will probably never understand it. It is very therapeutic, taking you away from stresses temporarily, and giving the rush without the worry of a parachute not opening. I do hope you take the advice of others and learn more.
