I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, years of being a bouncer have taught me a lot of ways to take someone down, usually drunk, stoned, and raging. It's not fun in the least, and the hormones my body releases then aren't the ones conducive to lovemaking later. On the other hand, I've had a few partners that wanted it, and I'd do my best to oblige without doing overt damage to them-which is very, very hard. I'm trained to immobilize someone as quickly as possible until my coworkers show up to remove the person, and thus I have a tendency to use those techniques on a willing partner-which usually isn't what they wanted. They want to be able to fight back, and I simply don't let them. I've been punched, clubbed, bitten, scratched, and had my balls kicked enough times in real life that I'm not keen on it in a play situation. The one woman I was dating who was really into it wasn't expecting her epic struggle scene to be over in less than ten seconds, with one wrist cuffed to an ankle, a nasty bruise on her other wrist as well as a strained muscle when I horsed it behind her back. She was expecting something along the lines of "He'll grab my by both wrists and I'll writhe and twist and kick him like the do on TV and in the movies," completely forgetting she worked in the same club as me and knew how I dealt with rowdy drunks. In short, I think I scared her from her fantasy, at least for awhile. Shame, really, she was a nice person that I wouldn't have minded getting to know for a long time, but that's that now. I can't "dial it down" for play-I never learned how. When I sparred, it was as near to full-contact as we dared without killing or maiming ourselves (My nose has been broken 7 times, mostly sparring). Takedowns aren't fun for me, and I never incorporated that into my scenes. To anyone wishing to do it correctly, get real-time training. I learned a lot about it when I was going through LEO training, and I did have a somewhat amusing incident I recounted in a much earlier post. But over time, it became less and less "fun", especially after the first half-dozen ER visits I made to fix damage I took. Sorry if this was wordy, but these are my thoughts on the matter.
