If you post something, would you kindly make it NOT an anecdotal event ? With all respect due to your personal experience, there's five million threads asking for it. This one would appreciate your abstract thinking instead.

Consequently, I choose to distinguish between real BDSM and pseudo BDSM.

*chuckles*  of course that would be only correct if your assumption of me having an aversion to abstract thought was accurate.

But, unfortunate for you, I am confident to sit at the table of abstract or practical.  I am just wise enough to appreciate that both are avenues are neccessary to have an improved appreciate of a given subject and don't foolishly limit myself.

On the other hand, you will never have enough experience that you may be allowed to discuss such vast topics on experience alone. Abstract has it's place, and that place is where we try to discuss things bigger than any single one of us. If you can conceive something like that.

As a person that has much more practical experience in BDSM and D/s lifestyle than most, I can attest that no amount of practical experience is ever going to be enough and that abstract thought and the perspectives of others are indeed important keys to growing and gaining more experience with constructive and positive results.

Psuedo BDSM?  Difficult to say, but I could posit that it is when thinking of it only...to the exclusion of real performance...that there is an exercise in psuedo BDSM going on.  That there has to be a definite physical interaction that takes place.  This is MOO. 

so then we agree.

Nods... It appears that Manners and Civilty is still an abstract thought for him and has yet to master it's theory to be able to demonstrate it from a Practical perspective.

Talking to a longtime friend, she said she could never be interested in "the scene" because every single move seems fake and scripted, and she'd much rather have the genuine article.

I feel that in general popular perception of it equates ultimately to a beast of entirely different stripes—of a tacit matrix of simulation serving merely as a vehicle for what ultimately correlates to staged thrill rides and darkly snazzy fashion shows.
