In an effort to be shed some light on Race Play, I searched for a recent thread where a black femsub stated that she wanted "real racists" to humiliate her, call her the n-word and so forth. (Can't locate it, search didn't bring up results.) Accordingly, as much as I wanted to warn her for making such a foolish announcement, I refrained so as not to appear to be criticizing someone else's kink. You are a Top, and unless you are in a trusted relationship with the bottom with whom you are engaging in this sort of play (and even then, you never know), ^Delilya's experience does raise the following points for careful consideration:
-- You set off some psychological trigger, perhaps even inadvertently
-- Bottom starts freaking out
-- Things go South
-- You get accused of a hate crime, or
-- Bottom claims she acted in self-defense
-- Something even worse happens
-- Who do you think the jury will believe?
-- Is it worth it to go to prison and ruin your life over this?
To be fair most of those could be claimed of many humiliation scenes. Ultimately that's what race play boils down to - it's an extreme form of humiliation. Obviously it comes with a shed load of emotional charge, societal pressure and more than a dash of politics attached, yet the aim is the same.
I've used it in play (can I stress the word PLAY) and it's been enjoyable in the reaction it brought out in the intended targets. There were a couple of points where I was getting a tad uncomfortable, so I lessened the pace a little to return to my comfort zone, otherwise a good time was had by all. I'd never consider using any of what happened in my "real" life any more than I'd take a strap to a random stranger - it was just a means to an end.
Provided the usual caveats around safe, sane, consensual, discuss limits in advance and appropriate aftercare are followed no reason why it couldn't be enjoyed by a consenting couple.
