ORIGINAL: kalikshama ps - I've been punched in the nose in anger, which cracked a bone, required an emergency room visit, and led to two black eyes. It was very different from the consensual face-slapping I've rec'd over the years. I do know the difference between violence and consensual BDSM. If face slapping isn't your thing, that's fine, but as someone who has experienced domestic violence, I'm offended when people call consensual face slapping violent as if it were the same as domestic violence. Risky, sure. How risky is what I am trying to ascertain, because I do believe in being risk aware. Disclosure : My dear old Dad was an actual killer and convicted domestic felon. Point : In 17 years of more or less constant low grade fear punctuated with special occasions, I cannot recall him going for the face, except while in an actual fight. Conclusion : Domestic violence may be another topic. I believe I put forward my view of the risks. And it is true I said I don't think it's that great an idea. So, there we are. I went to an Impact demo at the Fetish Factory's Memorial Day extravaganza two years in a row. A guy hooks up his women to a St. Andrews cross, puts on boxing gloves, and starts punching her. While I know intellectually she is not being abused, my brain has a hard time not processing it as abuse. Face slapping carries a lot of psychological juice.
