***I didn't really keep on top of the replies so this post may be a bit long.*** quote:
ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I don't believe violence is part of a loving, caring relationship. Put me in the "Never OK" column. DaddySatyr, Do you consider bottom spankings violence? They can be very much part of a loving caring relationship... What about the idea of spanking the other cheeks do you dislike so much? quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyPact I think some people automatically assume that face slapping in non play situations is done in anger or with more force than necessary. That's simply not the case. Good morning to you to LadyPact, That difference between what is appropriate inside/outside "play situations" is giving me some problems. It's probably just another divide between a "sceneing", BDSM type of mindset, and a "non-sceneing", D/s one. I play of course. I have different sensibilities in public/private situations. But it doesn't switch on and off so much in my case as it seems to with others. quote:
ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt quote:
ORIGINAL: kalikshama Slapping outside the bedroom/punishment? That's so not happening. Some theory here: Your face represents who you are as a person. Striking someone's face can be psychologically damaging since it's a violent rejection or correction of who they are. It's definitely up there with the things that can trigger a nasty emotional mine. ChatteParfaitt, I do love your theorising. I tend to agree. Face slapping can impart a very interesting psychological impact. Or as Kali says... "psychological juice." I'd like to hear anymore thoughts you have on this! quote:
ORIGINAL: fucktoyprincess p.s. edited to clarify that face slapping in any other context outside of play I would view as physical abuse (the same as hitting someone in any way that has nothing to do with play/session). BDSM is not a cover for physical abuse. fucktoyprincess, That really seems like a very narrow minded view to me... There is a world of possibilities outside of whatever "play/sessions" that you participate in. What if someone doesn't perform scenes and the like? The idea that, unless someone's relationship conforms to what's familiar to you, it's probably abuse. Is not very impressive. Dominance & Submission isn't a game to some people, its just how they roll. Surely trying to incorporate it into their daily lives rather than just a playtime, doesn't mean it's abuse. You said this seems like an S&M activity to you. I can see that. Though I see it as a D/s activity, so we may be picturing different things. What do you or your partner get out of face slapping? quote:
ORIGINAL: MissImmortalPain (I have no idea what happened to my first post, my phone is crazy and at most of it. Hope this helps. MissImmortalPain, I write my posts on a phone as well, and have experienced the frustration of having it eat my long well thought out posts! Now rather that play Russian roulette with it, if I know I will be taking a while with a post, I just compose my it in the little notepad app that comes standard with most phones, and when it's ready. "Cut-Paste". quote:
ORIGINAL: littlewonder For us, it's always ok. Sometimes he slaps me because it turns us both on. Other times, he slaps me if he's upset with me or wants to get my attention about something. The difference is in how hard the slap is and his attitude with it. Even before I met him, I enjoyed slaps in and outside of the bedroom. But for me, I was never the inside the bedroom only type of person. littlewonder, You mention the two types of slapping there. The one thats a turn on and one that signifies he is upset with you. You said you enjoyed slapping inside and outside the bedroom. I take that to mean not solely within a sexual context. Can you explain a bit more about what exactly you experience when receiving the disapproval/upset with you type of slaps? quote:
ORIGINAL: Greta75 I enjoy face slapping in play. But I don't understand what you mean by outside the bedroom? You mean if a man gets angry with his girlfriend, is it okay to slap her in response? Of course not! Just like it's not acceptable to rape her! But if it's consensual rape play, like consensual face slapping, then it's okay. Greta75, What I mean by "Outside of the Bedroom", is... Outside of a sexual context, not when it's a kinky turn on but when meant as a correction or rejection of someone's behaviour. There's been a lot of talk lately about what consent is. If as a condition of entering into a relationship with someone. The sub agreed to take whatever treatment that her dom decide to inflict upon her. Then I think it only stops being consensual if she is prevented from leaving. Although I can see that this opinion does skirt quite close to domestic violence territory, so does most of what I dabble in. So I'm definitely open to discussion about it.
