mogigo, one thing to remember is that you would not be re-enacting out the rape. If you do decide to do BDSM it should be consensual for every person involved. If it isn't, then it isn't BDSM. Unlike when you were a teenager, you can always give or withdraw your consent in BDSM. If you are with someone who tries to tell you otherwise, run, don't walk, from them and never look back. They are likely someone who isn't playing in reality but is stuck in their fantasy of what BDSM is or worse they are an abuser who is trying to use the terms of BDSM to find targets. Ideas that a partner in a Ds relationship has given up the right to withdraw consent is a subject for very advanced and experienced people in my opinion and not something for you to play with when you start off especially when you are a survivor. I know the confusion and the concerns. There was a time when I started therapy that I was worried that I had become my abusers but my wonderful therapist told me just what I've told you. BDSM is far different from abuse and consent is part of what makes it far different.
