ORIGINAL: DelightfulSpirit I have had several messages here on collarme.com questioning my stated limits. Here is my reply. First of all, what I do is not really "sexless" or "nonsexual," because there is a lot of sexual energy generated (and enjoyed by all parties). In the definition of SEX=Sacred Energy Exchange, of course all BDSM -- when it's good -- is SEX! For the purposes of this rant, I am going to use the definition of "sex"=hand-genital, orgasm, oral, intercourse. At this time, I want to not do that but I still want to do BDSM play. There's a lot more to BDSM than "sex". There's sensation play. There's beyond-the-bedroom Dominance/submission and service. There's grabbing hair, sending submissive into subspace, sense of satisfaction the Dominant can get from directing/dominating/guiding. Not everything has to include "sex". Even sexual or sensual *feelings* don't have to be acted out, they can be savored. Why do I want to have "no-sex" bdsm? Frankly, because so many people want me, and I don't want to have sex with "so many people". I just want to play without being pressured for sex. If I want to take a lover eventually, I can choose to let that develop when that time comes. Meanwhile, I just want friends to go to classes and events with. The only problem with this plan, as I see it so far, is that apparently it bothers some people to *read* about it. Well too bad. Of course my plan could also be a problem if I didn't have any play partners willing to respect these limits. But I do, and I value them highly. *We* aren't having any trouble with it. The rest of you, get off my back! I can't speak for other people. What bothers me in your post is not so much you stating what you want but then trying to tell people that BDSM isn't "all about sex". The denial of it as a major component. D/s is not all about sex. I will agree on that. As for BDSM...maybe it isn't all about sex for you...nor for others. But like it or not, sadism and masochism (the SM part of the equation) are defined as the arousal of sexual urges through either the infliction/receiving of pain. That has come to be redefined somewhat within some segments of the BDSM community as the arousal of sexual urges through the infliction/receiving of some sort of sensation...usually pain. That means that for those two areas at the very least, a HUGE part of it is sexual. And by the way, I do see that you recognize that there is a lot of sexual energy generated. Does that mean that those sexual urges need to go on to further avenues of exploration such as touching, sucking, kissing, intercourse, masturbation? No, of course it does not. I've had a few great scenes where my purpose was to get my submissive as sexually aroused as possible and then end it. I've also had a couple of sessions where both of us were very aroused and then I ended it. Would I want to do that steadily or every time I played? In all honesty, no. But that's me. And you will probably find those who are willing to engage in BDSM play without the sexual interaction being taken any further than arousal. I have my doubts though that it is going to be an easy task for you to find partners who are willing, deferring to consideration of how intensely you like to play each time, to do it over and over again without ever taking it further. I am not sure where you came up with the SEX acronym...in all honesty, I have not seen it before in my 8-9 years in this but that doesn't mean anything. I will say that an acronym is not the same thing as a definition and in this case, it seems that you are using it as the "sex" part that occurs during sadomasochistic play. If that works for you and whoever you choose as a partner, that's fine. It doesn't work for me. All that being said, no one has a right to contact you and try to convince you that you are wrong when their only purpose in trying to get you to see that your viewpoint is wrong is so that they can play with you. But there again....bad emails are nothing new on here...check the threads of just the last couple of weeks.
