It is not often that I feel moved to post to these forums but on this occassion I felt the need to. This post was on another thread but I felt it needed clarifying.

It seems from this mons, that you think people who do things that you do not like or approve of are sick. There are many things discussed here that I don't like, scat, watersports and ageplay being 3 of them. Do I think people that engage in those practices are sick? No. If it makes them happy fine and if they are not involving me, so what. I too have had a Dominant use Tiger Balm on my clitoris during play. Did I enjoy it? yes. Was he sick to do this? Of course not, it is part of normal BDSM play for many people.

My current Master enjoys needle play which often is very painful, in fact he once sewed my labia shut. It was an experience we both enjoyed and would do again when the time is right. Am I sick to let him do that? Nope. Is he sick? No again. He is a Dominant with many years experience who cares for and protects his subs but also enjoys all sorts of extreme play with them.

Everyone here has their own idea of what they consider to be acceptable to them in what they do. However, because I don't like something that someone else does, does not make me right and them wrong, nor does it make them sick to do it. If they are not forcing me to take part then it is up to them what they do and what makes them happy. Please remember that these forums are read by new people here and by some outsiders and to brand a fairly normal practice sick may give totally the wrong impression.

I believe I am of the same mind as the OP.  There are things that 'we', collectively, do that might not be of interest to me, but if it doesn't send someone to the hospital, to jail, or to the morgue, then it doesn't bother me.

The first real BDSM function I attended was a rather largish pansexual event with all different sorts there.  I met an adult baby, a rather interesting fellow with diaper and bottle and little hoodie and all.  I 'saw' rather than met one of the most gorgeous not-female-born people I have ever seen.  I saw people playing pretty rough for my naive-at-the-time notions.  I saw gays and lesbians, and not to say I had led a sheltered life, but I had never encountered 'out' people before.

What did I take away from this.  It's not all 'my deal', but it IS theirs, and that's quite all right.

I wish everyone felt the same way, but apparently not so.

Jeff

If people would take the time to realize that this is all consensual, the word 'sick' may not be used so often.  I have done many things others may call sick, extremes that many would not ever want to try. I am far from being sick nor are the Men I have done these things with.

mons is entitled to her opinion.  I think some practices ARE sick.  Let's say someone is a zoophile or a pedophile.  Should this be considered acceptable, because we do not want to step on toes?  Since when did stating your opinion become such a problem on a forum like this one? 
 
I admire anyone who can stand for what they believe, whether it is popular to do so or not.

Oh please.  What is going on today?  You take someone's post from another thread and use it as the topic of a new thread to invite others to critisize? 

Lots of things are 'sick'.  Is rape sick?  Murder sick?  abuse sick?  Sewing a cunt closed sick?  taking a whipping sick?  Its all subjective.  what gives you the entitlement to tell another person how they should view something and whether or not they should voice that view?

She is most certainly entitled to her opinion.  Neither of the examples you use should have a place in the BDSM lifestyle.  Consensual is the word.  And if my post somehow stepped on someones toes, it was not meant to have that effect.

Pedphilia is illegal in all states and zoophilia is in most.   That being said, I may not agree with someones choices and kinks. As long as they are legal and consensual, do whatever floats your boat.

Of course not, it is part of normal BDSM play for many people.

I don't think mons was saying that there are plain old sick people out there.  Hell she even said she liked clit torture.  I think that perhaps the "sick" she was referring to in reference to her adult son would be the asshats and the abusers and the *real* sickos, those that do severely illegal things.  (Do not get me started on the semantics on LEGAL, people)

I think that she's talking about those people that DO maliciously abuse WITHOUT consent.  Those that RAPE, not play-rape consentually. Etc, etc.

Way to take things out of context instead of thinking about it.  What she was actually responding to was someone who DOES think that other people's kink is sick.  If this is the response that I think it is to a certain thread.  Which is a whole other can 'o worms.

My current Master enjoys needle play which often is very painful, in fact he once sewed my labia shut. It was an experience we both enjoyed and would do again when the time is right. Am I sick to let him do that? Nope. Is he sick? No again. He is a Dominant with many years experience who cares for and protects his subs but also enjoys all sorts of extreme play with them.

Please remember that these forums are read by new people here and by some outsiders and to brand a fairly normal practice sick may give totally the wrong impression.

Re-read what I posted above so I don't have to repeat myself.
 





Oh yeah, and since when was it ok to hijack someone's post, most likely without their permission and opening it (even more) to the forum public for "clarification"?

Why not email MONS and ask MONS what she meant?

I know that mons is a little hard to understand sometime....but we all are.  But the person to ask for clarification would BE THE OP of that particular post.

For shame.

Why should anyone in this lifestyle critize some elses prefrences. You have your kink they have theirs. To many people bring their vanilla thinking in here. To many in here think that things should be done their way or it is the worng way. The picky pettiness in this forum sucks.

Just as you have proved with your post Susie, everyone has a right to their opinion, but hijacking a thread and going on a public witch hunt seems to me a little bizarre, although im sure it will get you the attention you so obviously think you deserve..... maybe your Master should have sewn your mouth and your fingers together instead.

Had I given another example I would have been attacked as being "judgemental".. However, IMHO there are several practices that are accepted wihtin the lifestyle that have no relation to BDSM. 
 
As I said, it is all a matter of opinion.  I know there are those who say they are into BDSM and call themselves lifestylers who fuck animals. 

edited to add:  Consent IS the key.

I can't find the thread which started this thread. Perhaps it's been moved (or deleted) or it could be I'm just having a dumb day, but this is for Mons. I'm not angry at 'you' Mons .. I am attacking your view of one particular S/M practice. There is a difference. I do think you're entitled to that view and my questions were specific to you and that view. How you arrived at it, why you think it, things along those lines. I'm asking you to support your view, that's it. You put it out there, this is a discussion forum, so, in my mind, that's what's supposed to happen. Someone says something they should be willing to defend it.

Just to clarify, I am not an 18 year old woman, I'm 46 and I've been actively involved in S/M since 1982. I have a lot of experience on both sides of the fence with clit torture including irritant play. I understand there is risk involved in much of what we do including that form of play and I choose to take those risks for the benefits which I gain from them. The people with whom I interact on an S/M level are all adults and they also choose to take those risks. 

You are entitled to your opinion. I do not begrudge you your view. I only asked you to defend it with logical reasoning as to why you feel the way you do. You came up with a single, unsupported opinion which is not a fact as to why.  (That in time one will lose their feeling.) Are you sure about that? How much time? How often does one have to indulge in this play before they lose their feeling? Does it happen the first time? The 10th time? The 1000th time? How do you know? What do you base it on? Instead of telling me what you feel about it, convince me with facts that I shouldn't be doing it. Use logic and reason on me. It works. Despite what you may think, I'm not the one who is emotional about this issue, Mons. I sit here ready to be convinced. I have an open mind and it is open to your viewpoint. I want to be clear that even with logic and sound reasoning, I may 'still' choose to indulge, so the best I can offer is a chance for you to change my mind. No more than that.

It's all good Mons. I think you are a nice lady. Perhaps too nice and that's why this bothers you. Your compassion is deciding for you instead of your logic.

I'm going to give an example of something that I think is sick and wrong. Engaging in BDSM with anyone or anything who does not or cannot consent as a human adult. I'll defend that statement till the day I die so it's not that I think that 'everything' is OK. There are things which ARE sick, but, generally speaking, when we are talking about reasonable adults consenting to do nasty things to one another, when those things don't harm someone else or engage them without their knowledge.. most of those are going to be OK whether I personally indulge in them or not.

As the old saying goes..."Just because you can; doesn't mean you should."   Defending the right to express one's behavior is one thing; defending the right to act capriciously and injuriously may be another.  I often have difficulty in the concept of pushing limits into infinity. I feel there are a lot of circumstances where "practice issues" transcend safe boundaries... so once  a  D (Dom/Domme) or M (Master/Mistress) has filled in the checklist of thresholds; and all that's left is unsafe practice...since the boundaries have mmm expanded...does that now make it proper to make one's sub/slave perform them?  For instance: if being 'rimmed' is an act of submission...does that mean it is a progression to move into open mouthed scat? Same orfice...just a small perceptual change in amount of excreta... So sick and perversion and kink are a fluid boundary depending on where limits and experience lie.
Again my perspective comes from dealing with the psychological and physical aftermath of unwise or too far acts; so it is hard for me to sing the praises of carte blanc "practice."  A submissive friend of mine in the Florida scence's biggest fear was; to awake from an endorphin fog, only to find herself naked and brutalized on a St Andrews cross in  a room of strangers. The point being; journeys may begin under  one set of expectations; their ending may be far from what one one may have anticipated.
The majority of responders here have clear and seemingly accepted behavioral boundaries. I worry more about the ones we never hear from here, who may be more predatory. Safety and consensuality work only when it is a shared event. 
Sorry for the rambling... it is the duality of healing and pushing those damn limits.

Sometimes a feeling cannot be squared away with logic.  To me, what I do myself is sick.  Why do I feel this way?  Who knows.  societal conditioning?  Uprbringing?  It just feels twisted and abnormal to me. Do I still engage in it?  Yes, because I like it, but I still think it's "sick" or "perverted" or "twisted" or "deviant". 


I cant speak for Mons or your exchange with her and thats not what Im attempting to do, but consent or not we all have feelings on what we think qualifies as 'sick' even in a 'lifestyle' (I hate that word, but a better one eludes me at the moment)  where we are more accepting than the average people.  I think its sick to want to eat shit.  Some people think its sick to slaughter animals for food and leather jackets.  Others think its sick to stick needles through your breasts.  Health risk reasons? Pyschological damage reasons?  Whats the difference "why" the person thinks something is sick.  One person will agree and another wont.

i have teenaged young men... 'sick' to them means it's a good thing... i.e.  'that car is sick'... translation: "i want a car like that"

I've been there. I am no longer there. I've gone through a process and discarded what I was fed by society for most of my life. That was 'my' process. It worked for me. It may work for others. We don't have to buy in to what's being sold to us as a bill of goods.

Why do I feel this way?  Who knows.  societal conditioning?  Uprbringing?  It just feels twisted and abnormal to me. Do I still engage in it?  Yes, because I like it, but I still think it's "sick" or "perverted" or "twisted" or "deviant". 


Would you rather not struggle with it? Would you rather embrace it, revel in it, thrive on it and be proud of the fact that you do it? I decided I wanted the latter so took the steps which were necessary for me to get to that place. Others can do that as well if they so choose. Sometimes they forget they can choose to do so though, so this is sort of like a reminder to that cause. :)


quote:

I cant speak for Mons or your exchange with her and thats not what Im attempting to do, but consent or not we all have feelings on what we think qualifies as 'sick' even in a 'lifestyle' (I hate that word, but a better one eludes me at the moment)  where we are more accepting than the average people.  I think its sick to want to eat shit.  Some people think its sick to slaughter animals for food and leather jackets.  Others think its sick to stick needles through your breasts.  Health risk reasons? Pyschological damage reasons?  Whats the difference "why" the person thinks something is sick.  One person will agree and another wont.


I engage in causes which appear to be hopeless at times and, actually, usually they are .. but not always and that's because I don't view them as 'hopeless' but rather as I have hope, that people can grow and learn and embrace new ideas and new ways of thinking if not the actual activities.

I am not the same person I was 20 years ago. I don't have the same thoughts, I don't think the same way. Who is to say that tomorrow you or Mons or someone else may not change what they view as 'sick' today ... and tomorrow think of it as, if not terrific at least OK and acceptable for others.

If I say nothing then I am not true to 'myself' and I can't fight the good fight if I don't go to the battle. My battle is ignorance and I try to fight it with logic and reason. I shall continue to do so. Sometimes I'll be successful, sometimes I won't but I will be there regardless of my chances.

Oh yeah, and since when was it ok to hijack someone's post, most likely without their permission and opening it (even more) to the forum public for "clarification"?

Why not email MONS and ask MONS what she meant?

I know that mons is a little hard to understand sometime....but we all are.  But the person to ask for clarification would BE THE OP of that particular post.

For shame.


 
I think it is wrong to take people's words out of context of their original setting to paint an individual as having an opinion they do not really hold perhaps... it is spinning and building a strawman. The quote was not necessary in order to spur debate on this topic. It is something I have great trouble understanding... taking others words out of their context to build up another point of view... not necessary

Celeste:

Wow...Lots of excellent questions.  I actually went away thinking maybe my post came off as uppity.  Im glad you didn't take offense.  I just sometimes get riled up over the undercurrent that somehow we have to all just be so open-minded that everything short of murder is 'ok'.   I have to admit I thought the whole cunt stitch thing was sick myself, and I restrained myself from saying it on that thread. Then I left the house earlier after reading your post today, asking myself "why" I see it that way.

I know your post here wasnt orignally written to me, but you have put up alot of food for thought and I want to respond in full, because all of your comments and questions are very thought-provoking,  and I want to examine those questions in my own head. 

Be back a bit later when I can respond at length.  I hope you will read it at your leisure and offer your counter-thougths.  Id appreciate that. 

:)

This is the reason I posted. It was in the hope (not hopeless after all!) that someone, somewhere would question themselves. I look forward to reading your response .. whatever it is. :)
