ORIGINAL: Elegant Just to note (cause all these comments seem to focus on the Top): Master Archer and I have been 'experimenting' with a reverse anger-related play..letting me release my rage 'on' him in a controlled manner. Our workshop synopsis: ~Fighting For Your Mind - Primal Purge Ritual The warrior spirit is part of us all. It’s a fundamental, provoking force that can turn the meek into the formidable. Being a warrior is an emotional and primal reality as much as it’s a moral and spiritual one Rage, fear, terror, anger, fury. A primal purge ritual enables the warrior spirit to release these emotions in a safe and yet primal way, something a bottom doesn’t often get to do. A primal act sends a very strong message to the subconscious mind to ‘let it all hang out!’ Learn the difference between Primal Purge Ritual and resistance play, how to achieve and recognize the initial signs of bottom rage, how to stay in control of your scene and positively harness the after effects Thank you for opening up this new direction for the thread. I've been wondering if the "No Anger in S&M" people apply this rule to the bottom as well as the top. If a masochist comes home from a tough day at the orifice feeling not just stressed in general but actually angry, herself (your pronouns may vary), must she forbid herrself any SM? And what if she is a submissive and You Know Who happens to want some whupass time?. Does she nevertheless lay down the law and tell him no, because there is no room for anger in S&M? How does this prohibition operate in actual cases, is what I'm wondering. By the way, comments from anyone who holds a strong personal prohibition against anger in S&M are also solicited. Elegant, I have a friend who is interested in processing rage in an S&M setting. Your blurb seems to suggest that you have this all figured out and can teach someone what things need to be sorted out, what their names are, and how to sort them, etc. Even as implicit claims those strike me as rather bold. This Primal Purge Ritual, is this some aspect of the human condition, in your view, or is it an exercise you have designed, or what? The blurb makes it sound as though you are ready and willing to operate on things which are possibly very deep in another human being, possibly connected to all manner of other particulars about which you would have no way of knowing, that I can see. And since it is not addressed to the situation of a particular bottom but stated in terms of general principles it obviously can't rely an empathy born of long-term intimacy and care. I'm wondering what sort of basis these theories of yours about this aspect of human psychology have. I'm wondering just how soon you would be willing to jump in this deep with someone who read your blurb and decided as a result to turn up at your door for this sort of ... well I guess you call it training, but please correct me if I've taken you wrong here or elsewhere. I hope the way I've put the questions expresses the neutral spirit in which they are asked. Thanks
