what i want to know, is who is laughing in the face of SSC?

quote:

  Would you participate in bdsm activities while drunk or high or allow someone who is drunk or high to participate with you?

quote:

  Do you believe that your dom/master/owner has the right to kill you and stand by if he/she ever tried to do so? (Same goes for permanent disfigurement?)

quote:

  Do you care whether the person who plays with you has ever used a given implement before? Do you ask when meeting someone for the first time if they have had any education on how to properly to x, y, and z? Would you stop a scene if you realized someone had no idea what they were doing?

yes to the first part, for the second part i'll have to piggyback jauntyone's answer...i'm a slave, i don't "allow" or not allow my Master or anyone else to do anything. so if someone were under the influence of drugs of some fashion and wished to engage in bdsm activities with me, well then that is what would happen. it's really none of my business.


Do you believe that your dom/master/owner has the right to kill you and stand by if he/she ever tried to do so? (Same goes for permanent disfigurement?)

yes he has that right, and i accepted that fact before i made the decision to become property.

Do you care whether the person who plays with you has ever used a given implement before? Do you ask when meeting someone for the first time if they have had any education on how to properly to x, y, and z? Would you stop a scene if you realized someone had no idea what they were doing?

do i care? no, not really, since it has no relevance to anything.. do i ask questions? no, of course not. it wouldn't be place to do so. as for stopping a "scene", that's hard to answer since we don't engage in scening, however it's not my place to stop the actions of any other person who is making use of me, whatever the reason. that would be my Master's job.

so i suppose we would be perfect examples of folks who don't live, believe in, or preach SSC. :)

If you are a Dom:

Would you play with someone who was unable to make a choice regarding his/her own actions? For example, if a person were a minor, mentally handicapped, or severely drunk, high, or drugged up, or if they only "consented" under coersion? Or would you play with someone while on drugs?

quote:


Do you believe in things that are not true in the "real world" for example that your ownership of someone includes your right to take his/her life, injure, or disfigure them - or more accurately - the right to do this without being subject to some outside standards of society if you were caught?

quote:

Do you pick up a toy or weapon and start haphazardly using it on someone without attempting to learn what you're doing first?

quote:

Do you use any implement including your hands in any way you see fit without regard for what part of the body you are using it on, how hard you are using it, or what potential harm might be inflicted?

Think about your answers to these questions. The "obvious" ones are what the spirit of SSC or RACK are supposed to be. It's not about spouting out words, it's about the intention. I hate it that people demonize a saying or phrase just because it has become perverted over the years. OK, so you might not be out chanting SSC in the streets, but who is? If your answers to the questions I've asked (and they are by no means the only questions that need to BE asked) are landing you on the side of an ignorant, dillusional, sociopath, then you probably aren't on here trying to educate and better yourself anyway.

quote:

The organized gay-rights movement has been accused many a time of marginalizing those who don’t fit a "respectable" or "straight-acting" image, and in some cases that’s a fair objection. But when it came to choosing a slogan for the S/M-Leather-Fetish Contingent in the 1987 march, that wasn’t our intention.

Note that this first use of "safe, sane, and consensual" occurred in a context that also included concepts like community, responsibility, tradition, education, and gay liberation. Moreover, the rubric "safe, sane, and consensual" itself was explicitly presented as embracing all degrees of commitment, from "a total lifestyle" to "an occasional adventure," as well as S/M practitioners ranging from novices to veterans.

Therefore, rather than saying, "This is what S/M is, and it’s okay, nothing to be worried about," the GMSMA statement of purpose said, in effect, "This is the kind of S/M we stand for and support. S/M can be damaging, crazy, or coercive, but it doesn’t have to be, and together we’re going to learn how to tell the difference." If someone was deliberately careless or irresponsible, or broke agreements about limits, we didn’t say, "He’s not doing S/M" but rather, "He’s not doing the kind of S/M we can support."

Would you participate in bdsm activities while drunk or high or allow someone who is drunk or high to participate with you? i would with Him, and i would with someone else if He wished it. i would not do so of my own accord, if i were choosing when, where, and with whom the play happened.

Do you believe that your dom/master/owner has the right to kill you and stand by if he/she ever tried to do so? (Same goes for permanent disfigurement?) yes, i gave that right over when i took His collar. i would not stand by if i thought He was not Himself - if He was having a reaction to meds or something like that. but as long as i am sure He is of, well, normal (sound is a bit sketchy here) mind (for Him), what He chooses to do with me is His choice.

Do you care whether the person who plays with you has ever used a given implement before? Do you ask when meeting someone for the first time if they have had any education on how to properly to x, y, and z? Would you stop a scene if you realized someone had no idea what they were doing?  see answer to first question. in a nutshell: when i am given the rein to arrange scening with play partners of my own choice, etc. i will always choose to play with people who know what  they are doing. if He is dictating the situation, or has "loaned" me out, i would concern myself with being pleasing and let them worry about which end to hold the flogger.
