I'm willing to try many things, but if I don't like them, why should I have to endure them? Isn't the whole thing about the enjoyment of the experience by both parties? This whole BDSM thing means lots of things... I might suggest that what you describe is kink, and aspects of BDSM, but not necesarilly the D/s (Dominant/submissive) portion of it and probably more of a top/bottom dynamic. I think other posters are coming at it from a D/s point of view where "I don't like it" isn't really an appropriate reason for a limit if you're being submissive. We're a complicated bunch, we all have our niches and preferences in our BDSM playground.

I don't have long conversations with my new partner about bdsm. I just do it and work out the details as we go along. .. and in a consensual bdsm relationship where your partner has a measure of who you are and how you like things to be, then fine, alls well and horny. its when people dont work out the details as they go along, which includes the begining bit aswell, that things can start to significantly blow. i dont think you have to have laboured conversations about any of it, but you do need to find a common ground and you do need to know what you want from it all.

OmegaG -> RE: that little/big word concensual (3/13/2008 8:48:49 AM)
some details are important to work out, if someone has a phobia about needles or blood or the likes. But if it's variations of activities that are already established as desireable then no further negotation is needed, I think.

I guess everybody is different, but Daddy knows I consent to anything he does to me. If he does bring me to my breaking point which he hasn't yet, I can withstand alot of pain. I will say uncle meaning stop I've had enough. Sailing Bum I agree planned out kink isn't our style either it has to be spontanious[;)].

(hey, have you and my Dom been talking Archer? j/k i know for a fact you haven't)... quote: ORIGINAL: lally3 it just bugs me, possibly unreasonably, because its none of my business what people do with their lives, but as the last half of your sydney harris quote says, it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. i also wanted to reply to this too... chosen apathy because "it's not my problem" is almost as intolerable to me as outright cruelty...so, if you want to provide information to new people out there - and that is what you are doing, you are not spamming their inboxes, or anouncing it like it's the appocolypse...- i say go for it...they can either read it or not, it is up to them, but you have done what you can, don't regret that... chelle

Leatherist -> RE: that little/big word concensual (3/13/2008 10:41:38 AM)
My take is that people tend to consent to what they really desire. And the desire of some, is to feel thay have that right taken away-it excites them. But they also have at least enoiugh smarts not to choose chainsaw muderers to submit to.[:D]

he didnt talk to me about it atall he just did it, (((( but badly. )))) newbie subs offerring themselves up as sacrificial maidens to the unseen Lord of Netland is stoopid, sorry stupid.[sm=flowers.gif] i just dont think those two concepts sit well together is all im saying. spontaneous Dominance is hot - when you *know and trust* your Dom. subs submitting to their Dom is what subs should do and presumably they have already worked out, more or less, to some degree, lets hope, what is likely listed as possibles, strong possibles and absolutely without any question going to happen, like it or not. all hot all good. the point of this post was to suggest that newbies need to observe the consensual element and work out what they want before they go offereing everything to the 'have a go' halfwits that prey on newbies for all the obvious and recognised reasons.

ownedgirlie -> RE: that little/big word concensual (3/13/2008 11:11:09 AM)
I have mixed views about the word consent. Consent does not automatically mean lack of abuse. Sometimes people are in unhealthy situations and either don't realize it or can't find their way out. I consented to the abuse I received in my marriage, in that I allowed him to treat me the way he did. WHY I allowed it is a whole other conversation, but I did allow it, and it was abuse. Fast forward to my Master and I. I suppose one could say when I begged for his ownership, and his way of ownership, that I consented to anything that might come my way as a result. There are lots of things that I have endured with him that I never wanted to endure. But belonging to him is better than not belonging to him, and I would have my life no other way. I trust his overall plan and outlook. I trust what he does. While I might hate the individual experience of something he is doing with/to me, I benefit from it in the long run. It is not abuse because my spirit thrives as his slave. This opinion of mine is not limited to sexual activities or what movie we're going to see. It's inclusive of however he chooses to conduct my life and our relationship. I am currently enduring some decisions that are, for lack of a better word, excruciating. Am I consenting to outside forces dictating what happens in our world? No, but I'm accepting it. Am I consenting to his decisions as to what to do about it? I suppose I am. I don't like it, but I accept it. I'm not always going to like his decisions. I'm not always going to agree with them. I don't see consent/non-consent as even being in the picture here. I submit to his will and that means I accept his decisions. This applies to sex, BDSM activities, life decisions, and everything beyond and in between. It's not a philosophy agreed with by everyone, but it is mine.

I think you're right, lally, and it's a good warning to newbies. I believe it is important to have the 'limits' discussion before submitting to a Dom. The 'have a go' method is dangerous and could easily open the newbie up to things that he/she never thought of before. It's just common sense. Master and I had the initial 'limits' conversation when we first began our relationship. We had another chat recently (3 months later) because my mind has opened through being with him, and I am willing to move some things from my hard limits to my soft limits - my yes, please, let's work on those, Sir - list. [:)] It's all a matter of trust, and it's smart, at first, when the Dominant is an unknown to hold back on those things that are borderline. YMMV! It's a rather quick, easy conversation giving him consent to many things, but I'll never know in advance what it is he's chosen to push limits on or what he plans to do that day... that's part of the suspense and surprise, and it's delish!

Archer -> RE: that little/big word concensual (3/13/2008 11:24:32 AM)
I tend to add the word informed to consent more often than not. It's a little higher standard than simple consent. I think the problem is not so much in the minutia of asking permission to do every little act of dominance. (which of course negates the dominance) But rather that the people both understand and know that A is going to control the action and Z is going to accept that control. And how far and how long that control is going to be extended. How informed one needs to be would also be directly related to how much control is being exercised. (ie the more areas and longer the control is to last, the more informed the person submitting to that control needs to be.)
