ORIGINAL: LadyPact Of course, inspired by another thread. How do you, personally, handle those mkiyk situations? Do you skip a post? Leave the room? Talk about something else? Do you find a different connection, and leave it at that? Depends on which end of it I'm on. ;) If folks are having a discussion about a kink I'm not into for whatever reason, I tend to handle it just as I do any subject I am not interested in or have a disagreement with I wish to avoid: I sit and listen politely and wait for the conversation to turn or start chatting on another subject with someone else. If it's just the two of us talking, then I listen politely and then let them know it's not an area I'm into or knowledgeable of either pursue an area of shared interest or have us disengage. Or, in the case of online forums, I read and learn, share what I can in relation to it or skip to the next post. If I'm on the receiving end of someone making it unpleasantly clear they don't approve of my kink, I tend to handle it much the same at first. I try to deflect or ignore it, but if they persist beyond polite disagreement for an extended time or level then I'll express myself more directly or forcefully... assuming they're not causing me to laugh due to their viewpoint and/or how they're expressing it. Ditto, again, on forums. I tend to avoid things if people get that way, but if there's too much stupidity or rudeness taking place I'll sometimes make a comment, usually a joke as I'm cracking up from it. Oh, and if we're talking about seeing a scene that makes me sick (I'm a bit squeamish in regards to seeing or hearing about medical things, though I'm fine to do them) or upset then I just focus on something else or go to another area away from it.
