If others can do It why cant I. Many dont base what they see on reality but on fantasy. And I think thats why she reacted. I understand you cant police people. But You also have to look out for the people new in the life so that they get in situations you claim stupid.
It is commendable to want to protect people, and everyone should look out for their neighbor. Yes we are our brothers keeper...to SOME degree..but we are not his Sheperd!! Stay with me for a couple of lines adn you will see where I am going.
I agree with George Carlin.."I love this country for the freedoms we used to have". Everyday the Government steps in and takes more and more rights away from us in the name of health, welfare and big brother. We can choose to smoke as long as it is not in our office, our restaurants, our colleges, schools, in 300 feet of a hospital )poor dad waiting to hear a baby has been born must go across the street and down the road from the PARKING Lot now in Florida), etc. They have tried to stap parents from smoking in their cars but that got shot down.
They are trying to bail out people who got in over their heads on Mortgages buying more house than they could reasonably afford if they had to change jobs. The heck with the rates rising, if they lost their jobs and had to take a lower salary they were screwed out the starting gate.
Don't spank your child it is abuse and they can have you arrested, BUT in some states you can be arrested for what your child does..go figure. This country has tried to regulate our sexuality since it's inception and just about everything we do is against the law.
Ok so where am I going? Someone maybe New to the public scene, but that does not mean they are one to what it is that they do. They are hopefully not a noob when it comes to finding out how to do things, whether it is replacing a washer on the faucet, wiring a lamp or suspending themselves by their arms. Yes they can watch the demo, the movies, read the books, etc. but there is a very strong chance that they have tried this at home long before they stepped out into the public scene, and if they haven't they go to that demo and ask them to show them how to do it safely. We lose 200 people minimum a year to hanging..MOST are alone when they die. We dislocate shoulders in hogties (even when we are experienced accidents happen), break a bone, an ankle, get cut by a whip (usually the first to get cut is the one learning to wield it) and do a lot of injuries to ourselves in the name of sexual pleasure. Guess what? Happens in the vanilla world too. Hardest time I ever had not laughing was listening to a vanilla friend of mine explain how she had dislocated her neck orgasming and falling off the bed. No rough sex just a misjudgement as to where they were on a satin clad bed at a critical moment.
We can tell them over and over again..go to demos, read books, get help but ultimately if they want to strap those ski's on, get out on the Black Diamond Slope and aim themselves nekkid downhill while balancing a pot of scalding water on their head and piercing their nipples at the same time while having never taken a lesson and conquered the bunny slope... well there will either be a very rich doctor in their future.. or more space for those who stop and learn before doing.
The pictures are out there, the stories as well (the ones I write come with disclaimers and very strong warnings unlike most porn books), TV's and Movies and Jackass make producers rich and there is little we can say or do to stop someone from proving Darwin right. Mother Nature has a way however..if you get hurt, you heal and try to do it safer if you do it at all, if you fuck up bad enough, well Darwin is a harsh Daddy.
