MsAnnThrope -> FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/8/2008 11:31:59 PM)

I have received a lot of questions from subs, and newbies asking about what they should except from a session or if an online or personal experience would be more preferred. Those questions are difficult to answer because all Doms, Domme, Subs, and slaves are different. What not be right for one maybe what the other needs.  
 
The most important questions I can answer, such as  

1."When is okay to used the safe word?"  
2. "Does Sex Have to be involved in BDSM?"  
 

1.It is ALWAYS okay to use your safe word at anytime. That word is there to protect you. If a session is getting to rough or too intense that one word (or words) will let your Dom / Domme know when to stop. There is no shame in stopping. If you are scared or uncomfortable anytime during your session used your Signal. Even if it is your spouses, lover, or friend. Your Dom / Domme is there to beat you not to kill you =)  


2.No. Sex does not have to be involved in your session unless you want it too.  Remember this is your session. We all have limits. It may not be something that you are in to at the beginning, but the further you get into this lifestyle it may be something you want. A Sub has to remember that although you are letting someone tie you up, and bound you. You are still in control. You will always be in control.  
 
There are also more important question to be answered, but  that is for another time. Okay that’s the end of This FAQ, but if you have any question feel free to write me anytime.

What Greedy said, 'cause she's nicer than I would have been [:D]




Surrenderwithin -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/8/2008 11:44:35 PM)

I think she was more putting her thoughts out there than asking a question. I am just a little unclear as to why or what the topic kick start was suppose to be. Perhaps, she will clarify for us.




NihilusZero -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/8/2008 11:50:10 PM)

This will be the sort of thread from a newbie poster that will be hard not to jump on, as a viewer.

OP, if...

...then why is your thread presented in a way that seems to suggest you consider yourself the de facto place others should go to have their questions answered?





E2Sweet -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 12:20:44 AM)

She's pretty though... She reminds me of an actress, though I can't think of who... Kate Hudson maybe?




GreedyTop -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 12:58:11 AM)

Kate Hudson?  Nahhhh




stella41b -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 1:27:17 AM)

Is this some sort of a wind up?




GreedyTop -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 1:30:54 AM)

gotta be totally taking the piss, Stella.....  I mean, really.....




DesFIP -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 3:51:26 AM)

Why do newbies to the forums always assume everyone else here has no more sense than a head of lettuce? Sigh. I find it condescending as hell.




chamberqueen -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 5:38:45 AM)

I believe that the decision whether or not to have sex during a session should be a consensual one and talked about in advance.  There are many new people that assume it needs to be but it is certainly not necessary.  A session can be strictly D/s or S/m or some mix and be just as fulfilling to both parties.

What about those who choose not to use safewords but instead open communication?

A word will not protect a person. Just because someone claims to be a dom or top or what have you doesn't mean they will honor a spoken word to stop play. Never count on a word or think it's a magic protection. It is not. It is the people not the word.

1."When is okay to used the safe word?"  
When your mistress tells you it's ok

2. "Does Sex Have to be involved in BDSM?"  
 Absolutely, without a doubt, it depends on how hot they are.




CalifChick -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 6:33:18 AM)

Maybe we should acquaint her with the journal feature on the other side... since that's where her audience is.

does that mean your not going to answer the questions?

Well if no one else is going to play, then I am going to the park. If any of the wonderful women want to join me, I promise to use my safe word and yes, sex might be included.




CalifChick -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 6:39:55 AM)

Did she have a question?  One of the simplest things to remember, in so many areas (work, home, play), is "know your audience." 

At work, can you sell me copy machine toner if I don't have a copier? No. 
At home, can I expect the kids to sit quietly if they are tired and cranky and dinner is an hour late? No.
At play, can I expect that I will get a warm reception if I start preaching to people that have more than a clue as to what they're doing? No.

Know your audience.

Cali




IronBear -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 6:41:42 AM)

Before I ever p;osted here I lurked for a couple of months reading everything so I had an idea what I was getting into.. Sorta.. LOL

But hey folks, give the OP a fair go. So what if she sounds like another one who wants to teach us all how to suck eggs? At least her post was short and to the point and neither preached garbage nor was plagerized like another poster of recent times who tried to demonstrate how dumb we all are eh?.




Aileen1968 -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 7:00:40 AM)

Uh oh....I've been doing it all wrong.




DesFIP -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 7:06:36 AM)

And once again, someone who assumes that everybody is into s & m.
Lonely bondage freak sitting quietly on the sidelines, sob. [:(]




SassySarijane -> RE: FAQ: When to use a Signal & Other question (12/9/2008 7:08:30 AM)

*Hugs DesFIP* There, there now. You are not alone, I promise. Ever tried suspension bondage?
