BDSM, is it Cultural?

[00Syd]

Jew Thought Police. I told ya, Syd.
!

You were right, you were right! I should have listened to you all along. Harumph.

 

[00Syd]

Racist issues are one thing I don’t fuck with, ever. That’s it.

I hope you can understand that.

Jesus, I hope no one really thought my musings on Jewish kink were racist. I'm Jewish myself and all of my major experiences with humor amongst my family were mainly based on making fun of ourselves. I completely truly and in all seriousness had no idea that Hasid was a slur, so I hope I didn't offend anyone.




Now we can alllll get back to talkin' about the serious stuff. Like Dom Fights.

 

[DeservingBitch]

By the way, what class do you teach?

This term, a class on globalization. Mostly addressing different critiques of the dominant discourses/narratives on globalization.

In the past, I've taught intro to politics, intro to political theory, critical security studies, and intro to research in social sciences.

 

[DeservingBitch]

Yes, lets get back to this.

So, are they going to fight naked? In mud? Jell-O?

Or are we thinking something more along the lines of classic boxing? Shorts, gloves, no shirts, in a ring?

Or sumo-like? Maybe Shank could lend them some thongs?

What says you?

 

[intothewoods]

Jew Thought Police. I told ya, Syd.

People people, I never said racist. As I explained, it's just not a nice word when used like, hey, that hasid...

Anyway, I didn't realize Syd was Jewish. Where was the secret handshake? The horns?

Anyway, Jews and kink really do go hand and hand. While we do guilt well, we don't tend to associate it with sex. Go figure.

I've been served papers before. Very unpleasant process, even if she does look hot in the uniform.

Um, no. We're getting along fine. Sorry, ladies. No dom fights.

DB, I am not your fighting monkey.

Oh we are SO going to throw down, mutha fucka.

Um, no. We're getting along fine. Sorry, ladies. No dom fights.

That's not what I heard.

 

[Homburg]

Mwah.

That's not what I heard.

Have people been talking about me and not letting me in on it? Boooo.

Nasty rumours make me giggle. Share!

Ok. I didn't want to violate DB's trust, but we've been internetboinking for months now based on a long, hot steamy story that we've been cowriting based on me, you, DB a monkey suit, a strap on and a tennis racket. I'm afraid I can't reveal anything else, according to our agreement.

I definitely think a naked Jello-O wrestling Dom Fight match is in order.


....MORTAL KOMBAT!!!


(Fight!)



(Finish him!)

You didn't see the secret handshake because it's SECRET. Duh.

I actually think that our eXtreme skilzz when it comes to guilt really have a helping hand in the kink department, even if it is a somewhat subconscious thing. My mother, for example, shows affection through guilt which is pretty twisted in itself, and has probably had a hand in twisting me into thinking some pretty un-conventional things are affectionate.

But thats just me.

Absolutely! Also, I think culturally, we often feel like outsiders, and we are also sort of an intense bunch. All these things lend quite nicely to kink.

I feel vaguely violated.

Hm, I never thought about the outsider aspect and the intensity. But you are completely right.

Now every time one of my relatives absolutely INSISTS that I eat something, pushes me into a chair, and places a large plate of some type of organ meat in front of me and I eat it (even though I'm not at all hungry, and organ meat is cringe-worthy), I'll probably find myself considering all this perhaps lending to my kinky ways, which will in turn lead me to think about something completely inappropriate to think about in front of family.

Great.

Ha! Ew. I never had that growing up, thankfully.

Leonard Nimoy's Spock character is based in part of the experience of growing up an orthodox Jew in America. I'm slightly obsessed with the all Jews are outsiders thing, as I grew up a sort of misplaced east coast Jewish intellectual in a surfer town. So I admit I may place a bit toooo much emphasis on that.

Whadya got, axis powers?

Mmmmm, I love Spock. And I never knew that about the character, thats really interesting.

damn

I miss so much around here while I'm off having hot sex with my GF.



oh well....

Yes yes yes yes yes!

What IS D/s except for "do it if you love me?"

Nothing I say. Nothing!

Oh my God, you never had the Portnoy's Complaint experience, and no I don't mean the jacking off with liver, I mean the mother with the knife.

I don't know if you're in the middle of the bell curve, even if you don't have tinsel on your plants in December. Force feeding, combined with beratement about your body fat. Awesome.

 

[DeservingBitch]

I feel vaguely violated.

Really?

I guess I should probably keep the details regarding the midget, the strap-on and the rope for myself then.

 

[00Syd]

Yes yes yes yes yes!

Wow, that is an absolutely perfect way to sum it up. I would like to shake your hand.

No! I know. I never had this. I'm very California hippy dippy Jewey. My parents were not into traditionally Jewish food at all, and we ate really healthy. I completely grew up eating Alice Waters-esque menus all the time. My mother did give me some grief about body fat, but not too much.

It's true I have a certain romantic notion of east coast Jewish family life, because we didn't have that. We didn't have the community, or that sort of family atmosphere. And so I tend to romanticize it, and ignore the negative stuff.

I mean, I have absolutely no sense of that self-hating Jewish female stuff. Then again, I'm blond and look Irish. But no one around me was like Fran Drescher, so no one knew to hate her either. Jewish women were, if anything, seen as sort of exotic and sexy.

Thats crazy. I have some CA relatives and so while they were more on the hippy dippy side, they still got the "your so SKINNY! Eat some more tofu darling."

And what is this about being told your big? No, it was always "your so skinny! eat, eat!" I was always incredibly thin as a kid and so when I blew up like a balloon upon hitting puberty it took me a little while to realize it mostly because I was still being told how skinny I was. I still have to remind myself that I can't just eat and eat and eat whatever I want now.

We aren't the most religious family, but Jewish culture? Oy vey, have we got enough culture.

I don't mind if you think Jewish women are exotic and sexy! Hell, thats great! Haha, tell your friends.

Teutonic EBM and Pocky. That's about the extent of it.

I'm going to be mentally walking funny for a week. At least there was rope involved. That's some small consolation...
