"Definately the case in de Sade's fiction Pure."
Nevertheless, infibulations are a type of female genital mutilation used in the real world outside of BDSM contexts and it is symbolic of a fear and hatred of female sexuality. You can't borrow the practice and lose the symbolism.
I disagree...
If you accept that then how do you explain the acceptance of the BDSM comunity to be called "PERVERTS".
It used to be a derogetory term, but we claimed it as our own. I don't think infibulation in THIS context is about mutilation.
Incidentally Trinique_Fire, what you describe is a form of infibulation that is often employed between consenting BDSM couples. It is a gesture of love and respect between partner and yes, there is an element of "Staking a Claim" or "Marking Property". Many people find that extremely erotic.
