Pure said:Miss T,
Heck, I just updated mine [bdsm "menu"]last night and what? There were things on there that I had previously said I would never do that I now enjoy very much.
Sweetie, consider that there's a standing offer from me, herewith, to experientially provide you with 'update' material at any time.

Pure said:Lark S:
I think the problem with trying to qualify and quantify what D/s is in theory (for all) is that it disregards the "magic", humanity and individuality that separates it from such things as rape, psychosis, brutal force and the ever popular abuse.
Or, as another sage put it:
Friendship is like pissing in your pants:
Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its true warmth.
True that. I guess there are different types of dependence. Two basics come to mind:ownedsubgal said:lark, that is the wildest thing, because i'm not the least lil bit independent! lol. i have always been an extremely dependent person. but i think that often people correlate dependency with mindlessness or lack of independent thought.
MissTaken said:Some can submit without love in any mix of the alphabet soup. Trust may beget love, one doesn't need to love or be in love to trust.
Affection, respect and trust can happen and be the foundation for a "platonic" D/s relationship.
I, personally, have known a greater degree of submission to a friend/mentor than to a lover.
Does this make sense?
Pure said:to tjj,
//If the Dom/me likes bloodplay and the submissive has a severe reaction to it, ie throws up or passes out at the sight of blood, why would the submissive get involved with someone who doesn't take into account the reaction.//
Fair enough, but, at the other end of the spectrum, if the sub likes--comes to-- light caning of the front of the thighs and thin lashes applied to the shaven genitals, and the alleged dom/me, too finds this the height of erotism, and having agreed on that and they get together and do it, is anyone dominating the other? Has anyone 'surrendered' or 'given-up or transferred power' to the other'? **
My answer is 'no' and 'no'; they're simply enacting a common kink, not unlike the two pigging out on much-beloved pistachio ice cream.
** the same argument applies to a sub's 'like-list' from which an item is chosen, say, by the play director.
Pure said:Question for Lark S.
Look at the list excerpts above, on type of corporal punishment, location of blows, type of gag, type of clothing, type of role play ---- and, if you care to, looking at the other 180 items listed at the site--- would you say that a detailed discussion of these items, might possibly work against the 'magic' you spoke of:

just curious, honeybun...
PS: do you have any of that there shear trance parent stuff their talking 'bout?
Pure said:Hi LS,
From the master list excerpts
//Clothing Material - Sheer
Clothing made out of, or involving, sheer (**transparent**or translucent) material. //
Nothing complicated, just trying to fuel a fantasy, your image, sugarpie.
