Have you noticed BDSM in the mainstream?

[myinnerslut]

i have been listening to the say anything cd and it is riddled with bdsm references, for example this song reminds me of a sub in trouble asking for forgivness:


I want to know your plans
And how involved in them I am
When I go to sleep for good
Will I be forgiven?
And if you want roses, you can go buy a bouquet.
If that just won't cut it, well what can I say?

You’re what keeps me believing this world’s not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.
'Cause that’s what you do.
That's what you do.

I want to know your fears
From your feet to the back of your ears
When they raise the landing gear
Will your heart stay here?

If you could forgive me, for being so brash.
You, you could hit me or whip me.
Oh, I'd savor each lash.

You’re what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.
'Cause that’s what you do.

No more fighting
This is only a waste of our time
Oh, 'Cause soon we'll be leaving
Will this strength still be mine?

I'll look out for you 'til I die, 'til I rot.
Oh, I'll remember you 'til I die, 'til I rot.

You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead,
Strength in my bones put the words in my head.
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.

You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead,
Strength in my bones put the words in my head.
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.
'Cause that's what you do.

Have we put down the Natalie Imbruglia song "Torn" yet?

In one verse it goes:
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor

Another verse says:
I'm cold and I am shamed
Bound and broken on the floor

 

[twysted73]

only one I can think of is .. "I.. want to be your lover... I.. wanna wrap you in rubber"

Or how about "Pink on the lips of your lover, ´cause Pink is the love you discover" ,
"And I think everything is going to be all right No matter what we do tonight" , "Pink it´s the color of passion `Cause today it just goes with the fashio" (much like D/s these days) and lastly..the video. the video has my lasr reference. So go jump on Youtube.

 

[unfoundiamond]

a lot of music reffrences...

I wonder why there are so many reffrences in music? (maybe its easyer to slip in music, without being noticed)

And also noticed a lot of people who are into BDSM are into other arts...

Interesting...

but why is pink on the lips of your lover and pink is the love you discover about BDSM?

/shrug

you're entitled to your opinion and I'm not staying you're wrong.. I just dont see it in those lines

 

[Etoile]

Definitely not an arty person here. Not sure I get the lyrics in the Pink song either.

mabye its becuase music often requires interpretation. we are lookin for a specific meaning, so mabye we are more likely to find it then the average person.

just a thought.

*nod*

I draw, paint, sculpt (sort of), used to play the trumpet, write, and do various sorts of crafty work when the mood hits me.

I just finished the book "Double Cross" by James Patterson. I couldnt have been more surprised to see in the middle of the murder mystery, my dear friend Alex Cross, getting tied down to the bed by his wrists, completely submitting to his girlfriend... it was great

 

[NALA CAYENNE]

oh cool! I definitely have to read this one now

I love that song, and it always make me think of kinky things.

 

[Cheshire D]

I was listening to the sountrack for Phantom of The Opera the other day--talk about kinky. (The first half, anyways. Before the Phantom gets a little bit obsessive.)

Hell, Christine even calls him "Master" a few times. (Yes, yes, I realize it's in the 'completely respectful teacher kind of Master' but....really...)

Wow! I'm going to have to finish the series now.

i saw the show on broadway with A, and it is riddled with BDSM references. A rested his had on my knee throughout the show and during each reference he would squeeze my leg.

 

[graceanne]

Marquis had an entire thread on the phantom of the opera, I think, but yeah. The phantom is one kinky dude. K and I saw the play for our wedding present to each other, and the movie did a pretty good job of keeping to the show.

 

[smotherman]

Don't forget Angelina Jolie - before she married Brad Pitt. She had a girlfriend and was very open about her BDSM life.

I also read Angelina Jolie has experimented with BDSM her self. In a candid interview she explained how she likes to inflict pain on men(Which is a good thing lol)

I think BDSM has come a long way in mainstream.

 

[twysted73]

Not sure if this qualifies as "mainstream"....

But damnit it makes for a funny story. (grab some popcorn and a seat)

So it happened JUST lastnight.

I had JUST gotten off of work and I was driving over a bridge when an officer of the law tagged me, hidden away on the opposite side of this "humped" bridge. I saw the red light on his gun, I shot a quick look at my speedometer and knew I was "it" so I dropped my speed and looked for a place to pull over.

Sure enough, seconds later he comes up behind my now parked car, lights a-goin'. I have my license and reg. in-hand, wrists resting on my wheel...waiting.
Now, I'm one of those people who have very poor driving habits but insane Irish luck when it comes to not being caught or ticketed.
In my close to 20 years of driving I've been ticketed once for speeding. (and that didn't happen until I was 29)
He approaches my car and says, "Good evening sir. I pulled you over for going 60 in a 45."
Me: "I know officer. I'm usually more responsible (craftier?) a driver then this normally, but I suppose I was keeping pace with the car in the other lane and I wasn't watching my speed."
"Where are you coming from?" he asks.
"I'm on my way home from work."

** he flashes his flashlight into my backseat and pauses. **

"I'll be back in a moment. Stay in your car please."

5 minutes passes and by this point I start to tally how much this is going to cost me. Automatic $50 for the stop, then a dollar (or is it 5?) for every mile over.

So he returns and says, "Well, I have to ask you if you've been into anything lately because it's not usual that I stop someone and the only thing I can find on their record is a warning issued in Jan. 2006 for an expired tag. I'd hate to ruin your good record so I'm only going to give you a warning this time. (score!)
*** flashlight goes back into my back seat again **
"Where did you say you were coming from again?"
"Work. I work at (lists name of resturaunt and shows chef's jacket under fleece)".
And his flashlight is still on the back seat. So I turn around to look.

There on the floor and seat directly behind my spot is a new dog leash, a small pillow I keep there for whatever reason, a dog collar, a new dog brush I had intended to use on "someone's" bottom and that very same someone's nylon stockings from that very evening. My mouth drops as I realize he's wondering if I'm on my way back from some BDSM club he hasn't heard about in his area.
So I explain..."No! That's from New Year's Eve officer." So he laughed and left.
I, on the otherhand, laughed for a good two miles further down the road for a combination of reasons.

( ok, I thought it was funny )

What a great story!

 

[rakess]

Justin Timberlake!

Has anyone listened to the song sexxy/back?

I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other boys they don't know how to act
I think it's special... what's behind your back
So turn around and and I'll pick up the slack

[Bridge]
Dirty Babe
You see these shackles baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way
(take it to the chorus)

[Chorus]
Come here girl, go head be gone with it
Come to the back, go head be gone with it
VIP, drinks on me
Lemme see what you're twerking with
Look at those hips
Make me smile
Go 'head child and get your sexy on

[ Sexyback lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other fuckers don't know how to act
Girl let me make up for all the things you lack
Because you're burning up I got to get it fast

(Take it to the bridge)

Dirty Babe
You see these shackles baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way

(take it to the chorus)

Come here girl, go head be gone with it
Come to the back, go head be gone with it
VIP, drinks on me
Lemme see what you're twerking with
Look at those hips
Make me smile
Go 'head child and get your sexy on

I'm bringin' sexy back
You mother fuckers watch how I attack
If that's your girl, baby watch your back
Cuz you're burning up for me and that's a fact

I ask readers to see the parts with keywords shackles, whips, misbehaving...

 

[catalina_francisco]

Perhaps this one, especially when accompanied by the video...

She's Lost Control

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

She's Lost Control

Just reading the words it could be interpreted as describing a sub in a frenzy state. How perspectives change over the years...

Now I have to go dust off my cassettes and dig out my Joy Division...maybe I'll just stick with New Order, at least that is on CD.

Yeah, that qualifies as a funny story. I guarantee that you were a topic of discussion for the boys in green(?) at the end of shift roll call. Don't worry though, they have seen more unusual...(Oh the stories I could tell if it weren't for the HIPPA laws...)

 

[Etoile]

I'm watching Da Vinci Code, I never saw it before and never tackled the book. The self-flogging scene early on is pretty intense.

 

[madetotakeit]

From Radar magazine February edition...
The Radar 100 (monthly satire similar to Letterman's top 10 list...)

"100 ways we're trying to go green."

38. Using only Energy Star-compliant vibrators and nipple shocks.

45. When driving, flagellating self at every red light.
