I know I will regret this..................

It stands for Pick Your Label. When it's all in caps it means Top or Dom, when otherwise it means bottom, sub or slave.

Unless of course I got it all wrong.

I am wondering what the PYL stands for

Hello Stegral and Welcome to the Dark Side (insert evil laughter) . PYL is an acronym for 'Pick Your Label' Example of such being Dominant/Domme ,submissive, slave,Top, bottom, switch etc etc etc. Saves on all the jargon of covering bases when one is not wanting to be specific and speaking more generaly. You may also see 'pyl' in lower case ......lets not even go there shall we ? You have the general idea. In Lit BB Folklore I hear this was initiated by Angelic Assassin some while back . Nevermind if I am incorrect some helpful soul will surely post after this to kindly correct me :D :D Good Luck Stegral !!!

*hugs* Hi Rebecca!

I can go on and on and on . . . though. *grins*

Just check out some of my SRP or story writing, it's too long. Hell even when I'm just relating about RL I get long winded. It's funny because I don't talk this long. I just write this long. Strange eh?

Ok... I will step in here as a curious lurker.... I am pretty Vanilla but the SO enjoys BD side of this topic..

...I have recently had to "leave" my circle of BDSM friends due to a severe conflict with 2 new members & with them being more into "scening" than me just being a curious 'vanilla'...
I decided it rather than them, so my experiences in this field are now limited to online only now & the ocassional IM to the few I trust not to blab....
Hi, Stegral. :)

I've been posting at Lit since October, and this is the only contact I've ever had with people who are interested in BDSM.

One of my observations since coming here is that many people draw a distinct line between "vanilla" and "BDSM". An Us vs. Them mentality that is, frankly, difficult for me to understand.

Where does rough sex end, and sadomasochism begin? When does the inherent inequality in any relationship transform itself into dominance & submission?

There are extremes, of course. But my point is that the range of sexual experiences, tastes, and proclivities is a continuum, rather than a series of easily defined categories.

The trick is discovering where you, personally, fall on the continuum - and whether (or how much) your position overlaps with that of your SO.

On a different thread, you wrote:

Stegral said:
I learned today that I am more "vanilla" than I like to admit to.... I thought I could be what my SO needed but I think I have alot to learn...
If you are uncomfortable discussing the details, I completely understand. But I am unclear if you are discouraged because of something your SO said, or because your online explorations are giving you a view of BDSM that, in general, seems too extreme for your taste.

I would encourage you to read and ask a lot of questions on these threads, to gain a better understanding of the options and range of behaviors that you and your SO might enjoy.

And while doing so, remember to think in terms of the continuum - not an either/or.

Reminds me of scenes from "A Clockwork Orange"...a somewhat sadistic (or quaint, perhaps?) tale from about 40? years ago.

Whoaaa thank you Mr DVS .....your comment.......I don't remember this scene........I also have had absolutely no desire to revisit this Movie again......I will however pick up a copy and reacquaint myself after more years than I wish to divulge .......just to see how different my personal reaction might have changed ( I found it compelling yet hugely challenging) and if all else fails at least theres the music........smiles........Thank You again. @}-}rebecca----​

Oh, I"m quite fond of the scene where they break into a couple's house. The lady in the red jumpsuit is tormented...one of his henchmen holds her arms back and legs still, while he pops a ball into her mouth and roughly tapes it there.

Then, he proceeds to cut holes for her tits (obviously, she's not wearing any bra or panties), and then slowly cuts the jumpsuit off, completely. I love her little muffled whimper, as she is stripped naked in front of those strange men. And, the look of horror on her face...and that of her husband, too. Classic looks, for back then.

I'd take the scene further, but I don't think it could have been viewed by mass audiences, then. Oh, the turmoil a director must go through, when making classic erotica. :rolleyes:

That reminds me.

Has anyone else noticed the absence of a certain shark on this Board lately? :confused:

Is it just me, or does anyone else miss all those double entendres and witty but frequently cryptic and occasionally indecipherable posts???

Anxiously Awaiting his return.....

Mr RJMasters and Miss Alice what if we get a few more from the BB and all yell really loudly maybe Angelic will come back :confused:

*chuckles*

I'm sure he'll be back. After all he didn't announce his disgust and reason for leaving us forever. When the blood in the water where he is dissipates I'm sure he'll swim here again.

(Didja ever notice how people with the word Angel in their name are never really that Angelic at all? *raises brows* Boy I have, so many, many times! *L*)

Great minds....


Btw, Mr. Masters, I thought this post of yours on the bionic thread was wonderful:

https://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=15834125&postcount=4163

Hopefully, no one will mind if I extract and re-post my favorite part below, for the benefit of those who do not frequent the bionic thread.

Miss Rebecca - I trust that, in addition to being sweet, delightful, fabulous and demure, you are also tolerant regarding hijacks on your threads. Please say it's so........ Oh! And btw, I adore you, too. :rose:

RJMasters said:
I do not think that it is out of the norm for a submissive to ask, what am I going to get out of this relationship? If they don't ask, no one else will. Do I think they should be up front about what they expect? You bet. Do I think its a good idea to understand they wish to be submisive sexually? You bet. Do I think its a good idea to understand all the different ways they want to show their submission? You bet. I do not think it unreasonable to expect an equal exchange. Should they know if I plan to respect them? You bet. Should they know I plan to care for them. You bet. Should they know if I plan to have love or romance as part of the relationship? You bet.

So I do not see being comforted/cared for/romantic as things a "real" submissive should not expect in the exchange. But I do think they should be upfront about it and what they want. Because if your definition and their definition of being submissive doesn't match, then yes people can get hurt, same goes for a shared definition of dominance. But isn't that what taking the time to explore and get to know each other is all about? I think it is unreasonable to expect anyone to go from zero to submission in 6 secs. I also think it is unreasonable to then throw it back on them and try to say they are not submissive or call them a wanna be just because your definitions of submission doesn't match theirs.

Am I the only person who likes Gord?

I like those photos, or at least that genre of photo.

I agree the vehicular ones are a bit risky if not faked, but I've also seen some really stupid knife play and stuff in my day.

I have a huge fetish for objectification, I'm a gearhead, I like rubber and spandex and I find transformation a really hot erotic touchstone.

Don't ask me to explain it overmuch, I just like it.

Okay now I am aware there is a goal to be trying to be seen to do the the PC thing . Accept/respect each others Kink etc. Though when I see pictures like these above I just have to laugh......Not just a twitter I am talking SPEW ALERT ........new phrase I learnt since visiting the Forum.... Firstly my apologies in advance if its your deepest desire is to be your SO's 'Chevy trailer' on the weekends or from a Dom/Tops point of view your one as 'Sprinkler Girl' brings you all over in goose bumps. I don't know........I also wonder at times if we all aren't a little bit victims of rather clever commercial marketing and or fall pray to our own 'BDSM urban legends' . I am not saying they exist , I genuinely do not know, what I would however is to know what others think about these things.

Kind regards

@}-}rebecca----

Yes some of this post contains humor, yes some of this post is quite serious/sincere . Impossible for me to 'divorce' the two, thats just me sometimes....

Sometimes I'm left utterly speechless at the kind of things that people get into in the name of bdsm.

Unfortunately, not this time.

That is just fucking weird! Did somebody just one day think to themselves "I'm bored with hot, kinky sex" and think that wrapping someone in electrical tape and making them into a trailer for their riding lawnmower was a good idea?

It's pretty bad when I'm the one saying "what the fuck were you thinking". No, it's beyond pretty bad.
 
I thnk they're all just for the basic shock factor. I think maybe someone out there might actually have to do that to get their jollys, but when talking about extreme, pretty much anything goes.

Just like in some of the arty photos we see depicting BDSM. There are some strange things going on in some of those too, but it's all about the art.

Well here, it's all about the shock value. And, I'm with whoever said it...I doubt the truck is going very fast, and the trailer thing is pretty out thre. I know they were just sitting around a table deciding how strange they could get with the next shot.

For what they are, they are interesting, but I don't really find them erotic. If someone else does, that's OK. I do hope there was a disclaimer with the photos..."no models or pickup trucks were harmed in any way, during this shoot."

I'm pretty big on safety myself, but it amuses me how in a lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it, that embraces beating people black and blue, these pictures evoke a particular focus on safety. Why assume the driver will speed over gravel roads or do donuts in the dirt, any more than one would assume someone doing knife/blood play will cut to the bone or sever an artery? It's a good thing to examine worst-case scenarios when you're planning an activity yourself- it's the basis of safety. To critique porn on that basis seems silly.

If we were all standing around in a room together, staring at these photos on the wall, I would agree with you 100%.

However, a glance at the ratio of Views to Replies on any thread indicates that many random lurkers read this Board. Leaving aside all jokes about weeding out the gene pool, my personal opinion is that brief safety tips are responsible - even when discussing porn.
