I am in a D/s relationship (Part of BDSM)

Neither me or my Gf enjoy the pain side of things, so we don't go into that side of it.

Just to dispel the common misconceptions about the relationships for people who don't understand them: (I'm aware most here are probably fine with it and don't think it wrong, but I always hope that anyone who does, who reads my post will understand it better.)

1. Being part of BDSM is not a mental problem, it is a lifestyle choice that people enjoy and does NOT mean there is anything wrong with them.

2. A very important point is everything done in BDSM should be safe and consensual. Anyone involved must be aware and agree to what they want to happen and must be safe about how they go about it.

3. It is not only about pain, the letters stand for (Bondage and Discipline) (Domination and Submission) (Sadism) and (Masochism), while some may enjoy pain, this is only part of BDSM and is not done by all, from most I know, those that do enjoy pleasure through pain is actually the minority of the group.

And as others have said, it's not immediately apparent, but the sub really has all the power, they choose who to give up control too, and can choose to take it back.
You forgot one thing in your second point. SSC. Safe, Sane, and Consensual....

Not for me, personally.

I don't really care about what goes on in other peoples bedrooms and I don't tend to ask, because it's really none of my business.

If it make you and your spouse happy, then go for it. Forget what others think. As long as you are both agreeable to it.

Personally, I find the distaste for BDSM a bit humorous. Why? Finish this sentence. A man who does everything his wife wants without complaint is pussy ______. What word did you use?

Certain aspects of it are and some aren't. For instance I rather like knives, I would quite like to own some, but have never had the cash. So for those it's a 50/50 split. As for other things like chains, that's bedroom stuff only.
Erm... far from all knives are particularly expensive. You could even get your hands on some used by certain armed forces for a pretty low price.

It's mostly decorative and custom knives where prices tend to run away into the realms of ridiculousness.

They do make for spectacular sextoys in a BDSM-setting. However a submissive partner letting you pull out a knife in the middle of it all and use it as an instrument of control (instead of tying your partner up in chains) has to REALLY trust you and that trust has to go both ways. Otherwise it's bound to result in an accident.

But done right with the right partner, I find it intensly erotic. It provides that arousing element of danger to it all that I like.

Guns I quite like because as a child I was in the army cadets, I got to do a bit of range shooting at about 12/13. It was pretty cool. But being in a pseudo military environment meant everything was strict and by the book. Hence why I'm more reserved and more inclined to rage at people who disobey even simple safety precautions.
If you ask me, I think stuff like that should be mandatory in schools. You know, to teach children how to properly and safely handle a firearm and perhaps put an end to the mindless paranoia concerning firearms spreading through the world.

Sadly I live in a part of the world where that paranoia is pretty extreme, so it's very hard for a private person to get any kind of permit to own a firearm. You can only get a permit for hunting or competetive marksmanship, and in BOTH instances it usually takes years becuse the government basically treat you with an absurd amount of suspicion for suggesting that you'd like to own a firearm. And it's all based on paranoia and prejudice, and it hasn't really made society any safer.

And here I am bitching about that 10 day waiting period, which is stupid. I already own 2 handguns and a rifle, if I wanted to shoot someone I'd use one of the guns I already have!
Yeah, a 10 day waiting period is nothing compared to the shit going on here.

That said, im not against background-checks and seeing if an applicant for the permit has a criminal record or not. And if it takes 10 days then I'd suspect it's a matter of red tape more than anything else (bureauocracy moves slowly as we all know).

Also, even if you already own 2 handguns and a rifle doesn't really matter. I mean even if YOU aren't going to shoot someone, they can't really know if you're buying weapons legally and then sell them through less than legal means to someone with far more law-breaking intentions with that gun.

So im in agreement in keeping a record of how owns firearms as well as doing background checks and such. It's reasonable.

What isn't reasonable however is basically being treated like a criminal just because you happen to want to own a gun (like they do over here). And what's worse is that gun-enthusiast and people who'd like to see a bit more liberal legislations concerning firearms are in an EXTREME minority. The rest of the population are just as scared and paranoid and many would even prefer EVEN MORE strict laws or even that it should be impossible for a private person to own any kind of firearm for ANY purpose.

Somedays it makes me want to STAB those people to death. If only to show them that a lunatic doesn't need a gun to kill someone if they really want that person dead. But that wouldn't be the most civil way to prove a point. :p

D/s is a pretty romantic concept when you think about it. The amazing amount trust you'd place in the person, that they're so right for you that you'd do that.
Precisely!

And here the people with prejudice all go all frightened and sometimes call me a "psycho" or "wannabe rapist" and other inaccurate accusations.

The truth of the matter is that im just a helpless romantic. Although it still cracks me up to actually think of myself in terms of a romantic. XD

Yeah, i am very into it.

my fiance and i met on a BDSM social networking site called "fetlife". I have been to a BDSM club where i have watched her get flogged till she passed out, and in our home it is not uncommon for 1 or both of us to have marks or bruises of one kind or another some place on our bodies.

we are both switches. But i tend to be the top most of the time.

ironically, we are not that much into bondage. that has always struck me as odd.

I know a few people who are into it, the light stuff I can kind of understand though I don?t practically want to try it. To be honest the hardcore BDSM stuff is kind of creepy to me but there are weirder things out there and I don?t have really a problem with it. There are plenty of things I don?t understand the appeal of and I certainly don't think liking BDSM means you want to rape someone.

You're talking to someone who damn near can't turn on a heater without going into the red. >.>

I generally tend to be rather upfront with it, but it's only something I'd do if I would trust them to do the same to me. (not that I would let them, that's not really my thing)

It would help if gun safety was taught in schools. I mean they already teach about drugs and sex. Why not guns too? But there's also the possibility that said knowledge would be used to further crime... So it's a bit of a double edged sword.

And I can't really comment on gun control, I don't know much about the regulations behind it. Never done any shooting outside of the institution so I've never had to look into it.

Well I'll tell you this much: a steady hand is quite useful. XD

Trust me, it's primarily the IGNORANCE of guns, how they work and how tu use them safely that furthers crime, and not knowledge.

If we take statistics of gun-violence in the U.S for example (im not form there myself, but it's a useful example since the U.S consist of very different regions and levels of urbanisation). The primary violent offenders who've used guns in crime are usually people whose primary source of knowledge of guns comes from hollywood action flicks and gang-culture (i.e inner-city or suburban thugs who most likely never set foot on a firing range in their lives and always acquire their firearms through illegal means).

As opposed to people who grew up in more "rural" areas where they're taught to use guns pretty much at the same time they learn to walk and talk, and who tend to be in an extreme minority when it comes to violent crime involving firearms.

My guess is that it has a lot to do with the fact that if you've know all the way back since you were a child EXACTLY what kind of damage a gun can do to a target of flesh and blood, you're not likely to suffer from any romanticized "hollywood action flick delusions" about it and be more hesitant to pull the trigger when you point a gun at another person, unless you REALLY have to (in cases of self-defense perhaps).

Anyway, it's an interesting subject but not the topic so further discussion should concern BDSM. Consider this the end of the line of that sidetrack.

I personally find the idea of harming my significant other abhorrent.

Myself, I think it's pretty messed up.

But two adults can do whatever they want, As long as they agree, I don't really care.
I agree with these. I don't like the idea, I don't really get why that would be appealing, I especially don't think it can really be healthy, and I would be concerned that such a thing could drift into other parts of the relationship.
That last part is my biggest concern, so as long as someone is not being actually abusive I guess he/she can do whatever. I prefer a bit more of a loving relationship in and out of the bedroom.

My opinion is about the same for "open relationships".
Does not compute. My wife asked and I complied to be her master. She cried once when I was reading threads and saying that I'd never do that kind of stuff to her. I was saying what I thought the answer was without ever actually Asking her. See the problem? My wife is happy and I am making her happy by being her dominant.

How is that not love? Doing for the one you care about. Love is just that, putting somebody before yourself. Your mistake is thinking that there is only a few ways to do it and still be "loving..."

As long as it's between consenting adults, I don't care what goes on in someone's bedroom. Personally I'm not interested in BDSM or many of the other "deviant" sexual lifestyles, but I guess I can undersand why some people are, and it's certainly not my right to say otherwise.

Also, I gotta ask: what's with the double spacing?
I gotta ask: What exactly are the 'other deviant lifestyles', and why do you think you're qualified to judge someone else sexual choices? What, precisely, makes something a deviant lifestyle choice?

I'm just curious, since you also state that you don't feel right telling people not to engage in BD/SM, but you obviously feel justified in judging whether those choices are morally or ethically correct.

OT: I'm the bottom in a M/F relationship, and a mild masochist; my girlfriend happens to be substantially kinkier, far more aggressive and demonstrably more dominant that 99% of the male tops I've met. As several people have pointed out, we both have to trust each other implicitly and communicate much more deeply than many 'mainstream' partnerships do; my g/f can read my body language to know how hard to push in a given instance.

All in all, I have found my current relationship to be substantially healthier than any of my previous ones, and this one has know lasted almost 50% longer than my next longest had.

My understanding that it's a dangerous game, but still a game.

And dangerous only if you don't know what you're doing, bungee-jumping is dangerous only if you don't know what you're doing.
