It can be very enjoyable. But hard to find someone who hasn't just read 50 shades and thinks they are a sub or a dom. |

Definitely. I’m sure most people dip into it without realising it.
Blindfolds, spanking, kinks, fetishes, etc. It’s about exploring and finding out what you like. |

We are a D/s couple and love the BDSM aspect of our relationship. Play for us can be sensual and lead to amazing sex or a great stress relief for the Boss after a hard day.
We love playing at clubs some swingers love watching us but it’s also fun scaring the crap out of others

Been into BDSM as a Dom for 40 years. My late wife was my sub for 17 years. It was a full on 24/7 TPE relationship. Currently occasionally play with a fem sub from another site. It's wonderful!!!

It features as part of my sexuality yes, and is a subject I find absolutely fascinating from no end of perspectives, not only in practice but theory too - always enjoy good interesting discussion on the subject as well, especially if it helps educate those that have maybe read *those* books or seen the porn version of BDSM and think that's what it is about, which couldn't be further from the truth. |

I totally dislike judgemental people. What gives them the right to be negative it's your sexually you own. If they haven't got anything nice to say why do they message! |

"I love allsorts but it's not something i would do NSA."
That's a very good point - for me to give my submission there has to be something more than just the connection and chemistry I look for in a swinging sense, not sure it's "strings attached" as such but it's definitely more than just NSA - for starters I have to "feel" submissive to the person concerned and that feeling comes from deep within and is a sense of mind as much as anything.
It's very rare I've truly felt that with someone as well.
That said I can indulge in kink play in an NSA way without there necessarily being a D/s angle. |

Totally doesn't have to have strings attached at all but unless i've communicated with the person a lot i have no idea what they're really into and whether we are compatible.
Some stuff i can do NSA like foot stuff and collar/leads, 3sums, some mild things. But mostly i can't. |

To be fair it's been happening a lot longer than *those* books - yes they bought BDSM more mainstream but "wannabe kinksters" have been around a lot longer than that - certainly since the dawn of the internet and ready accessibility to BDSM porn (which tends to reflect the "whips and chains" angle to the max) if not longer than that |

You have a point...just don't go mentioning "furry bloody handcuffs". But on a more serious note, there are many people who think that being abusive IS BDSM...and that's a HUGE danger. |

Absolutely it is, which is why my advice to anyone asking about BDSM is always to be aware of what they think it means to them both in terms of domination and submission, to read as much as they can on the subject, and then read some more, and be aware of the dangers including those that see it as a means to their own end not a mutually rewarding thing. |

BDSM has/is a much deeper connection both mentally and physically.
Swinging was once an enjoyment & "thrill seeking" that was until I ventured into BDSM which is mind-blowing and much much more satisfying and takes you to hights of the unknown in every way.

No. Blindfolds, spanking and stuff really ain't my thing, but I get accused of it sometimes - can't think why lol
Only thing I really like are gags but only with tape, I think it's because I have a kink for mouths in general. I'm also turned on by chains but that's about as far as it goes. |

For us there is a big crossover. Had my very sub wife perform a live bareback sex show with a bbc friend a while back. She had her bare ass paddled, she was put in a blindfold and her hands were bound. The audience were invited close enough to touch and finger her.
At one point to allow the exhuasted guys to catch a breath we left her tied naked to a cross still wearing her blindfold and let anyone interested grope her.
It seemed to be a wildly appreciated performance in a swingers club but probably more bdsm tham conventional swinging. |

That's pretty typical of the BDSM community though, Domme women looking for male subs are the unicorns of the BDSM world, whereas, like single males on Fab, males who call themselves Doms are ten a penny.
There *are* Dommes out there, but like single women on here, can afford to be very picky.
What doesn't help of course is the misconceptions of many, on both sides of the coin, about what BDSM actually means to them, and the lack of understanding of how the dynamic should work. Both domination and submission are so much more than telling someone/being told what to do and dishing out/receiving "punishments" - so any decent Domme will look for subs who have thought about and truly understand their submission, rather than someone who has seen a bit of BDSM porn and thinks it's for them. |

I think I have been fairly consistent in my view of BDSM, but have recently left the scene (although I still do rope) and fet life whilst I reappraised my thoughts on the scene.
I am coming to the view (that contrary to the position I used to hold and that previous position is put forward by some on here): a) the scene consists of far more sexual play than people like to admit (as mentioned in some of the posts) and b) far more humiliation and pain is enjoyed and or endured by subs than is admitted (I will come back to this).
I would suggest a) and b) occurs firstly to the large amount of pick up play that occurs.
Secondly because the scene was derived from pick up play, but also from the works of the Marquis De Sade through to the Story of O, the old American "House of Milan" films, the bondage books and magazines available prior to the internet (which people forget about); through to the earliest forms of rope play, the role of the sub was to ...submit and or suffer.
I would suggest that it is only over the last 20 to 30 years with women as subs taking more of a control of their destinies and bodies that people have been reinterpreting BDSM to be a caring sharing relationship. I think people discribe it a caring sharing relationship as it is their genuine view but it has also become a bad political correctness. Good political corrctness is about treating groups how they would like to be treated taking into account that some people may want to be treated differently from the mass and this group with an alternative view are not mad or bad. An example would be the arguments amongst feminists versus bdsm feminists.
So to round up,I am reaching the position where I think that:a) the people who criticise 50SOGA are actually the purist minority; b)for the majority of subs and doms, sex and pain is an intrinsic part of BDSM (which can lead to subs dropping out of the scene).
Three years ago there was a similar "caring sharing" comments in a BDSM thread and a female sub contributor stated BDSM is not about pain sex and humiliation. I had to point it to her two weeks earlier I had double dommed her in a club, where she was naked in public, chained and we had applied various impact items to her and then we went off and had sex.
So although I believe in "caring sharing" relations I am tending to to the words of Robbie Burns
"O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us." |

An interesting and thought provoking post as ever _ensual - as I often say I don't personally think there is any "right" way to BDSM other than the way agreed between two (or more) *informed and consenting* people who enter into a D/s relationship, be it a fleeting one in a club, or something more permanent - for some that might mean pain, humiliation and a whole lot more, for some that might mean purely sex controlled by the dominant partner, and yes for some it may be inspired by 50SOG and there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those scenarios, or the myriad others that are unique to each individual relationship, with the following provisos - that they are agreed by all concerned, and are done from a position of informed consent by all concerned, and are considered safe, sane and legal.
If none of those things exist, then the potential for abuse and trauma is high.
Yes there are elements that are key to all, and those include duty of care/after care, which should be promoted but the specifics of each D/s relationship are unique to the individuals concerned. |

Always had a kink for restraints and blindfolds. Explored with a very experienced guy a few years ago and had lots of new experiences. As others have said the trick is finding someone who is skilled. |

Each to their own. I’m lucky to enjoy slow soft sensual play as much as kinky dom/sub games. For me it’s all about finding the right connection with the right partner. Then the sparks can fly in all sorts of different scenarios |

"Absolutely, although it's not proving very popular on here for me, I've had some really negative messages
I totally dislike judgemental people. What gives them the right to be negative it's your sexually you own. If they haven't got anything nice to say why do they message!"
Unfortunately that's the way a lot of sites are, if you don't follow the herd then you're fair game. People are scared of stuff they know nothing about. |

"I think I have been fairly consistent in my view of BDSM, but have recently left the scene (although I still do rope) and fet life whilst I reappraised my thoughts on the scene.
I am coming to the view (that contrary to the position I used to hold and that previous position is put forward by some on here): a) the scene consists of far more sexual play than people like to admit (as mentioned in some of the posts) and b) far more humiliation and pain is enjoyed and or endured by subs than is admitted (I will come back to this).
I would suggest a) and b) occurs firstly to the large amount of pick up play that occurs.
Secondly because the scene was derived from pick up play, but also from the works of the Marquis De Sade through to the Story of O, the old American "House of Milan" films, the bondage books and magazines available prior to the internet (which people forget about); through to the earliest forms of rope play, the role of the sub was to ...submit and or suffer.
I would suggest that it is only over the last 20 to 30 years with women as subs taking more of a control of their destinies and bodies that people have been reinterpreting BDSM to be a caring sharing relationship. I think people discribe it a caring sharing relationship as it is their genuine view but it has also become a bad political correctness. Good political corrctness is about treating groups how they would like to be treated taking into account that some people may want to be treated differently from the mass and this group with an alternative view are not mad or bad. An example would be the arguments amongst feminists versus bdsm feminists.
So to round up,I am reaching the position where I think that:a) the people who criticise 50SOGA are actually the purist minority; b)for the majority of subs and doms, sex and pain is an intrinsic part of BDSM (which can lead to subs dropping out of the scene).
Three years ago there was a similar "caring sharing" comments in a BDSM thread and a female sub contributor stated BDSM is not about pain sex and humiliation. I had to point it to her two weeks earlier I had double dommed her in a club, where she was naked in public, chained and we had applied various impact items to her and then we went off and had sex.
So although I believe in "caring sharing" relations I am tending to to the words of Robbie Burns
"O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us."

Thank you for your usual insightful and reasoned response.
I suppose as a person who was purist and seperated sex from kink, and generally assumed most male doms were reasonable. I have been stunned to hear of the amount of what I would consider to be non consensual abuse in the scene,or sheer lack of empathy. [As a seperate issue and as mentioned previously in this thread male subs also have a very difficult time.]
So I agree with you that:a) consent which is understood in an empathic way by the dom is required; and b) people do their BDSM differently.
I think dim doms are not the problem as sensible subs will say 'thanks but no thanks" when contacted.
I think intelligent charasmatic/personable alphas i.e the stereotype dom or the trendy word is "narcissists"may be a bigger issue.

It does, but that's lack of understanding, or being open to understanding, or at the very least accepting that others have different interests, for you - BDSM is a much misunderstood subject by many who don't "get" it and are closed minded to it, same as any other brand of sexuality really.
They either see it as abuse, or hear of one bad case that was abusive and tar the whole community with the same brush - not a great deal you can do about it if people aren't open minded enough to listen and learn from those that do understand the dynamic - so not a great deal of point in trying - it'll only go round in circles and go nowhere fast |

I'm a big fan of it, but not the pain part. I am naturally sub by nature (in the bedroom) and love surrendering control to a partner.
That said it takes trust and has to be with someone who understands it and doesn't just think it's what they've seen in films (or porn videos).
I've been fortunate enough to be "trained" by a couple of dommes on different occasions and both were very different, in fact that only similarity really was the psychological aspect, but since i believe that the sexiest part of a person is the brain it's not a huge surprise as to why it's my kink |

I actually think where problems occur, they exist on both sides of the spectrum, there *are* plenty of dim doms, who see BDSM porn, or read one of *those* books, or simply hear about BDSM in the media etc, and mistakenly think it's a case of picking up a crop and telling a submissive what to do, or worse - that's one element that leads to abuse.
Then on the flip side you have people that *think* they are submissive from having heard about it in similar ways and who take steps to explore without really understanding the dynamic - and that is just as dangerous as a Dom/me who doesn't understand it - sadly the two then end up together, or worse still the unknowledgable submissive gets preyed on by an experienced yet abusive dominant who fills their head with falsehoods and phrases like "If you're a true sub you would do this".
That of course not the way it is for the majority in the community who are an extremely knowledgeable and caring group of people - but just as with swinging a few bad apples can give the whole barrel a bad name in some quarters.
It again comes back to what I was saying earlier about the importance of people making sure they are informed, and understand exactly what both domination and submission mean to them, so they are able to give their consent from a position of knowledge and understanding. |

A lot of people think being sub is about being powerless but a sub is incredibly powerful, by releasing control and offering adoration to their domme they're filling the desire for that person.
The dynamic is something so many people forget, and there's nothing nicer in BDSM for me than simply laying on a Dommes lap with her stroking my head as i've pleased her so much. |

Yep it's often thought a D/s relationship is inequal and whilst in some of the worst case scenarios it can be, it's usually a lot more finely balanced than that with neither dominant nor submissive holding *all* the power - one very much complements the other and they both hold the power equally. |

I think all the judgemental people calling others Dim Doms and looking down their noses really put people off giving it a try.
We were really encouraged by vastly more experienced people in the scene when we attended Manchester Munches for the first time years ago. People we still consider as great friends. This site is not primarily for BDSM lovers so there is always going to be people who do not understand it or don’t want to know.
It’s such a shame that IC website closed down as it was full of friendly kinksters of all shapes and sizes and degrees of experience encouraging those who wanted help with plenty of advice. Fet website is no where near as good as a community resource but it has loads of locals, lots of groups and information about things going on locally, such as rope workshops, Munches and club nights.
I’d encourage anyone interested to visit a munch and take it as it comes. Take no notice of the tossers telling you that you are doing it all wrong because to dare to admit you actually liked 50 Shades. |

I don't think anyone has been judgemental or looked down their nose at anyone who has a genuine interest in BDSM and wants to learn about it, or take it seriously - sadly though there *are* those who say they're Doms who do have totally the wrong idea about BDSM and aren't open to learning about it from others, and who *do* end up abusing others and I'm sure you'll agree people like that are cause for concern, and it's people like that who are referred to as 'dim doms', not only here but in the BDSM community as a whole.
Whilst I agree that Fab is not a BDSM site and the majority of people aren't into that side of things, nor do they understand or want to understand it, when people make disparaging remarks about it from a position of not understanding it, then It's only natural that people will defend the lifestyle or try to educate, but again if people refuse to listen and continue to be opinionated, as I said further up, there's not a lot you can do.
Couldn't agree more about munches though and is always something I suggest when people ask for advice about the lifestyle - likewise IC - remember it from 20 years ago when it was a great resource, shame it's no more. |

I was very much of the same opinion in regard to the phrase 'dim dom". But it was on a thread like this that a number of women explained that they use the phrase in regard to the complete strangers who send them messages saying such things as "I am a dom you will obey me", " I am master X and you will do sexual services for me". As mind boggling as it is women identifying as subs get these messages. |

Yes I can certainly see the term Dim Dom being used in that context or just Knobhead would be more appropriate. |

Dim doms is handy shorthand for those who don't understand consent, or who think it's reasonable to open convos with crap like 'On your knees bitch...'
The debate about 50 Shades is hardly a debate at all - Grey is an abuser and a stalker created by an author who was happy to write him as such. That may be other people's cup of tea, but not mine.

Fet website is no where near as good as a community resource but it has loads of locals, lots of groups and information about things going on locally, such as rope workshops, Munches and club nights.
I’d encourage anyone interested to visit a munch and take it as it comes. Take no notice of the tossers telling you that you are doing it all wrong because to dare to admit you actually liked 50 Shades. How do you stay safe if you don't make judgements?
Dim doms is handy shorthand for those who don't understand consent, or who think it's reasonable to open convos with crap like 'On your knees bitch...'
The debate about 50 Shades is hardly a debate at all - Grey is an abuser and a stalker created by an author who was happy to write him as such. That may be other people's cup of tea, but not mine.

Criticising 50SOG is like criticising Harry Potter for not being an accurate portrayal of wizardry, or Andy McNabb for not being accurate about the SAS.
The people I know who have read all three books differ from the view put forward by some in the community. But why listen to those who have read all three the books if goes against common opinion. |

I've read all three books. What, exactly, is your point? I am not in any community; I just know that these books portray an abusive stalker, and, as is often the case, suggest that the desire to be a sadist, stalker and abuser are indivisible and somehow related to childhood trauma. Forgive me, but, as an experienced sadist who's also a survivor of CSA, I think that's tacky, shallow, cheap and evidence mainly that E l James hasn't got a fucking clue.

Of course people are entitled to have their own view of novels.However, it is hard to equate what happens in FSOG with informed consent, and if you think you can, you shouldn't be surprised if you get called out on it.

I think the fact that you are getting personal, really shows more about you. If you read any of my posts my position on consent is clear.
By the arrogance and aggression shown in your last posts, I am sure you will be called out before me
However this is hijacking a thread and there seems no point in continuing this feud you want to have me as I am sure we can spend the a whole lot of time insulting each other.
Therefore we can be adults and enter into a civil debate or leave this disagreement as it lies and move on whilst having a low opinion of other. In my view the latter is the more civilised behaviour. |

I love it. I enjoy 'vanilla' sex too, but from a dating standpoint I would want some kind of power exchange dynamic or I wouldn't really be interested.

Korbyzki, quotes in one of his books, there is a map of a wood, two lovers walk in. Would it be different if a lumberjack walked in, or a bird watcher.
It is the same map... different perspective.
To me, and this is just me, this is where the site goes wrong.

Where did I say it was a game?
"Power exchange" is a common term for dom/sub relationships. |

You need to get a grip ffs lol
It’s whatever individual people want it to be. Just because it doesn’t conform to your understanding doesn’t mean it isn’t right for them.

I’ve not read 50 shades or seen the films. I have read the Story of O.
On here it’s difficult to find a Dom/Domme although I did sub to a Dom for over a year on a regular basis and used to do demos in a dungeon with a Domme for a while.
I’d love to find another Dom but I’m a bratty sub so I’m rather fussy. I’m sure one will turn up eventually.

I agree it's what works for the individuals involved it's the bones of what a dom and sub are about finding what really works for both and exploring it together

Yes, it's fantastic when you can get into bdsm and the more kinkier, filthier type of activities with people on the same wavelength as you or explore things you haven't done before with more experienced people who have and vice versa.
For me it's not something I need or want to do in every encounter by any means but with the right people it can be amazing. |

I love kinky playtimes, sensory deprivation pushing boundaries, role reversal, bondage and medical all all the different types of play you can have, the planning and execution of the session, it’s just amazing fun, doing things you felt you would never do and enjoying them, I’ve had so much pleasure and all have been positive, always with real partners for real connection |

Yes absolutely...and that's the first hurdle |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
With the right person there is a very deep connection and trust is absolute. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
When trust is secured and control is passed willingly to a man with the imagination to use that control to the full, it is very intense and erotic |
