ORIGINAL: ShaktiSama Sorry, I'm on the "imposing their kink on others" camp. Their relationship doesn't require that she actually wear a leash in "broad daylight" public, even if she is his "doggy/pet" sub.. Even real dogs can easily be trained to heel. And just because your relationship is groovy in private doesn't mean you have the right to inflict it on others at all hours in public. Let's face certain facts right away: cute or not, the whole point of their little Goth master-slave get-up complete with the leash prop is to confront other people with their relationship, in a rather childish and demanding way. This is something that teenagers often think is cute/funny, which is why they also have a tendency to make out and have sex in public. "Oooo, lookie me! I'm bein' SEX-ay! I'm breakin' the roooooooools!" Start a thread on sex in public and you'll find a lot of people past their teenage years are having sex in public. When I was a teen, those who had sex in public did it because they didn't have anywhere private to go. I engage in PDA because it's a display of affection. I tone it down if I think it's bothering someone most of the time but I do it because I want to, not because I think it's going to offend anyone. quote:
Those of us who have raised small children find their antics a little less amusing, and we coined the phrase "GET A ROOM" for their benefit. I find this sort of behavior tacky and vulgar in people of any orientation. By all means, wear your Goth clothes, but please folks--the leash is an "after five" accessory. I'll have a hard enough time explaining the rest of your Vlad the Impaler and Vampira get-up to the kiddlywinks, without you actually whipping and beating each other in public. Save it until prime time, when the kiddies are home doing their homework and observing their parentally imposed bedtimes, k? It's pretty simple: This is how those people like to dress. We don't dress like that because that isn't how we like to dress. They weren't whipping and beating each other in public. They were wearing a leash. quote:
(And yes, I find it every bit as irritating when vanilla or gay people or Martian people aggressively impose their sexuality on me in a public place, but especially during daylight hours. No double standard.). On the other hand, if people were forbidden from riding on the bus just because they were tacky, hardly anyone would ever be allowed to ride, so...*shrug* The bus driver is in the wrong legally, regardless of how I feel about their behavior. It wasn't his place to judge them or refuse them service. I still think non-consensual sexual displays suck though. Wearing a leash is not by itself sexual. I have been known to wear my small leather cuffs in public - it's not sexual in any way. I wear collars in public, doing so does not arouse me in the slightest. Without actually being them, we simply can't say if using that leash was in any way sexual for them.
