Kalista07 -> Confused (1/11/2008 9:10:51 PM)
i'm a little bit confused here about a few things, and why i'm going to bring it up here should just reinforce to some of You exactly how out there i truly am.......At what point exactly is consent given? i mean if a slave (or a sub) is talking to someone online and then goes to their house, does that equal consent? i mean does the fact that they went to the person's house mean that they've then consented for any and all activities to occur? At what point can a slave (or sub) pull back her consent? * i have no idea if i'm making any sense here or not, and should no doubt be trying to sleep*

I think consent is given the moment a the individual picks a safe word with a Dom/me if not sooner For me I met my Dom in person several times before we began playing. And consent was given during that trust building time.

Any other time, consent is never implied and must always be given. When in doubt, ask twice. Taggard

Consent is only consent when you both agree to it. A person can take his or her consent back anytime they want to. In terms of going over to someone's house, the parties involved need to discuss what's within each other's limits and what's not. It's only consent when you're continuously agreeing to it; in your mind you can admit to yourself that, "Yes, I do want this." As soon as that thought becomes anything else, it's not really consent anymore. Just my $.02 dons obligatory +2 Sign of Opinionage and Fire Resistance

You make perfect sense. In the first few contacts on here and then in E-mail we were vanilla. When we talked on the phone. The first time i answered him yes sir, i felt as though i was giving consent right then and there. He still proceeded slowly and asked me several times in the following weeks if i was sure and that i had no doubt. i answered that i was and that i didn't have any doubts and the rest was history.

Consent is given when it is actually discussed. A dominant has (in my opinion) as much of a responsability to make sure the sub or slave is OK with something in the initial stages when communication is being worked on, as the sub or slave does in offering up their OK for certain activities. Especially when dealing with a newcomer, you have to make sure the lines of communicaton are open at all times. And someone can stop consenting. You cant turn back time and un-consent the past activities, but you can not consent to those same activities again if they are not something you wish to do. Every session, every meeting... consent is given by both parties. After a while, consent is implied, and understood. But even in a long term, commited relationship, if consent isnt given, it is the persons right to say so. My 2 cents DV

At what point can a slave (or sub) pull back her consent? * i have no idea if i'm making any sense here or not, and should no doubt be trying to sleep* IMO going to a persons house does not equal consent. It just means that you are going to visit him. However, if it is agreed before you go that there would be play during your visit, and you change your mind once you get there, you are not required to keep that agreement simply because you said yes online. Things change. People change. You may get there and discover that he is nothing like you thought he would be and you don't want to do anything but have a nice visit. But he is not a mind-reader and you must make it clear that although the offer is nice, you would prefer not to do anything physical at this time. If he pushes you further or forces himself upon you, to the point of intercourse, it is called rape. It doesn't matter if his dick is hanging out his pants and you are half naked. If you want to stop, you should be able to say no at any time. This is where communication is very important. While talking online, make no promises, make no demands. Just set a date to meet and if it feels good to do anything other than meet, then have fun :) And remember, a safe call should be in place for you.

I agree with this, visiting someone in their home absolutely does not equal consent. Although, it does seems that many folks do equate going to someone's home or bringing someone to your own home as an invatiation to progress beyond your personal expectations or desires. I will not go to someone's home or invite him to mine, until I am ready for the possibility of that next, emotional and/or physical "step". At that time, if nothing happens, that's fine, if things do happen, that's fine, too. I prefer to date and enjoy extracurricular activities and get to know someone for a while (as in, establishing a trust and compatibility factor) before heading to "home territory", his or mine.

If I go over to a dominant's house than I have not consented to any and all activities. It means I've gone over to the house, maybe to do something as boring as watch a movie. I think one can withdraw consent at any time. It simply has varying consequences depending on the dominant in question. For us, not being able to withdraw the consent would make the consent meaningless and similiar to someone who doesn't actually want to be in a d/s relationship but just doesn't have a choice.

If i get invited to a friends house to play poker and i agree but then i get there and everyone is drinking beer and smoking cigars at the table, would the host pour a beer down my throat, shove a cigar in my mouth and force me to deal? Another example of why clear, detailed communication is so important.

i don't know if it's looked at the same way now, but in the olden days if you went to a man's house to see his etchings It was automatically assumed that you knewwhat you were there for.

MasterHX -> RE: Confused (1/12/2008 4:13:31 AM)
Speaking only from my own point of view: Whether formal or assumed, I rarely enter into play unless I'm sure that the consent is there. In either case, the sub/slave can recind her consent at any time during play. Now, there are those who will say that if she's your slave, she has no further right to refuse your requests or demands. In a perfect world that would be true, but then... in a perfect world, a slave would only give herself to someone who understood her limits and respected them, so the concept of refusal would be a moot point.

What olden days are you talking about? Maybe in your life, you automatically assumed you were there to see more than the mans etchings. I am only a year or two older than you are, and I never had that assumption. If a man asked me to come up to his apartment for a cup of coffee after a date, it was not automatically understood that I was to have sex with him. Sometimes coffee is just coffee.

BeingChewsie -> RE: Confused (1/12/2008 5:04:54 AM)
Quick reply: I believe I consented the moment he explained what his relatonship with me would look like, what the terms would be etc and I decided to get involved.

If I talked to someone online and then went to visit him at his house the only consent at that point I had given was a meeting, it would not give him permission for anything else unless we discussed it. If just setting up a meeting were given consent to all then it would be 'alright' for him to sodomize you with a broom handle? After 5 years, I still give consent for certain things. I can't see consent as a blanket term for every activity that is going to occur in the relationship or for even the vanilla things that happen. He still asks consent to get something out of my purse. It's a respect thing.

I second that MistressofGa. Having a person of the opposite sex into your home is not an assumed consent to have sex. Even when I began dating it was not applied consent for anything for me I suppose the 'olden days' would be the 80's. If this were the case, I'd be in some big trouble. Even though I am attached I have male friends who come visit. My former Dom and I are still very dear friends and he does visit and we simply hang out, watch a movie break bread together. My high school sweetheart is a very dear friend of mine still, and he married but we still occasionaly get together and have dinner and rehash old times. I can see that their visits to my home or mine to theirs is applied consent for anything. I further can not understand the concept of giving any sort of consent to someone you have spoken to online or on the phone without first meeting them. I did meet my Master online. There was no consent for anything given other than a meeting. I get awful thoughts going through my brain of consenting online and carrying it through. Sub meets Dom online, they exchange emails, they have phone conversation, she says Sir consent given, she goes to his house, and he hasn't had a bath in six weeks because he has been on the net desperately trying to get that consent from ONE submissive. But because she gave that consent she gives him a blow job anyways????
