ORIGINAL: crouchingtigress ok so i guess ill share, even though i am scared too, because i dont really want to be judged....but i have done an amputation scene and it was incredibly intimate and amazing...i plan on doing more. i feel that i am the only one who can make these decisions about my own body, and if i want to live my life with out a bodypart and with a an amazing memory that is my choice. your millage may vary. is my fettish going to become dibilitating? i dont know, i dont think so, but it is important to note that according to my "peers" on this board, many folks already feel it has already become so....at the end of the day, all i have is my personal barameter, and the hope that it is not broken. I am not going to sit here and bash your decision to perform a ritualistic amputation ceremony. I was not their nor in your head when you made this decision. You say it will not be debilitating. Several people have mentioned the word debilitating as being where the line of permanent harm is located. I like exploring limits and I would like to use your amputation to continue exploring the limit of healthy behavior mentally and physically within the world of bondage, domination, sadism, and masochism. The line is a blurry grey line. Of course if it all black and white then this discussion would not be much fun now would it? In your latter post you mention that you conducted the amputation in a ritual and that part of the reason had to do with exploring the fact that your body is more than the flesh that houses your soul. This part seems more spiritual then having to do with BEDSM. Most of the rest of what you mentioned could fall under the BDSM category. You mention that you did this out of sacrifice and submission. I have never been a part of an amputation and I do not claim to truly know. I am merely trying to explore. The amputee is making a large sacrifice as a symbol of devotion. The missing body part can serve as a permanent reminder of that sacrifice. If done for the right person in the right way then this can be a frequent reminder of a great memory. For a Dom this act show true devotion, love, and sacrifice. It is not a big deal to find a sub willing to give you oral on command, but this one is so dedicated that she would go as far as cutting off a body part for you. This is my best stab at what the dynamic is that leads people to engage in acts of amputating undamaged body parts. The larger the sacrifice the larger the larger the effect will be, but the larger the sacrifice the more debilitating it can become to future life. If my partner and I were to cut ourselves lightly and put the blood in villes and then wear each others blood viles around our necks we would be making a small ritualistic sacrifice, and would have a reminder of that sacrifice that we could carry with us. Similarly if a submissive cut a chunk out of their flesh, but did not cut the bone, and the Dom ate this flesh or something, then the scar leaves a permanent reminder for the sub, and eating meat will be give a frequent reminder to the Dom. A chunk of flesh will not be debilitating. A finger tip will make typing hard. An entire foot will require a prosthetic. If they both believe the pros out way the cons then maybe it is O.K. or is it when it is debilitating that it becomes a problem. The mind is so rational it can rationalize even the irrational. In the example I gave previously the girl wanted to commit suicide and know that her body would be consumed by her lover. The girl probably hated her life and wanted to die. The Dom somehow saw this as the ultimate sacrifice given for him. She gets to die knowing she will serve someone in her final act and he gets to feel powerful and gets a freezer full of meat. Is assisted suicide so wrong. If a person is a vegetable or are so old that it hurts to function then surely Kerkorian can help with that. If someone dislikes there life so much that they can plan it for months and still go through with it then maybe it is not so bad. If they are going to die anyway then eating their body might actually be productive. The mind is so rational it can rationalize anything, even the irrational. Surely we can all agree that suicide is unhealthy and debilitating, but the fuzzy grey line was long before suicide.
