Another "force" play thread, with a twist.

Here, I'm discussing the forcing of a submissive who does want to do the act, in some regard or another. Why is this so poorly met?

Why is there such a reluctance to accept a mutual fetish of feigned resistance and force? Why are people so willing to harp on the use of the word "force" while other indefinite terms like "slave" go unquestioned? Just as many people are "forced" in BDSM as there are webster definition* slaves. Have we just tired of picking on slaves, so instead we focus on another unimportant distinction?

Inspired by this post, I agree that one should say "I like it when..." instead of "I want to be forced to..." Force, in the latter sense, is a roleplay. What's wrong with roleplay? Would all this hubbub be silenced if we agreed on the phrase "roleplayed force"?

Is it because it's fake? How does one define "fake"? and does it matter if it's fake?

I've asked many questions, but not sound rude. Most questions here are rewordings of the same concept, I just felt more variations on the prompt would ease people into the direction I wanted to see this thread take.

*I didn't check what Webster has to say, but I mean the concept of a person being property, specifically without the right to leave.

I don't know that there is.. and I don't know that anybody is obliged to accept anything, why should they? Whoever "they" are?

I'd like to agree with you... butthis thread exists... which provides a link to this thread.
And this one, where LA links 4-5 more.
Also this.
Another doosy.
This one too.
Moar.

All these threads labor the point of how "forced play" is not really forced. I'm not calling anyone out (there's nothing to call out - they're right). I just want to call attention to how much attention this issue gets.

I like being forceful/overpowering someone, and/or having them do so to me. I'm also uncomfortable with being on the giving end of rape play scenes, which is how *I* tend to view "forced" male/male contact. Being on the "getting" end of rape play can be hot with the right person in the right circumstances. However, I would need to genuinely *want* to have sex with my partner who is doing that with me, and have him make sure I'm actually able to enjoy it, even if he's doing some other things that I dislike in order to get me to complain about it. The impression I've had from the men who are interested in male/male play is that they don't want to enjoy the sex, that they aren't attracted to the other man, they just want to be turned on by the woman making him do it through some combination of verbal coercion and physical force. That's a little too close to the genine thing for me, and also seems to be using the other man in a really negative way. Likewise for "forced" woman/woman play, though that doesn't seem to come up as often. I'm also concerned that the other participant may not be aware ahead of time that the other person doesn't want to have sex with them, or how the scene is going to be carried out, and that they won't necessarily get the aftercare they need to make it a positive experience.

Other kinds of "forced" play don't push my buttons negatively in that particular way. However, it seems to be combined, for a lot of male submissives, with heavy verbal humiliation play. I suppose I could get into that in a roleplaying scene, with costuming and a different name and stuff. It would definitely feel like I was acting a role rather than being myself, and I'd probably feel pretty silly/ridiculous at the time, which would make me feel less dominant. If I were the submissive, I wouldn't want humiliation, except perhaps in an explicit roleplaying scene, and I wouldn't want most kinds of force play. So, I usually prefer to play and be in relationships with people who *want* to do what we're doing, and let me know they're enjoying it (verbally and/or with body language).

I don't think that people who want the roleplaying, with or without the trappings, are "wrong" or bad or unsubmissive or whatever, necessarily, but it's not something that draws me, especially if I were in a D/s relationship as a Domme. If someone doesn't want to do what I want from them, and keeps resisting it, I don't want to force them or fight with them or argue with them. "I don't want to do x, I want to be forced to do it because you enjoy it," my reaction tends to be to avoid doing x since they don't want to do it, and find a compromise with something we both like. Occasionally I can push for something *I* want, but if he's always complaining and resisting, I'm not likely to put up with it. I don't much care for brattiness, either (playful teasing is fine, but trying to push until they get punished doesn't work for me).

I think a big part of it is that a lot of male Dominants *do* like brat/resistance play from their submissives, and are much more open to women who only submit in the bedroom. Female Dominants frequently dislike that dynamic, and want someone who is compliant, and submissive in the rest of the relationship, not just in the BDSM play. Of course, there are quite a few men who *do* need a 24/7 M/s or D/s dynamic, and women who are willing to top or dominate for a scene or in play only.

It just doesn't float My boat to be roleplaying, so I don't want to pretend to force someone who is pretending to be forced ... that's all just too much like hard work for Me. However, I have always said, if it floats someone else's boat that's fine by Me, they just wouldn't be the one to suit Me. For Me it's a lifestyle, a way of living, and while I might speak of "play" (referring to the bdsm activities), I "live" as a Domme and as a sub and want a sub who does likewise and who serves willingly without My having to pander to some "forced play". Neither is better nor worse, just a different way of doing WIITWD.

Remember, it's early and the caffeine isn't working just yet.

I think there are a couple of reasons why what you are pointing out happens in discussions.  One is the fact that people do want to point out that the underlying fact that whatever is being "forced" is truly a consensual activity.  Even if it makes whatever it is more fun to have that under current feeling that it is against someone's will, the fact is that both actually want to do whatever it is that's occurring.  People do get touchy about the idea that it might get misinterpreted as something where the consent didn't exist, and some of us chose to be quite careful about that.

Even though the concept of force can be fun for the participants, the reality of the scene is that both parties are accepting of what they are doing.

Well we could say that all of this is a roleplay of sorts! after all you only submit to a dominant if you want to feel submissive and you only dominante someone because you want to feel dominant. You can't spank many vanilla men or tie up and flog a dainty female in the vanilla world can you?
When I was a kid I used to play mommys and daddys and ya know what ? it felt as real to me then as my dominance or submission feels to me now. I was the real mommy of that pathetic plastic doll with sparse yellow hair and one eye that never closed properly and it felt good and satisfying but it was still role-play.
I like going down that consensual forced path because it takes me one step away from my realist views on all of this.
I may not be liking it when I'm hanging onto his legs and begging him not to kill me because he's so bloody good at making me believe he can and will do it that at that point I am so far away from the roleplay stuff that I can't think about anything but surviving but the recollections of that keep me going for weeks after.
Of course its consensual and of course its roleplay but its roleplay at its most creative and its a much needed drug for sick pups like myself!

I'm with MaamJay, in that it's rather silly to force someone that is wanting to do something to begin with...and more so when YOU want to do whatever as well.  If anything, this could be approached differently.  Perhaps if the act of whatever is being "forced" could provide variations or different paths that could be taken to get to whatever is being forced... now that might provide some alternative to give the one to be "forced" something to think about.  For instance, let's say a sub desires "forced enemas" (not a hard stretch...please forgive the pun), and we all know that person wants that enema.  This act provides YOU the enforcer, to deliver the kind of enema that you know your sub enjoys and looks forward to..and it also has the possibility to deliver one or more that you sub isn't so fond of.  They may expect one thing, and they will on one level... but they will GET something else that they may not feel so fondly towards at least first.  The "Force" part of this exercize would be that the subject would have to endure the act in their least-favorite method before (or "IF") they could recieve the more preferred or desired act they actually crave.  This is a reward based "forcing", but I feel qualifies the term for what could be adapted to play.  Forcing someone to endure an act could also entail not doing the desired act to how they like it.  Masturbation on the part of the sub, may be a desired goal, but forcing them to masturbate in only one way (their least favorite way of course) would satisfy my definition of "forced".

This is something I recently wrote in my journal

When I told S that I had this fantasy of being kidnapped he didn't appear to take much notice.

I had this vision of how it would be. It was my fantasy and I had it all planned out from start to finish.

I should of known it would be nothing like my fantasy, I should of known that giving specifics to S would just fall on deaf ears.

So the other night I was kidnapped. There was nothing sensual or erotic about it. There was no game plan on my part. This was as close to the real thing as he could possibly take me. This was real fear, real confusion, real head fuck.

At one point I laughed hysterically but that was shortly followed by wailing sobs and pleads to let me go.

I imagined my rescuers coming to get me and I concentrated on gnawing off my beautifully manicured fingernails whilst I waited for them.

I felt so many emotions. I felt hate, anger, numbness and I felt a great longing to survive. I felt fear in its rawest state.

I know with S that I must be careful what I ask for! I know he will always do it his way and not mine but then thats what I love about him.

I also know that he would never really hurt me. Fuck with my head...hell yes but he knows me better than any other living person. I think perhaps he knows me better than I know myself. He knows how far he can take me and he knows expertly how to bring me back.

So do I need therapy? hell no! that was the best therapy I have had in ages!

Maybe thats too much like play to some and to others its possibly shocking. To us its consensual forced roleplay and its hot.

I bolded that line because it isn't always true. You can accept doing something, be resigned to it, without wanting it.

I accept that he can have sex any time he wants but there are times I don't want to have sex. If I'm doing laundry, I rarely feel sexual. Something about dealing with dirty clothes is a turn off to me. So if he comes up while I'm doing it, throws me down and takes me I'm not going to enjoy the sex.

What I will enjoy is the fact that he did what he wanted, and the control. And that's a lot different than enjoying the sex and orgasming.

I can tell you what is annoying for me.  First, let's not call it "force," let's call it "resistance play," or something else. No one is forcing anyone to do anything.

I have dominated a lot of men (vanilla and submissive) who enjoy certain acts in the context of submission that they would otherwise NEVER do.  They cannot bring themselves to do it, they have to feel vulnerable or somewhat seduced to get to that point, or they have to work their way toward it. It's a very hot thing when you get them there, because it's clearly not easy; they crave it, yet are afraid of it.  They find themselves doing it, and it's incredibly hot, but once it's over, they kind of question how they managed to do it.  In that sense, I play the role of seductress, of domina, of sadist.  I push them somewhere. We both want it, but it's a power exchange.  This can be for ANY number of kinks: wearing panties, enduring anal play, sucking a strap on dick, etc.  What is absolutely vital for them to be able to submit is their relationship with ME, the trust, and the scenario we create.  It's hot.

Compare this to a sub who already does all these fetishes to himself. He plays with his own toys, he sees pros, he masturbates with the acts he's talking about, he does them all the time. He will basically do it with any woman who is willing to engage with him (granted, I am describing the extreme other end of the spectrum, and there's a LOT in between).  When he offers up to me that he likes 'forced' or 'resistance' play, he is just looking for a woman to be the prop.  In his head, in his fantasy, she's the "bitch femdom," or she is mean, or she is nasty and cruel, but in reality, she is doing EXACTLY what he wants. There is no surrender going on here. She is as arbitrary as the 8 inch dildo he's sucking on.  If she weren't in the room, he'd just be on all fours sucking it by himself and pretending she was there.  I have no desire to be anyone's prop.

If subs in scenario B want to position themselves as bottoms, that's great  - and you know what, if he's really hot, and can roleplay well, and has a fun, flirty kind of style that makes him fun to top, I may be very interested in doing some roleplay.  But he can't tell me the 'surrender' he is offering is the same as the subs in category A, because it's not.

At the end of the day, what trumps ALL of this, though, is chemistry. If I dig a guy in a huge way, trust me, I'll find a way to get my femdom itch scratched even if he's way too INTO the stuff I am "forcing" him to do - we'll just figure out a way to work through it.  Most cases, though, the overly eager "oh, force me, force me!" stuff when the guy is already doing the acts by himself or with any woman he can get just does not click with me.  I enjoy doing things to a man that he at least finds somewhat challenging, vulnerable or difficult - and that he does them because of his connection with me.

I see forced play as two types of things. The first is forced play where the point of the play is being force: play rape, kidnapping, that sort of thing. The other type of forced play is when the focus is on the type of play that the submissive finds wrong or dirty, and thus must be forced into. It's the latter type that is usually the subject of angst.

For me, the crux of the matter is that, when someone wants to be 'forced' into something, it's because they look down on that activity.

If a man needs to be 'forced' into bisexual play, then he's basically saying that he finds bi play disgusting/degrading, whatever. Yet, despite putting it down, he craves it. It's like saying, "Oh, that's so disgusting and wrong and nasty. Please don't (do) make me do it!" The concept in inherently hypocritical, since he secretly desires whatever he wants to be forced to do. Whether or not I engage on whatever the submissive is begging not to do/to do, it irks me that they're putting others who enjoy it down. Either stop thinking it's disgusting or dirty, or don't engage in the play. You can't hate homosexuality and be gay (alright, you can, but doing that makes you an asshole), and I see this type of 'forced play' as pretty much the same idea.

Well thats certainly not true in my case. I love the thought of being forced and its as simple as that. I don't want to be raped or kidnapped 'my way' and sometimes I seriously don't want to give in to a beating.
I am also friends with some gay S&m guys and they love forcing it on each other. They don't do it because they find it revolting but because its powerfully exciting.

Then I'd say you're into the first type of forced play...you like the force. You don't need it because you can't admit your desires to yourself.

I would have to say that the mood or the activity that's being interrupted has little to do with it.  In fact, you've consented to the sex when he wants it in your dynamic.  If that wasn't the case, it would be non consensual rape, and this would be a much different thread.

I don't call anything forced, I just call it consensual play, it sounds much better
and easier for everyone to understand.

We both have agreed to what we are doing, so why ever call it forced?

Yeah, the whole "Please don't throw me in the briar patch, Br'er Domme!" shtick can get a little annoying, especially if he demands that I (or the Domme in general, I suppose) get turned on by "forcing" him to do what he wants. One guy even said he expected me to orgasm just from seeing him "forced" to wear a pair of panties! None of the male Dominants I've talked with have expected that level of orgasm control out of the box, and they don't expect me to come just from seeing them wear something, they realise it takes more than that.
