ORIGINAL: Karmastic my biggest "whoops" was thinking that conversing with a bunch of "weirdos" who like kinky stuff meant they would be more accepting and inclusive of WIITWD. the whoops was that it really meant opposite of inclusive for some who think being kinky and BDSM are akin to being in a hierarchical club with some perceived superiority based on some contrived definition of what experience is. I do not "play" in public, and I have no involvement with "leather", and have no desires to experiment with either of those things. I think that most on here know that about me, and they are ok with it. For me, it is all something very personal. That said, I do learn from those on these threads who do have experience with all sorts of things I may never try. I can not ever recall anyone acting like they had some quote:
perceived superiority based on some contrived definition of what experience is. My biggest whoops was actually a learning experience, where I learned to be absolutely sure I was capable of doing something, before I agreed to do it. It is better to just leave it on the table, with both parties knowing it will take lots of work, and even then, it may not happen. everything you said, taken out of context, makes perfect sense. well said! if you would, can you please explain how any of that has anything at all to do with what i've said? i.e., put it into context of something that i've written. You implied that some folks quote:
think being kinky and BDSM are akin to being in a hierarchical club with some perceived superiority based on some contrived definition of what experience is. I am saying that has not been my experience. Everyone I have come across is more than willing to share whatever they can, and they have never tried to make me feel somehow less than them, just because I do things differently. thank you for explaining that, i really was that dumb, and didn't understand you. i have to say, you're lucky. i've perceived the need for many to want to compete, which goes against the very fiber of my being. none of my self worth comes from how i identify (male, D, etc etc). my perception is based on replies to me where someone who doesn't know much of anything about me feels compelled to proclaim their knowledge of my level of experience, or what they perceive as a lack of "experience". to me, this simply means they have a lot of self esteem wrapped up in the BDSM label, and need to feel superior. that's where those words came from. IRL, i've experienced the same, but more from other male Ds who seem to feel threatened by me, or who liked showing power. perhaps that's more of a male dynamic that i don't subscribe to (sorry, i'm not sure if you're a man or not).
