ORIGINAL: GotSteel Every forum on the internet doesn't have the same ratio of good to bad replies. The same girl reviews fetlife and despite noting and being upset by some of the same issues there gives fetlife unlike this site her stamp of approval. I share that opinion, if I have a question on something this is SO not the site I post it at. For example check out the vast difference in reactions to the same picture over at fetlife: https://fetlife.com/users/958868/pictures/28545275 Oh come now, that girl is not the be all and end all of opinions and she certainly has no real firm grasp about the fact that she is on the Internet, on a kinky dating site and female and therefore open to more bullshit than say a male in the same position. I watched the video and found it quite stupid. Does she make a point or two, maybe, but I found her more naive than anything. As far as it meeting her approval, I am sure going to lose sleep over the fact that she doesn't like this site. quote:
POSSIBLE being the operative word there, none of us are experienced in this kink ergo have the experience to actually know and instead of directing the original OP toward a community who would know.....well he got a pile of scathing condemnation. I am not certain that there is a community for the OP to search for in order to get better, more informed answers and perhaps they should have used Google, but they came here instead. I didn't read the original thread but the one thing that this community does do, and does well is discuss safety related to BDSM practices. Using a farm machine for a BDSM kink could certainly pose some serious risks, what those risks may be for humans is not possible to determine unless you are a doctor. You can speculate which is what has happened here, that is not condemning, it is speculation, and sometimes informed speculation. Imagine someone coming to this site and getting speculative answers... it happens quite a bit actually but such is the nature of our community because BDSM has a wide range of varying opinions, practices and possibilities. So, there may have been condemnation for a potentially unsafe practice but there again is the nature of this beast called the Internet. When one puts out a question on any site, one must be prepared to potentially get some rough replies to said question. My advice to Internet surfers that get all out of joint because of this roughness is to grow a thicker skin because, just like real life, not everyone is nice so deal with what applies to your situation and leave the rest for what it is worth, which in a lot of cases is not much at all.
