I've noticed a common trend amongst many of the Fem Domme profiles here, and that is many seem to include pictures of them smoking. I've always thought smoking was a habit socially on it's way out, but it's amazing how many people still endulge. So what's your take on it?

I have to say the same. While at munches, the ones that are usually lighting up are the ones calling themselves femdoms.
Rarely do I ever see male dominants smoking. A cigar now and then.

I bet we could concoct a great many theories to go behind it. Maybe someone else will.

I detest Ayn Rand, but I do like that quote.

I find smokers to be more life-loving and fearless than the non smoking population. There are days- weeks even, when the nicest thing that happens to me all day is lighting up a smoke.

I love the soft sharp taste of tabacco in a womans mouth when I kiss her deeply, the flare revealing her face as she lights it, some way down a dark street, where she waits for me. The waft of a cigar in my nose when my mouth is filled with a sharp dry zinfidel.

I have been mid-atlantic on a midwatch, the only thing brighter than the wake, the stars, the only thing brighter than the stars the hoarded cigarette I am drawing on.

I am a smoker.

Ohhhhhhh Sir.......until about 6 months ago I could not have agreed with you more, I guess in some ways I still do. I have always been a smoker and I loved every minute of it. The day came though when I watched them vacuum out my mothers's lungs while she lay there on a respirator not able to breathe on her own. Here I was telling her that I would be right back, I was just going to grab a smoke. My next thought as I was standing outside the hospital was that I must have rocks in my head. That was the day I laid them down.....hopefully for good. I realized that I am not that far behind her really and I don't ever want to go through what she is going through now. That does not mean that I don't still crave it, because surely I do. I am angry that something so pleasurable has to be so damned unhealthy.

I am asthmatic so I don't smoke but I have surely done my fair share of second hand smoking. I don't have any strong feelings on it either way.

Of course Topcat has a way of making most things sexy and his post on this topic is no exception.

I think you may be right about the mid west. I recently came home from a long stint in the midwest for work. I was absolutely THRILLED that the place I lived allowed smoking in bars. There's something inherently sensual about being able to drink and smoke...something that I find lost here in the Empire State.

I don't go out to bars nearly at the rate I used to. I feel naked somehow that I have to leave my party, and step outside to smoke. Of course, I understand the health risks, I'm certainly not a moron, nor am I looking to hurt anyone else. But that doesn't mean I don't miss it.

wow what a great post that was! i find it to be a turn on when a man smokes, eventhough i am aware of all the health risks and i also realize i have to give up this habbit real soon since it is affecting my health greatly, but if i am going to be honest about it, i have to admit i do find it sexy..... i've always kinda seen it as there being two kinds of people, smokers and non smokers, lol...and of course, the smokers tend to be more edgy and zestful, impulsive, usually will enjoy drinking and maybe even gambling here and there, maybe they have more of a dark side to them...well, i know this is definately not the case with all smokers, it's just ideas i have floating around in my head, not to say they are true by any means, just preconceived notions we all have at times....

i use to work in this clothing store when i was very young, i remember the owner, which i had a mad crush on, was perhaps the most handsome man i have ever laid eyes on, he was absolutely gorgeuous, had such a mystery to him, was so very manly , he would always go outside during the day and spark up a cigarrette, i would always just watch him from inside through the glass doors/windows, i use to just drool watching him because he just seemed so caught up in his thoughts, he seemed so alive and full of fire inside him, i don't know why i am writing about this but it just entered my mind ... i recently heard, about a year or so ago, he passed away, had a brain tumor, it seems unreal to me that this young vibrant man, which had everything in the world at one point in time is now gone.

it's such a bad habbit, and so hard to get rid of, but it's so damn good to be able to just light up a cigarrette and relax... my Master wants me to start cutting back and eventually quit, i know i have to, but am not looking forward to it! i had quit before, when i had my child, or rather, when i was pregnant, and had not picked up a cigarrette in five years when one night of partying about 4 years ago led me to say, what the hell, and pick up a cigarrette, well, i never stopped missing it in those 5 yrs i had quit.

For once I disagree with topcat.

quote:

This ain't Ayn Rand:

Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

When I was in high school I started to smoke. I thought I was a being a rebel and grown up and maybe even glamourous just like in the movies. But when I got to college I bought my first 10 speed bike and when I started riding I found myself gasping for air and hacking up globs of "stuff". So I was faced with a decision: would I like to go all out in physical activities I like, or would I rather trade some aerobic capacity for the imagined allure of smoking. That made it easy to quit smoking immediately, and now I just look back at smoking as one of the follies of my youth. Although I can recall the sensations of smoke in my lungs and nicotine in my brain, I far prefer the sensations of endorphins after climbing a hill on a bike or cross-country skis and then taking some deep breaths, the sort of really deep breaths I doubt smokers even know exist. The effect of such deep breating is similar to that of breathing in meditative states, and I'm sure those experiences would be diminished if my lungs were clogged with tars and other crud from smoke.

Now if I'm someplace having smokers and poor ventilation, I leave because I start to get a headache but my clothes end up reeking of it anyway. If I deeply kiss a girl who smokes it is like licking an ashtry and her natural delicious and arousing girly aroma is buried beneath the stink of smoke. But I rarely kiss gals who smoke anymore, because if one catches my eye and then I see her light up a smoke, I find it just as attractive as if she were putting a turd between her lips and it is too difficult to flirt after that.

While I'm not quite a member of the militant anti-smoking crowd, I'm glad they're out there.

I'm with you, happypervert.

I don't understand why anyone would ever start smoking. The dangers are well publicized. Anyone wanting to flirt with death can do any number of things such as skydiving, scuba diving/caving (a major killer of scuba divers), race car driving, policeman, fireman, movie stuntman.... lots of things one can do to shorten their life and not be burning up money doing it. Smoking has gotten quite expensive. The most troubling thing about smoking to me is that low-income, poorly educated people are more likely to smoke than upper-income, college graduates. The least able to afford a costly vice are the ones most likely to smoke, drink and gamble to excess. (I'm quoting statistics, here. There are exceptions to everything, but this is the norm... at least where I live.)

As most know, I league bowl. Being with smokers is the major drawback. They don't smoke just one or two during two hours of league play, they smoke 6 or 8.. and allow them to burn up in the ashtray most of the time. A smell that is far worse than them smoking and exhaling.

I think women are smoking more now because of the freedom to do so. When I first went to college, the women's college I went to had a rule against students walking and smoking at the same time. It was considered unladylike. Now, there is no such rule. Smoking used to be so taboo. So, people sneaked around and did it. It was rebellion. But it's not something that I've EVER wanted to do. And I just heard on the news last night that smoking was worse on women than on men. It cuts on more years of their life than it does for men. Another reason not to ever start.

Smoking is a controlled suicide.

Perhaps smoking starts off as being rebelious or trying to show off. Latter on, it's for people who don't care about themselves or like being a gluntent for punishment. Some use it as something to bitch about. People use it for all sorts of excuses. To fit in, to socialize, to keep me from drinking to much to fast, to.. to.. too.... Either way, everyone knows the risk.

Smoking usually does start out as trying to show off. It's a habit. It has nothing to do with my not caring about myself. I don't bitch about it. I don't try to fit in (there are so many people against smoking now, fitting in, would be the last thing on my mind). It doesn't help me socialize. If anything, it secludes a person from others. Non smokers, don't care to be in a room with smokers. It doesn't keep me from eating any more than I already do (just look at my profile, already chubby). We do know ALL the risks. Yet, there are risks in everything we do in life. Why do we still do them? Because, we enjoy them. Smoking, isn't really any different from eating a few too much cake. Both, are bad for your health. Heck, there are risks in this lifestyle. Why are we still involved? We enjoy it!! Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be a turn on for everyone. I find certain things a turn off myself. Smoking, just isn't one of them.

In response to the thread's that seem to be missing at the moment. I'm not a fan of smoker's either. Doug will light up a cigar now and then. He always makes sure I get my kisses beforehand.
That taste stays with him 2 days no matter how many times he brushes his teeth. Sick.

Anyway, as far as cigarettes go. I'm allergic to the smoke. Gives me a sore throat within 5 minutes of being around them.

So, I've never tried it. Never will, then again collarme is my first addiction I've ever had in my entire life.

Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad one.

I am quite life-loving and fearless, and a non-smoker. I fail to see how smoking behavior correlates to those qualities. Just my opinion...

Because they aren't wanting to take your life for not having a cigarette. Hehehehe.

there are some who have what we affectionately refer to as a "fetish"...

quote:

The smoking fetish appears to be rare enough that its existence went largely unnoticed until the advent of the Internet, when fetishists began to meet online, trading pictures of smoking women, short stories, and reporting sightings or simply discussing their fascination on open forums.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_fetish

quote:

For me, a woman who smokes is just incredibly sexy, seductive..erotic....she combines everything I love about the opposite sex. The horny, hot, whore, wanton, slut, bad-girl side and the more ladylike, seductive, glamourous feminine side. But I think it's even more than that. I think it's the fact that a lady "in the know" can have such power over me, such control, from across the far side of a packed room....must be lighting up that cigarette....looking right at me as she does...locking my eyes to her...that almost imperceptable smirk in her eyes that says "I know what I'm doing to you...just think....if I'm a bad enough girl to smoke, what else am I bad enough to do?"
http://smokefetish.blogspot.com/2005/02/defining-fetish.html

perhaps the Ladies are appealing to a certain audience.

There is danger in everything we do in life, just crossing the street everyday can be dangerous. All those things you mentioned that flirt wit death require spending money as well and more then it costs to smoke, with the exception of the last 3 things. And being a fireman or a police man isnt something one does to flirt with death, its a job that they love and also do it as a public service to help the community they are part of. Being a member of the armed forces is flirting with death especially when you are deployed someplace. I dont think too many people smoke just because they want to flirt with death.

I just can't get over that post....

I'm sure, that statistically speaking, a lot of smokers are in the low income bracket. However, just because someones can't or chooses not to go to college and become "educated" doesn't mean they are poorly educated and addicts..... I know plenty of poor folk that choose not to smoke...and I know a helluva lot more that are well off in financial terms that have a daily routine of sitting at the bar, chain smoking, and attempting to drive themselves home every night. These are the ones running the state offices and have college degrees.
I for one have no college degree, but am far from uneducated and have a higher IQ than most people I meet, as well as more common sense than the majority I find in everyday life.... but I choose to smoke, because dammit, I like it.
