ORIGINAL: NightWindWhisper Many of the images appear to show real and severe damage that will likely leave lifelong scars, sometimes known as Venetian Blind marks. In the Eastern Block countries poverty is so rife that even very young girls will perform sexual favors, as a matter of routine for enough money simply for them or their family to eat. Unlike “play” of the sort usually dealt with on collarme.com, where there is erotic stimulation amongst kinky people forming kindred relationships; where there are erotic rewards—what some of the images seem to portray here is simple victimization, and as such is abuse; and even though the participants may have consented—economic victimization is by (American) definition abuse. I suppose some of these severe marks could be theatrically produced but I suspect that at least some are real. I find some of these pictures arousing, and some, the extreme ones that appear to be real damage, frightening and repulsive. It did occur to Me a few years ago when I first saw them that indeed there might be some exploitation going on as if you look at the real fear in their eyes. Some seemed to be pros capable of dealing with this on a day to day basis but some I believe were not. I am not condoning any activity that is not consented between all involved in any manner. Beyond consensuality it seems that the next most important rule is “do no permanent harm.” Consensual reddening of a bottom, striping, leaving minor bruises that last for some days to a week or so is usually accepted as causing no permanent harm. To leave bruising that lasts beyond two weeks inevitably will result in scarring and the syndrome known as leather bottom (and probably other names) where deep tissue damage has left the area scarred and damaged with little or no feeling. I certainly hope that nobody here looks at some of the extreme examples here as being acceptable—and use that as a gauge for marking someone. A dominant’s prime role is protective, to make sure that even if the bottom wants to experience extreme stimulation that the actions never go to the realm of permanent harm. Yes the leather bottoming can occur in daily sessions back to back if care is not given to proper fluid intake and movement be it yoga or excersise. If one is in doubt of the long term effects one might consider consulting one in a medical profession for guidance in a healthy lifestyle. Ross
