I've been pondering this for awhile. I've started to read phrases like, 'I'm new to this lifestyle,' or 'I'm new to this world,' or 'I've been in the lifestyle for xx years,' and I kind of roll my eyes. I think I'm having trouble with the use of these words and the insinuation that BDSM or d/s or m/s is somehow part of a whole other planet. And the insinuation that your entire life has to transform to enjoy BDSM.
Lifestyle conjures up images of someone that starts trying to change their whole life around like throwing out all junk food and rearranging their furniture to be more feng shui.
Only it looks more like making a list of things you want someone else to do and decorating a room in your house in black and red with modified Ikea furniture.
So, what do you think of these phrases? Like, dislike, have a better way of looking at it? I am just struggling to get the image of a lifestyle magazine out of my head and would love to hear other interpretations and views on the subject. I suspect I'll see some POV changing perspectives and I look forward to it, because I really dislike thinking in such a cynical manner.
