Running the risk of sounding stupid I was wondering:

What the heck does PYL mean anyhow?
As i said I have NO experience and am reading and trying to lean so any help would be nice.

thank you in advance

Hi bremerton6, welcome to Lit.

PYL is a kind of catch all term we use when referring to people who practise BDSM in a very broad sense. It saves overusage of forward slashes and means that nobody feels a discussion is specific to one type of person.

PYL = Pick Your Label: dom/me, sadist, top, master, daddy

pyl = pick your label: sub, masochist, bottom, slave, little girl.

Other abbreviations you might see here are things like: -

SSC = safe, sane, consensual - a basic BDSM motto.
YMMV = your mileage may vary
OTOH = on the other hand
IMO/E = in my opinion/experience
OP = original poster/thread starter
FWIW = for what it's worth

I'm sure there are others. There are no stupid questions, we were all new to the site and the jargon at one time or another.
 
Thank you SOOO very much I will save those so I wont feel so I guess ignorant is the right word.
Thank you, thank you. Thank you,

BTW i went to the site you have listed "the slave register" that is VERY interesting TY :)

I have no experience so therefore am reading as much as possible, trying to encourage hubby to come along for the fun.. (please don't ask how that is going ty)

Well if I had known it was a contest I would have been better prepared!

*laugh*

I will remember that for next time...Velvet...;)

Just be thankful nobody mentioned *looks around furtively and then whispers* 'cookies.' :eek:

Gracie has the ears of a bat when it comes to anything biscuit based.

Oh yes. I could never win a cookie snatching contest with Grace around.
 
Sorry Bremerton6, I'll stop chatting on your thread now. :eek:

I should have resisted the urge as I know it can make us look cliquey to newcomers. I hope you enjoy browsing around the site and that you find what you're after. :rose:

May we all find what we're after.

Bad Velvet. No cookies for you! Bad hijacker, bad!

To the OP: the pyl thing was started cause it's easier than typing dom/top/master/sadist or sub/slave/bottom/little girl. And people can be very touchy about their particular label.

I believe, if I remember right, that AngelicAssassin coined the phrase. But I could be wrong, it's been used for quite awhile around here.

And cookies are "orgasms"...I usually hang out more in the cafe because I can hijack threads with wild abandon.;)

Hey, don't ruin my fun with the newbies! I like to get them going along on the cookie game, AND THEN tell 'em that cookies are my sister and I's code word for 'orgasm'. It's funny. :devil:
 
You all sure know how ro bring a smile to my face!
can i PLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASE have cookies too?! LOL
thanks for all the info and i love it when people can poke fun at me....

Cookies are orgasms? I've been lurking here since at least February and I've never come across that little tidbit of information before. Suddenly, the cookie obsession makes sense. I think maybe I would like a cookie. I mean, if they're being given out anyway...

If you'd both like to keep your fingers I'd suggest not making it known that you want cookies. You have to sneak them away from Grace when she isn't looking.

Quite classy. You handled that very well. Now I'm glad you're here.
Welcome bremerton.
 
I mentioned, years ago, that my sister and I use the code word 'cookie' when talking about orgasms. I'm not real sure how it got to here, but it started with a lot of teasing me.

Truthfully, I don't like cookie much (the edible kind, I like orgasm's just fine). I like chocolate covered cherries and iced tea.
 
i LOVE to have Orgasams i am very selfish like that i have descovered toys and have never looked back
so sharing cookies...WEEEELLLL only if i can have some of my own! :)
sounds like a plan how many"cookies" can well all have at the same time with another woman watching...(being naughty here)

Don't feel bad, it was mentioned before I came along cause I just found out about the true meaning of 'cookie' some time this year.

For 2 years I thought gracie just had one mean sweet tooth. :eek:
 
damn

here i was thinking someone was going to be offering all the newbies some chocolate chip... only to discover we're talking about sex, AGAIN!

wait... why am i complaining?

cookie, please!
