Alright, someone's going to have to go round, and round with you to make you understand a few things. If you're going to martyr yourself as a contiecious objector, you might as well do it informed.
First off, you reposted something I said and dubbed it "Obviously abusive." You should have read it. I said accidents happen, and the only scars I mentioned where my own.
You seem fond of the word abuse, but you seem to have a rather broad definition of it. Is pain abuse? humiliation? neglect? THere are those of us that endure these things because we like them.
As I posted in your thread, abuse is in the eye of the victim. You have to ask them if you want to know. Really, if you aren't trying to "push the edge", it should never become an issue. There are plenty of ways to prevent it long before it becomes abusive.
Now, I'm not going to ask for your credentials. I don't really care about your sources, and I couldn't trust them online if I wanted to. What I can question is your methodology. First, you ASSUMED that submissives where once abused and that their lifestyle was some sort of Repetition Compulsuion. (That you didn't use the proper term means you either don't have any formal training, or you don't respect ours. Either way, I'm not impresed.)
In a word, bullshit. The vast majority of the submissives, I have known personally, and played with where bored, and jaded with Vanilla sex. Most of the incest, rape, and so forth that I've known wouldn't even concider reinactment. I've done "rape" enactment, and every one of the "Victims" wanted to know what it was like. Kinda hard to say when you've been there, and given the tee shirt to goodwill.
Dom/mes are a different story. You've got to be selective about who you bottom for because there are some who are into abuse. For lack of a better term, I'll call them "Thatches." A thatch is a personality difficient buff who's into the "I'm god, and you'er shit" trip. They tend to be the ones to ignore safe words, and whip when they damn well please. That's abuse, and it's domination.
You can dominate without abuse, and I will even walk you through it. First, they sit down together, fully clothed, and talk about it. Usually, the best time to do this is during the slow spiral inward that is our mating dance. Each finds out what the other likes, and expects sexually. This is not abusive.
Next, safeties are agreed on. The primary one that should be in every toolbox is safe words. In case nobody has taken the trouble to explain this too you, it's a signal that things are getting a little too rough. I go beyond that to add a spectrum, multistaging it sou you can instantly tell how for over you have gone. That way, you can just slow down rather than shattering the mood by having to stop.
At this point, I should talk about tempo. You don't want to dive into the Mapplethorpe shit right out the gate. Start off by having the bottom on the bottom. Hold their hands, get them used to you being in controll, and talk to them constantly. Bondage is way far off, as is pain, and other "Edge play". PLease them, let them feel loved, and show them that they truly are the center around which the scene revolves. That is not abuse.
Finally, you can work in some pain, and here's where you get to the secret. If you've read this far, I guess you earned it, but here goes. Start softer than soft, build slower than slow. This is what drags scenes out for hours. It's a tantric thing, sustaining arousal through distrtaction, and building endorphins(Chi, whatever) to where pain feels good.
Take my word for it, when your ears are about to burst into flames, and your phallus is bulging out of it's container, the one who's done this too you's teeth feel real good. Start with the pleasure, then add the slightest dose of pain. Just a nip, enough to set off the radar, but not so much as to jam out the pleasure.
That's the real trick to this, you cannot talk about it if you haven't been there. I can't tell you what Ultraviolet looks like, I've never seen it. Don't knock it untill you try it. Then, I'll respect your opinion.

I can agree with most of what you post except for one thing.

Abuse is NEVER domination. Abuse is abuse, and never the twain shall meet.

If an abuser calls himself or herself a dominant, that just does not make it so. I can call myself a ballet dancer but that does not mean I can dance on pointe or tour jete.

Domination is a consentual relationship. Abuse is another story.
 
There seems to be a discrepancy between Domination, and "domination" just like there is a distinction between "abuse" and ABUSE.
I'm sorry, but if someone actually went to the trouble to knock me out, and strap me in for some fun with a soldering iron I'd feel pretty damn dominated. No quotes, no safe words, real abuse, and domination. The problem is, it'd take some serious restraints because I would never submit to that.
You can dominate without submission, that's what abuse is.

Well we can go around and around, but I believe that is aggression or assault. And I thought the topic was of D/s. so that is how I answer the questions.

Too often people post about aggression and try to tie it to D/s. I am always mindful that some people who are new to D/s may not know the difference.

Aggression and assault are not domination in the context of this forum.

That is My point.

I rather liked this point and believe you conceded too easily.

The points raised against you
"Domination is a consensual relationship" and
"Aggression and assault are not domination" are seemingly vague and/or unclear, or if not, lacking in crucial details.

Domination is clearly defined as 'ruling, governing, controlling, commanding'. This forum cannot give it, by itself, any special meaning, but can only qualify, as in "domination in a consensual relationship." "Domination in a duly constituted, legitimate institution" --as guards over prisoners, or "Domination in the context of an unlawful kidnapping." Command and control.

The other obvious possibility about "domination" (in quotes), which does apply sometimes around here is "play acted" domination, as if you and I agree on a little play, and I'm Louis XIV and you are a peasant I 'order' around. Or, a whipping scene in which I pretend to flog you mercilessly and savagely and you pretend you want it to stop, cant take it any longer, etc. (And it's understood I ignore such requests.)

Whether a domination (of erotic nature)--or a "domination" (play acted, but with actual harm)-- is an assault has been looked at by the courts, and a significant number have said 'yes', convicting the (consensual) dom. (In UK, 'Spanner').

Best,
J.

i can do a tour jete! i've got this great video footage of my own little ballet recital in my bedroom. this was when i had all the furniture cleared out, and i had LOTS of space to dance! i did pirouettes (or however it's spelled) and point turns and lame duck turns and a couple of tour jetes! ballet is FUN!

ok, hijack over, i'm just in a good mood and felt like posting this!
 
I conceeded because she's right. We are talking about recreational domination here, not actual rape, and torture. No need to drag this thread down with depressive, and irrelevant subjects.
BTW, I liked your little interjection there Bunny. Somebody had to break the mood there, and you did it admirably.
 
In any event, your description of the process made me yearn!

;)

Too often people think that a submissive is a whipping post.

You can go to a singles bar, pick up a vanilla partner and have vanilla sex. Safety in that scene is a condom.

It just doesnt' or rather, should never happen that way in D/s. IF I meet a Dominant for coffee and He suggests going somewhere more private, I am out of there! Pffffft! A Dominant and submissive know one aother on a plane separate from the raging hormones and extreme orgasmic mind fuck. Many times, the negotiation process almost feels like it breaks down intimacy into a technical checklist of do's and don'ts. However, once completed, then the Dominant has the ability to freely create scenes and enticing morsels that are safe and ethereal for both.

Yes, I can raise my hand high and say there are times when the process of negotiation and training seem interminable to an anxious submissive. But, as we often joke ....submissives are not known for their patience!

;)

I can live with 'recreational domination' just as I can live with recreational (re-fighting of) civil war battles. And under that term I include all staged 'scenes', including those paid for by the (recreational) 'victims.' The other variable of import is the amount of actual bodily harm, if any, done in the infliction of
the 'recreational pain.' If I may use an analogy, it's not unlike what happens to a stuntman in (staged) falling off a building. Though the result, to some degree is simulated, there may be actual bruises.

(pirouettes off to stage right.)
 
I might have been a bit too Analiteral in my description of the slow spiral danse. In reality, anyone with decent lingual, and social skills can work it in. No need for secconds, or interpreters here, it doesn't have to be a fucking negotiation unless you want it too.
True, it's a serious subject that has to be broached sometime, but if you take a page from the vanilla manual, you shouldn't be diving into bed like a couple of fuck bunnies anyway. At it's heart, Ds is a relationship. If you cannot compromise, then it won't last. Diplomacy is all about being comfortable with this arrangement.
If it helps, you can make a game of it. Play truth, or dare if you're not feeling all that creative, and ask the same questions you've read here. "What was your best experience?" "What have you done that you've regretted?" This place isn't a total meat market, but you sure can learn a lot about how to handle this kind of thing.
Look, if anybody needs to get to know each other before getting stinky it's Sadomasochists. Some people here don't want to admitt it, but people do get hurt doing this shit. It may not look like it, but handcuffs can irreperably seperate wrists, whips can blind, or tear soft flaps of flesh, and the common penus is fully capable of causing life threatening hemorrages.
Even in some of my vanilla outings, the unfoseen happens. Got nails? They can put an eye out. Even stronger backs than Pixie's have been taken to the chiropractor for realignment from regular play. My mother was an ER nurse, and she came home every night with dinner tablke stories that would make you cringe.
These aren't gaspers here, or even BDSMers, just normal people doing grown up things. Sometimes, two bodies collide in a less than gracefull way, and the van shows up with it's lights flashing. Deal with it, or be celibate, but don't deny it. That's a good way to get hurt.
 
lance......

he sure has stired up this forum LOL

I've been abused as a child and adult. was almost raped to. was kinda my fault.. anyway there is a BIG FAT DIFFERENCE!!!!!

I have no desire to be abused.
I've witnessed it wayyyy too much to let it happen to me. which is why I would never date a drunk.
I grew up in foster family. MY health condition was neglected. thats a form of abuse. they thought I was lying I so was not. and when I would cry out of pain or missing my mommy they would tell me to stop acting like a baby. THAT is abuse.

there is no way in hell that I'd go threw that. granted thought Icould see how easily it could cross the line. Line into abuse can easily be crossed. Or let it be crossed if your devoted to someone. You dont see it. Thats a danger of EVERY relationship. Dropping your guard and devoting yourself to loving someone.

if 2 people concent on things?? it is what they want?? how can it be abuse?? you cant really rape the willing.

whatever relationship it is D/s or not.. if the line is not drawn and it becomes abusive. things are done where you REALLY dont wish it. person should leave.
Have pride in yourself and not let yourself be abused.

but see people have the wrong idea about BDSM. I cant judge them its not my place everyone has an opinion. But its very well assumed that its abusive and about beating people up. So not true from what I gather. fartest from the true. and if it gets that way.. the sub should leave because the Dom is not being what a Dom is about but being an abuser. big difference. I sure wont stand for abuse. but soceity has its opinion on alot of things. and people ASSUME..

you shouldnt assume till you have the facts..
 
Just one comment:

There are lots of deep issues around 'consent' 'abuse' etc. There are nuances.

However, I feel a bit uncomfortable debating them in threads which were either designed as wholesale indictments, or as answers to them.

One doesn't need a law, psychology or medical degree to deal with wholesale objections like lancemanyons--probably on biblical grounds-- to a broad range of sexual 'aberrations'.

Iow, as some have said to me in the past, some debate and bashing of heads should be done internally, not for the possible entertainment and misconstrual of relatively simple 'foes' of the whole ball of wax.

Thank you for getting my point. Pure is always trying to make something out of nothing.
 
PsiB, that's a well written little vignette,

Usually, the best time to do this is during the slow spiral inward that is our mating dance. Each finds out what the other likes, and expects sexually. This is not abusive.

Hold their hands, get them used to you being in controll, and talk to them constantly. Bondage is way far off, as is pain, and other "Edge play". PLease them, let them feel loved, and show them that they truly are the center around which the scene revolves. That is not abuse.
Finally, you can work in some pain, and here's where you get to the secret. If you've read this far, I guess you earned it, but here goes. Start softer than soft, build slower than slow. This is what drags scenes out for hours. It's a tantric thing, sustaining arousal through distrtaction, and building endorphins(Chi, whatever) to where pain feels good.
Take my word for it, when your ears are about to burst into flames, and your phallus is bulging out of it's container, the one who's done this too you's teeth feel real good. Start with the pleasure, then add the slightest dose of pain. Just a nip, enough to set off the radar, but not so much as to jam out the pleasure.

It's well stated, yet it's a kind of 'ideal case.' I agree it doesn't sound very abusive, however that term may be defined.

However you clearly minimized pain and bodily effects in saying,
"work in some pain, .. softer than soft."
"add the slightest does of pain"
"Just a nip."

Let's move up the road from this respectful mating dance, and she's going to be 'his,' she's decided, and he's suggested that he brand her buttock. She consents, and since she knows she'll scream and protest when the red hot metal touches her, she agrees to be gagged and tied.**

The iron is heated, to red hot, then held against the screaming flesh for five seconds, as agreed, her body straining at the ropes, her mind exploding. Then it's done and in a couple weeks a more or less permant scar is forming from the welt. She's pleased with it. It says she's his. She begins considering having the other buttock branded in the same way.

**The scene is partly borrowed from a nice little short story, "Branded" by Rebecca Kissel, in _Best Women's Erotica, 2001_ ed. Sheiner. I believe the story description could apply to an actual situation.
