BDSM and/or D/s Urban Legends

[Ebonyfire]

I have been watching The Learning Channel's commercials for this show about urban legends. Of course it got me to thinking about if this lifestyle has any urban legends of it's own.

Do you know any?

If so, post them here.

Do you want to start any? If you can think of one (or more) post them.

Think of it as a public service. This thread is for you.

Guess they forgot a safeword?


From the Los Angeles Times "Only in LA" column:

7 October 1994

Where's Robin when you need him? The story, as we heard it, involves a husband and wife who recently decided to add a little excitement to their sex lives, somewhere north of Ventura Boulevard.

So one night, he tied her to their bed and left the room. Moments later, he barged through the door in a Batman costume, executed some karate kicks and began trampolining on the bed. Alas, he bounced up and hit his head on a ceiling fan. Luckily, the fixture was turned off. But he still managed to render himself unconscious. His wife's screams alerted the neighbors, who called police. They untied her and revived the Conked Crusader, who no doubt wished he could hide in one of the manholes of L.A.

12 October 1994

Maybe it resurfaces every Halloween: Then there was the recent Only in L.A. item about police responding to the screams of a Southland woman found tied to her bed. Her husband, clad in a Batman outfit, was unconscious. It turned out that the couple's try at a bit of kinky sex had come to an end when he conked his head on the ceiling fan.

We heard it from the reliable friend of a reliable friend who had heard it from. . . .

Well, David Mikkelson of the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society informs us that variations of that story can be found in "Baby Train," Jan Harold Brunvand's latest study of urban folk tales.

The Batman version cropped up in St. Louis as early as 1989, Brunvand writes in his book. And he found a version starring Superman in a book published in Merry Olde England in 1986.

"A delightful twist on the story," Brunvand adds, "has the woman rescue herself by dialing 911 with her big toe."

I don't think it's his back that needs protection, Eb.

And here he thought his av would make everyone go blind.

Well, May Day is coming!

One of my first Avs was my ass, you know, the one I am always telling individuals to kiss when I am displeased with them. So, I admire ass pics (for the most part).

not a legend...but did anyone read gerald's game by steven king?

Just thinking of that scares me.

i have read that book and while it scared the heck out of me, it wasn't a deterrent from wanting to be subdued in that way.

i must admit, the whole idea of being handcuffed in a cottage alone after having my Partner die on me is a nightmare. Man what thought ... *shudders*

I started reading it and then skipped to a random part in the book: the part where she gets out of the handcuffs. I was almost nauseus and haven't revisited the novel since.

 

[A-nonimous]

MissT can beat me any time she wants. Oh, sorry. off topic, but still....

I hate and handcuffs and never use them.

Maybe cause my vanillla is a policeman!

 

[Daedalus77]

I read in a "strange news" column about about a man charged with his wife's death after dropping her from a second story window. Hubby claimed they were engaged in bdsm and it was as an accident. The hubby was let go after the paperboy claimed he had seen the wife hung out the window several times.

 

[Vulpesvulpes]

This one is actually true...

or they went a really long way for a not-so-funny bit.

This isn't a FOAF story, I actually heard it myself on the original day it was broadcast. The details may be sketchy but this is how I remember it.

A Memphis morning radio show got a call from a woman who claimed to be handcuffed to her bed. (She had one hand free and was able to dial the telephone.)

She said that her husband/boyfriend had left her there and gone to work. She was going to be late for work herself if she didn't get loose and was apparently hoping he was listening to the radio on his way to work and would hear her pleading. She didn't want to call the police due to embarrasment and she wouldn't give her name (obviously) although she did say that she worked at a bank and her boss would not understand her being late.

Needless to say, the DJ's had a ball with this one! She eventually hung up and the show went on as usual. About an hour later, the DJ's got a call from someone who said they knew the woman in question. Apparently, the bank manager had heard the show, recognized the woman's voice, called her at home and fired her.

The DJ's called her to see if they could verify the story and the woman was crying when she answered the telephone. She said that it was all true. The DJ's asked if there was anything they could do and she yelled that they had done enough already and hung up. They apologized over the radio, sounding really sorry and offered to help in any way they could. They tried to reach the bank manager and he was "unavailable". Nothing more was heard from anyone regarding this incident.

Like I said, I may have the the details mixed up (it happend about 10 years ago) but that is the gist of it.

I bet there is a variation of this story, and the location changes from time to time too.

Anyway, it seems to me it is a good candidate for being an Urban Legend.

Thanks, Vv
