lifestyle observations 3 - being risk aware.

Recently I offered some advice on needle play and flogging in another message board that I'm on. A considered number of folk picked on the fact that flogging with needles in situ was something they felt was too risky*. I think everyone has their different ideas of what is safe or what is risky... just like how some people would think bungee jumping is insane; and how other people think it's safer than crossing the road. One thing I really hate is scaremongering and it seems to happen a lot in BDSM. I think sometimes risk evaluation is blown way out of proportion - a bit like how some of the things you were able to do as children is nigh impossible to do today due to health and safety issues. It frustrates me; this cosseted approach to being "sexually adventurous". I think it is one thing if you are the voice of experience of misadventure - and quite another when you put two and two together to make six hundred and eighty. At the same time, I'm not belittling the idea of safe practice or risk assesment. I just think that people sometimes forget that there are risks involved in every-day living. Sometimes I want to ask these well meaning advisors if they suck their accidental paper cuts, and if so - I want to ask why they don't consider that as being risky - in fact more so than quite a few supposedly unsafe S/m blood play practices... *Too risky because there was a chance the needle might break from the flogging - ack, now to me that is such a remote possibility and if you are flogging hard enough to shatter needles embeded in your skin, the needle shattering bit is the LAST of your worries!

It only takes reading a post like this to understand why some of us enjoy BDSM way more than others. But then again, complaining may be their kink and they may get off on complaining play the same way we get off on invasive needle play. So I suppose to be completely tolerant in the lifestyle, we have to be tolerant of those fucking idiots who are into complaining play. All I know is it's not my kink, when I complain about those into complaining play it has the same sexual effect on me as skinny dipping in ice water. So I guess what I'm saying is to be tolerant of complaining play, ignore the fucking idiots, stick needles into whoever you please, then flog the crap out of them, and have yourself a grand ole time in the process!

It's all relative. If you're doing something beyond what I'm comfortable with, then you are crazy and must be stopped before you kill someone! Wrap yourself in bubble wrap and sit in the bathtub. Then you'll be safe.  ~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Did you scare the lil sheep? In the UK 15 people die, getting out of bed every year! Being electrocuted by there alarm clocks, or braking there lil necks and the like... What do they want to be..? Safe?  Where's the fun in that? Don't they have places like Alton Towers for "cheep" thrills?
