spanking the monkey whilst they read the site.

Just posted this to several Australian Facebook sites as a warning. I am willing to suffer the negative comment if this turns out to be satire

they smack their kids. Might as well smack the little woman around, too. Is that what Jesus was talking about when he said to turn the other cheek?

I still think it's nothing more than a way for certain couples to get their freak on in a jesus-approved way.

Jesus would have used The Belt.

Would have turned the other cheek


Sorry. Couldn't resist.


Edit: Alas, pun already used up thread. Back to bed for me.

"Turning the other cheek" goes completely and totally against all American Conservative values.


I thought CONservatives owned Jesus.

It is all so confusing.

They stole him.

Keeping Jesus chained up in the basement.

And shoes inappropriate for walking

Some say that's where the phrase "rule of thumb" came from.

Just practicing my religion officer.

I don't see how anyone can really criticise these people but defend those who do it for sexual kicks.

Spanking as part of a healthy sex life is really no big deal when both people consent - but don't try to tell me you're doing it for Jesus.

And as such I wish they'd all be more honest about it.

Is it really "healthy" to go even further than normalizing this hierarchical stuff, and actually fetishize and romanticize it?

I don't find that issue so cut and dry.

Lots of kneejerking about this issue, so I'll just spell it out before anyone starts. No, I don't think it should be condemned, or illegal, or stigmatized. But I also don't think it should be considered healthy just because. Nor should it be protected from criticism or questioning.

People love to pretend like sexual stuff is in a special category and has this protected status but IMO that's just ridiculous. We question and criticize people's private actions all the time... although most like to try to dress it up like some choices can be made into a public issue, and therefore sexual stuff is different. I think that's a bunch of pretzel logic and a cop out.

I think that people who engage in alternative sexual practices have always had a huge stigma placed on them.

Until recently, they've been made to go pretty far underground (sometimes literally) to indulge in their activities. I think that folks who practice the lifestyle are pretty normal and well-adjusted people, by and large. Of course there are some who are acting out or working through previous trauma, that much is clear. But I don't have a problem with society in general becoming more accepting of alternative sexual behavior, even traditional male/dom and female/sub.

I personally think that pretty much anything goes when it comes to consenting adults, and even though I can be quite horrified by some of it (such as behaviors involving excrement) I don't judge what others do in their bedrooms.

As in - A2M and A2P are unhealthy. And degrading.

Sure the participant may consent, and even (somehow) enjoy it.

That doesn't mean it isn't an inherent health risk.


As for the kink scene being so put upon and unfairly treated, that is simply not the case anymore, and it hasn't been for a while now.

For many it's like therapy, not just sex. Working out demons I guess. And it's also a counter- culture, so there's usually internal support.

To me, The problem lies in certain people self diagnosing what they need, such as incest or rape survivors. A safe place to act out sexually might help some, but it damages others. I was talking to a friend who left that scene quite a while back. She now works with homeless women and has very little interest in sex. It seemed to do her some good, I suppose-but I didn't see evidence of real healing, judging by our conversations. (She'd been a very young prostitute turned out by her mother--also a prostitute)

What I really don't like is the violent, painful-looking porn that comes with the rise of acceptance, there's very little education at those sites, (although some are much better than others at the "don't try this at home unless you know what you're doing" message) just violent imagery that's worked it's way to public conscience as acceptable violent sex.

And hell yeah, things like the equivalent of a mild to moderate taser to your genitals probably carries a risk, as do some of the more extreme orifice-- stretching. Etc
