It's funny that you all don't seem to like acronyms. Of course I agree with you in that I don't expect an acronym to fully cover a complex topic or to represent the most important aspects in a few words in a better way than any other acronym could. What I like about acronyms, though, is that they can highlight certain important aspects in a way that is easy to explain especially to people who are new to something. Plus, acronyms are easy to remember which is also great for a newbie. Okay, maybe I also like the playful aspect of creating them. ;-)<br /><br />I think when one is familiar with a topic, though, acronyms indeed don't provide much added value. And of course what one really does when it comes to the practical side of things is what really counts. As Donpascual said, safety precautions when you meet a stranger for the very first time are an important aspect to reduce unnecessary risks in our kinky community.Kaelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108718924415630397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-63979024316560667342016-07-06T17:00:11.383+02:002016-07-06T17:00:11.383+02:00you can use all of these acronyms and propagate th...you can use all of these acronyms and propagate them in forums, chat rooms and blogs,<br />they all do describe common sense.<br />In just one sentence of your post, Kaelah, you mentioned the really important one, the safety call; meeting someone you do not know, is the one and most important risk.<br />I have never stopped to warn people who asked me about risk taking, never ever to meet someone without taking safety precautions.Donpascualnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-60143746046725127042016-07-04T00:21:46.322+02:002016-07-04T00:21:46.322+02:00I had not heard of the RACK acronym before I read ...I had not heard of the RACK acronym before I read the Erica post, but like Simon said I don't think any acronym is more valid that others. For me any group of letters that spell out the ground rules for anyone who is using that definition or action defines the boundaries and thought processes behind their actions. Personally I like RACK but can also see the validity of SSC and Simon's SMACK and I am sure there are many more.<br /><br />Another very thought provoking article.Downunder Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743435411018893484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-64793053097256047492016-07-03T10:51:19.644+02:002016-07-03T10:51:19.644+02:00I'm not keen on acronyms in general and RACK j...I'm not keen on acronyms in general and RACK just seems to be straining for effect. Someone sat down and tried to think of an acronym that had BDSM overtones and goodness knows how long it took them to come up with RACK. How about SMACK (Safe, Mutual And Consensual Kink) and I'm sure your readers can come up with others. As you point out there is an element of risk in almost everything we do in life and we all carry out internal assessments about things whether consciously or sub-consciously. With kinky practices I generally make an assessment based on my health, mood and the person I'm with and decide what to do or have done to me.Simonnoreply@blogger.com
