Thank you very much for your thoughtful c...@ Simon:<br />Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment! While I am in favour of assisted suicide under certain circumstances I agree with you that this is a very complex and delicate issue that carries risks and has to be handled with care. I think you are absolutely right with what you said about the topics of risk assessment, different motivations and trust in BDSM play.Kaelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108718924415630397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-73613716120623405852014-07-01T21:20:40.685+02:002014-07-01T21:20:40.685+02:00Another thought provoking post. I have a couple of...Another thought provoking post. I have a couple of things I wanted to say about it.<br />1. Assisted Suicide: I'm opposed to the legalisation of assisted suicide. It's a thorny issue and I do understand why some people support it but to me it's a step in the wrong direction and could lead to some terrible incidents. I could go into more detail but I don't think this is the place for that discussion.<br />2: You are quite correct to say that many activities apart from BDSM carry risks and many of these are entered into voluntarily in the pursuit of enjoyment. For example Horse Riding is a leisure activity carried out by thousands of people young and old but is one of the major causes of death and injury everywhere it is carried out. My point is that in this and other activities a risk assessment is done either consciously or unconsciously and the participant decides that the pleasure outweighs the risk. This is certainly the case with my enjoyment of quite serious BDSM activities. I know there are dangers but the pleasure I have outweighs the possible dangers. I used to be a rock climber but as I got older the risks started to outweigh the pleasure so with some regret I gave up. It is possible that at some point in the future I will carry out a similar calculation with regards to BDSM.<br />3: In most BDSM scenarios I think it is important that both the Top and Bottom are enjoying it or will enjoy it at some point and that both are aware of the needs of the other. This is not always straightforward. As I have previously mentioned I have been branded by my Mistress. The anticipation was exciting and pleasurable but when the hot iron near my skin what I mostly felt was terror and when it touched me mostly just pain. However afterwards I felt happy and satisfied and in a strange way proud.I Think my Mistress enjoyed it too, not so much from the application of so much pain but from the feeling of control. My point is that what motivates any of us is not always easy to work out and that is why any form of serious BDSM should only take place between people who trust each other.<br />Sorry about the length of this but I couldn't say it in any shorter form.Simonnoreply@blogger.com
