Cheers to Joe for this particularly sick link

This is an interview with a man who allowed his partner to.....

Well, if you're actually that interested you can read it yourself. Just don't blame me.

Can I ask why you find that even remotely interesting?

[andrewducker]

Absolutel yno idea, except for my general fascination with the unlikely.

oo, that sounds sore..

heh

Not *this* Joe ... use initials for clarification, please! :)

Personally, I doubt the "interview"'s authenticity, but with something that far out of the mainstream, you're not exactly going to get the participants to come very far out into the light anyway.

AFAIK (I don't feel like reading it again), didn't "allow" his partner to do the ... stuff ... he was forced into it.

I used to seek out some pretty strange things on the net. Galleries of self-mutilation, castration and worse. (Split it, then pierce it to hold it back together again?) I think I may have been trying to convince myself that it was more than okay to be scared of sex because really bad things could happen.

I don't seek those sorts of things out any more, but I have *definitely* seen more than enough pictures of the like.

There are also many people in this world, I beliueve, that would benefit form being locked in a room with a variety of mental health pros like counselors and mediation guides as well as heavy duty psychiatrists and psychologists.

Cheers?

Yes, I think all thinking web surfers have had our Rotten / Stileproject / ConsumptionJuntion / whatever phases.

Okay. That's... bizarre.

I know my feelings would be a lot more visceral if this was a woman talking about how she showed her love for her "owner" by having herself sexually nullified. I am not quite certain why my reaction is not so visceral when it's a man having the same thing done to him (well, that and I am really not convinced that it's for real) but it's not.

Is this the same for you? (If you don't mind me asking, that is.)

I mean, intellectually, if that really happened, I think it's horrifying.

[andrewducker]

Actually I'm more horrified by the general actions of the people and the emotional ties between them than I am by the specific actions.

The links of ownership, destruction and pain that link some people are definitely real and it more horrifies me that some people have relationships where they can make themselves property than that people choose to have bits chopped off (or to chop bits off).

I don't like the idea of relationships with people that aren't at least vaguely my equal - people delighting in belonging and ownership don't belong on the same planet as me.

people delighting in belonging and ownership don't belong on the same planet as me

That's an unusually forceful opinion for you to hold, it seems. Surely if the people involved are consenting freely then there's no problem?

(of course, this doesn't exactly seem to be the case in this article)

[andrewducker]

There's no theoretical problem in some ways (although people who think of people as property are scarily likely to think of _me_ as property if I'm unlucky).

I just don't _want_ to share a planet with them.
