There’s a class of people who see every activity as a competitive event. There’s a right way and a wrong way, and they’ll be very happy to loudly tell everyone which is which. These people are annoying. There’s a further sub-class of them who insist that only the simplest most straightforward things can be right. Dinner should be steak, drinks should be beer or unadulterated spirits and sex should be good old PIV fucking. Anyone making life more complicated than this is pretentious, weird and fussy. I find these people incredibly annoying.
Variety in life is a wonderful thing. Both simple and fancy have their place. I personally hate discovering that I don’t like something. I feel like I’m missing out on a pleasure others get to enjoy. Anytime I see some incredibly elaborate kinky set-up I don’t think ‘Wow, that’s so unnecessary.’ I think ‘Fuck yeah! Go for it.’ I’m always happy to see someone doing something above and beyond, even when it’s not my personal kink.
Take for example this article in Serious Bondage and the scene in the image below. This has Mumman trapped in a small cell set into a deck, wearing a leather armbinder, a chastity device and a tight gasmask. Mme Suzanne is blowing smoke into the breathing tube and pulling the string attached to the chastity device. That’s not a set-up that I’d personally enjoy or want to try, but I love the fact there are people passionate enough to set these kind of scenes up. Sex is a hugely important part of life, yet as a culture we often seem to frown on people who invest major effort and time into their fantasies. We should be celebrating their effort and inventiveness.
YES! What is with the negativity some people–even kinky people–display towards “weird” fantasies they don’t understand?
I LOVE IT when a man comes into my commercial dungeon with something really wacky (and I say wacky in an affectionate way). I think it’s awesome!
I concur completely with your argument here, paltego. And the photo is great. Cheers.
I suspect it probably comes from both our tribal nature and our competitive nature. It’s almost a type of bullying, which is tied to insecurity. I also think that everyone suffers from it to an extent. The key is do you spot it for the problem it is or play up to it and act like it’s a positive quality.
I love reading about unusual kinky interests or experiences people have, but I’m sure in my youth I’d have been a dick about them.
Glad you enjoyed the photo (thanks SB!) And as always, thanks for dropping by to comment.
