I am a woman, a feminist, an active member of the BDSM community, and a submissive (Yes, seems like a bunch of contradictions, and it's a long story, and one for another series of posts, I am sure.).

For many a submissive, part of the experience is serving someone else; giving them something that they need or want. This is a big part of role playing. That is why some grown women will go along with some pretty far-fetched or silly stuff when role playing. It is about providing someone else with an experience or fantasy, being needed by that person. The men I've asked about it say pretending to be with someone younger helps them pretend to be young and less jaded. However, bare in mind, in BDSM, the dominant only appears to have the power. It is the subs who control the scene: they start it, declare when it will end, and decide what will and will not happen.

Where it crosses the line is where it involves people who cannot consent, or who flat out would not be acting the part but who actually ARE innocents. Then it becomes about power, abuse, rape. I have no patience with such criminals.

Hope that helped. Now, I will wait and see how long it will take for this post to be hidden.

More than enough have told. Many are simply not believed. redqueen Dec 2012 #2
