      Lance's willow | <laffing>
      *Night Spirit* | ok let's begin basically tonight we want to discuss 
                     | what do those words we use
      *Night Spirit* | mean
               Flame | overwhelmed(lol)
           ~wrybrat~ | <smiling at trent>  glad that you found your way..
               trent | hello friends
      *Night Spirit* | is bottom the same as slave, is slave the same as 
                     | sub
            ~daisEy~ | <sitting quietly>
       *mystic rain* | hello trent <s>
      *Night Spirit* | is top the same as Master/Mistress?
       Blazing~Wings | hi trent <s>
       *mystic rain* | <sitting quietly and listening>
      *Night Spirit* | is S&M the same as D/s?
               trent | wings, rain , brat !!!!!!!!!!11
      *Night Spirit* | so let's take one words first
      *Night Spirit* | what is a bottom?
       MoL's Katie J | I'm sitting on mine, NS
       *mystic rain* | <snickering at Katie>
      *Night Spirit* | no not that kind there is a term bottom and top
      *Night Spirit* | what is a bottom how is it different then a 
                     | submissive or a slave?
               Flame | Depends on an indeviduals own defination of the 
                     | word NS
       MoL's Katie J | one can bottom without being submissive, I believe
      *Night Spirit* | ok Flame explain :)
       Blazing~Wings | me too Katie
       *mystic rain* | isn';t it one and the same?
      *Night Spirit* | is it?
       MoL's Katie J | for a particular scene
            ~daisEy~ | isnt slave sometimes used to imply the loss of  a 
                     | safe word?
               Flame | words mean diffrent things to diffrent people
       MoL's Katie J | that's why we have the conference, Flame ....
      *Night Spirit* | so what is a bottom a slave or a submissive?
           ~wrybrat~ | you've been listening to jacqueline too much, dais 
                     | <laffing>
       MoL's Katie J | sometimes we can better define what we believe when 
                     | listening to other
       MoL's Katie J | viewpoints
       Blazing~Wings | I think the bottom is a willing partner to a Top, 
                     | but doesn't have to be
       Blazing~Wings | submissive or slave
           ~wrybrat~ | are you asking questions, NS?
      *Night Spirit* | what makes a person a submissive but not a slave or 
                     | visa versa?
               trent | Marriage was defined in Devils dictionary as Man & 
                     | Woman, two slaves & two
               trent | masters.  In all  two people
      *Night Spirit* | Wings would that be for just a night or long term?
      *Night Spirit* | yes wry I am
            ~daisEy~ | <- doesnt know how one can bottom and not be either 
                     | submissive or slave
               Flame | to be a slave in my book means no free will but a 
                     | submissive chooses to obey
               Flame | therefore keeping free will
       Blazing~Wings | I think it could be either NS, I can be topped, but 
                     | I am not necessarily
       Blazing~Wings | submissive
       *mystic rain* | i agree daisEy
      *Night Spirit* | so we do think there is a difference?
       Blazing~Wings | I think it is a gift of power given to your top 
                     | daisey
            ~daisEy~ | how Wings?
           ~wrybrat~ | submissive: one who surrenders control of her body 
                     | and behavior (within
           ~wrybrat~ | pre-defined limits) during a scene..
           ~wrybrat~ | ^^Screw the Roses.
               Flame | re is a diffrence NS
       GrandPaDeSade | Flame many people are voluntary slaves for the term 
                     | of a scene, and still use
       GrandPaDeSade | safewords.
               HuEur | hi
           ~wrybrat~ | and I don't agree with their definition of slave so 
                     | I'm not sharing it..
            Crickett | <peeks in>
       GrandPaDeSade | Hi HuEur
               Flame | I know that GPDS
      *Night Spirit* | so how is a bottom different from a submissive?
      *Night Spirit* | how is a slave different then a sub--they all do it 
                     | consentual and give control
      *Night Spirit* | to another
           ~wrybrat~ | a bottom isn't necessart involved in submission..
      *Night Spirit* | are they the same or not?
            ~daisEy~ | how wry?
            Crickett | where is Elder? he has a differnce between bottom 
                     | and sub
       MoL's Katie J | to me, submission is not a one night thing .... 
                     | bottoming can be
       *mystic rain* | can you share your feeling NS?
            ~daisEy~ | ahhh<light bulb> thanks KJ
       GrandPaDeSade | That doesn't quite fit the definition you gave does 
                     | it Flame? They have free
       GrandPaDeSade | will, because the chose to only be slaves during 
                     | the scene, and retain
       GrandPaDeSade | safewords.
       *mystic rain* | yes...thank  you Katie
       Blazing~Wings | submission requires a deeper level of commitment 
                     | than just being topped in my
       Blazing~Wings | opinion
           ~wrybrat~ | agreed Kate.
       GrandPaDeSade | These words are VERY hard to pin down
      *Night Spirit* | to me a submissive is more of one who obeys 
                     | commands given, a bottom plays a
      *Night Spirit* | scen with a top, and a slave is totally given to 
                     | the Owner, so do as the owner
      *Night Spirit* | requests and whatever he/she wants to do
       GrandPaDeSade | Because they mean different things to different 
                     | people
      *Night Spirit* | for me I am none
      *Night Spirit* | of those
      *Night Spirit* | I am property
               trent | can one set up one of these relationships by 
                     | contract ??
            ~daisEy~ | maybe it is a persibak preference.... i for one, 
                     | would NOT want Ex to call me
            ~daisEy~ | his slave
               Flame | I agree with that NS
            ~daisEy~ | personal even
      *Night Spirit* | which means I gave my life, soul, body, spirit, 
                     | mind to GrPa
       MoL's Katie J | again, to me, a slave gives up total control, a 
                     | submissive retains control over
       MoL's Katie J | some areas which are negotiated with the 
                     | Master/Mistress
       Blazing~Wings | yes these things can be defined in a contract trent
           ~wrybrat~ | and, imho, slave indicates a deeper level of 
                     | submission.. and yes, perhaps when
           ~wrybrat~ | the relationship is mature you do give up safe 
                     | words.. but only because that
           ~wrybrat~ | trust and knowledge is so deep.. but the surrender 
                     | of them isn't necessary..
           ~wrybrat~ | and I long to be called slave by a real time Master.
      *Night Spirit* | I make no decisions, I have no money I am his to 
                     | use and control as he would
      *Night Spirit* | his car
       GrandPaDeSade | But you still retain freedom in some areas of your 
                     | life NS, such as with your
       GrandPaDeSade | children.
            Crickett | you can do that NS because you  have taken it to 
                     | r/l right.......there are some
            Crickett | here that cant
      *Night Spirit* | I am also a major masochist
            ~daisEy~ | <S> wry wry
               trent | who enforces the contract
      *Night Spirit* | I love pain but I hate kneeling, and kissing feet, 
                     | and obeying this and that
      *Night Spirit* | trent in our case I enforce it because it is my 
                     | choice to give him all
       Blazing~Wings | a contract is essentially an agreement between two 
                     | parties trent they both can
       Blazing~Wings | enforce
       GrandPaDeSade | Flame, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just pointing 
                     | out grey areas.
       *mystic rain* | but you would if that is what GndPa wishes NS?
            Crickett | ooppsss just saw something..hang on
               Flame | I understand that GPDS
      *Night Spirit* | Crickett I made the decision for real life 20 
                     | almost 20 yrs ago
            .Adyummy | .....soooooooooooooo
               Flame | I am thinking on some of the points made
               trent | still freedom of choice and mutual agreement rather 
                     | than court enforceable
      *Night Spirit* | rain GrPa wouldn't do that, he likes a fight <wg> 
                     | he loves to conquer his
      *Night Spirit* | property
       MoL's Katie J | yes, trent
       *mystic rain* | <s>
            crickett | thats wahat i meann<oohh this feels better <s>
       MoL's Katie J | D/s is negotiated between the partners
            ~daisEy~ | <laffin at the thought of standing b4 the judge 
                     | with Ex>
      *Night Spirit* | yes trent I do and live how I want to, trust me NO 
                     | ONE can force me into
      *Night Spirit* | anything
           ~wrybrat~ | and then renegotiated and then renegotiated again 
                     | as the relationship expands
           ~wrybrat~ | and deepens, correct?
      *Night Spirit* | no
       *mystic rain* | no?
       MoL's Katie J | yes, wry .. it is a living thing like any 
                     | relationship.
      *Night Spirit* | with us nothing has changed in 3 yrs
            ~daisEy~ | it is in my case wry
       MoL's Katie J | if your contract does not change, your relationship 
                     | has, yes?
               trent | i see this.... but there are contracts and then 
                     | there are contracts
      *Night Spirit* | I gave him everything to take care of, and he does
            ~daisEy~ | we are always redoing our contract as our 
                     | relationship evolves
       GrandPaDeSade | We have a one paragraph contract which basically 
                     | says whe has only two rights.
       GrandPaDeSade | the right to use a safeword, and the right to leave 
                     | the relationship.
           ~wrybrat~ | <ggl> NS.. you were then as you are today.. 
                     | experienced in the life.. you went
           ~wrybrat~ | full boat.
       GrandPaDeSade | whe=she
            crickett | it depends on what both want daisy....you have to 
                     | keep working at it till it
            crickett | *is* agreeable
            .Adyummy | .....now is the winter of our discontent
      *Night Spirit* | wry it was and is I want more out of life then 
                     | watching my floors dry
           ~wrybrat~ | <ss> as do I, sis..
           ~wrybrat~ | which is the reason that most of us are here, I 
                     | think.
      *Night Spirit* | now a question is there a difference in a Top, 
                     | Master/Mistress, Lord/Lady,
      *Night Spirit* | Owner?
           ~wrybrat~ | same difference, just in the other direction..
               trent | a marriage contract for example changes someone's 
                     | status  but a business
               trent | contract is just about do it or not
      *Night Spirit* | wry with me I think it is I have only maybe 80 yrs 
                     | on earth, I am 41...damn if
      *Night Spirit* | I will be bored for 40 more
       *mystic rain* | my marriage contract did not change my status
            crickett | damn
            ~daisEy~ | for some reason i do not see the same distinctions 
                     | between the words for the Top
            crickett | i cant answer that honestly
            .Adyummy | ...gosh wotz on!!
       Blazing~Wings | how so daisey?
               trent | MR marriage contracts are harder to get out of than 
                     | a business contract
            .Adyummy | ...<whoopzz>
            crickett | for one does at the moment *"own"* me....and it is 
                     | not due to a D/s
            crickett | relationship <sighs>
            ~daisEy~ | i consider Exile to be the Top and my Master and my 
                     | Lord and my owner... but i
            ~daisEy~ | consider myself to be a submissive and not a slave
       *mystic rain* | yes trent....that is why to contemplate them more...
      *Night Spirit* | A top controls a scene or play, a Master/Mistress 
                     | has submission, Owners own
      *Night Spirit* | slaves or property and Lords and Ladys...well to me 
                     | it just sounds cool
            ~daisEy~ | i dont see a difference in the current list
            crickett | then how does he *own* you daisy?
            ~daisEy~ | <giggle> NS
       GrandPaDeSade | We are getting married, but consider the contract 
                     | to be more defining of our
             Hapier2 | hello everyone
       GrandPaDeSade | relationship.
            .Adyummy | ....dammit dairy stay on message!!
       Blazing~Wings | lol NS
            ~daisEy~ | well crick.... he make the decisions
       *mystic rain* | <looks at Adyummy>
            crickett | so?????????
            ~daisEy~ | he has control
       Blazing~Wings | daisy how can you by owned is you are not a slave?
      *Night Spirit* | ok is there a difference in Master/Mistress and 
                     | Sadist?
            crickett | does that quafy as ownership?
            ~daisEy~ | <thinking> Wingas
            ~daisEy~ | Wings even
            .Adyummy | ...bw....wanker
       Blazing~Wings | <s>
               Flame | I would have to say there is NS
       Blazing~Wings | me too
            ~daisEy~ | i think that for us i see it that way partly 
                     | because of the language we use
            ~daisEy~ | when we scene
      *Night Spirit* | ok Flame tell me how?
               Flame | A sadist enjoys enflicting pain
      *Night Spirit* | Adyummy please do not interrrupt and stick to the 
                     | topic, which is NOT to insult
      *Night Spirit* | others
               Flame | a Master/Mistress enflicts pain to give pleasure
       MoL's Katie J | I got him in sends, NS
      *Night Spirit* | thanks sweety
       MoL's Katie J | when i'm quiet, you know what I'm doing <G>
           ~wrybrat~ | not necessarily, Flame.
               Flame | a concept which a sadist would not entertain as 
                     | pain is the only motivation
       Blazing~Wings | I think a sadist sees objects, whereas 
                     | Master/Mistress sees a partner
            ~daisEy~ | A Master can enjoy it as well
           ~wrybrat~ | you don't think that a Master/Mistress can also be 
                     | a sadist?
            .Adyummy | ......humbles meself ns.......... u soooo wight!!!
       MoL's Katie J | depends on the scene .. and the partners

       GrandPaDeSade | Yes

       *mystic rain* | hugggs Joy & Larry
       Blazing~Wings | hi Joy & Larry <hugs>
               Flame | If a master mistress is only a sadist then the  
                     | relationship would be a strange
               Flame | one
             suchana | ( evening everyone )  hugggs
      *Night Spirit* | is a Master/Mistress and a Sadist the same or 
                     | different--if so how?
       *mystic rain* | agrees with daisEy ...<click>
       GrandPaDeSade | A sadist can inflice physical or mental pain first 
                     | of all.
       *mystic rain* | hugggs suchie <s>
         JOY & Larry | what is the topic?
       MoL's Katie J | a sadist enjoys inflicting pain
       Blazing~Wings | hi suchie <s>
           ~wrybrat~ | a Master or Mistress isn't necessarily a sadist 
                     | <imho>
      *Night Spirit* | topic is we are gonna try to define the words we use
       *mystic rain* | does he not *need* to inflict pain?
       GrandPaDeSade | And As a practicing sadist I would disagree that is 
                     | not my only motivation.
                Lynn | <peeks in sorry I'm late>
         JOY & Larry | <<Lynn>.
       *mystic rain* | hugggs Lynn
       Blazing~Wings | hi Lynn <hug>
              ~rose~ | <Lynn>
       GrandPaDeSade | I would say one can be both, and they MAY be 
                     | different
      *Night Spirit* | GrandPa do you need to inflict pain?
            .Adyummy | ..not good enough lynnnnnnne!!
               trent | the most sadistic thing a sadist can do is deny a 
                     | masochist a beating
               trent | hi lynn
         JOY & Larry | good point trent

       GrandPaDeSade | Do I need too, No. Does it give me pleasure to do 
                     | so, yes.
            crickett | smooochies Lynn
      *Night Spirit* | is it trent I always thought maybe was worse then no
       GrandPaDeSade | Agree trent
                Lynn | <S> @ Crick
      *Night Spirit* | GrandPa do you think of yourself as a Master? or a 
                     | Sadist? or both?
            .Adyummy | ....booooooooooooooooored goin!!
            crickett | thanks Lynn atleast someone is
       GrandPaDeSade | Both
               trent | maybe is valid, always leave doubt
                Lynn | hugs crickie <tryin to be quiet>
       *mystic rain* | then what is the difference GdPa?
       MoL's Katie J | how about the combo special?  a Sadist Master?
      *Night Spirit* | or a Master Sadist?
       MoL's Katie J | a Dominant need not be a Sadist
            ~daisEy~ | i agree with that
                Lynn | my Dominant is not a sadist
               Flame | <---agrees
      *Night Spirit* | Katie I agree--now is a Dominant same as a 
                     | Master/Mistress?
       GrandPaDeSade | As a master I control NS. I tell her waht to dio 
                     | etc.
       Blazing~Wings | but is a sadist always Dominant?
           ~wrybrat~ | yes, NS
       MoL's Katie J | I would say so, yes
         JOY & Larry | maybe each BDSM relationship is unique,like 
                     | snowflakes and fingerprints, and
         JOY & Larry | you cant really be so specific with terminology to 
                     | define each exactly?
            ~daisEy~ | yes
               Flame | Yet funnily enough I do get extreme pleasure from 
                     | inflicting pain
               trent | What about symbolism? how does one signal intent 
                     | and status?
             suchana | ?    i am a switch ... ( i am also a  Sadist and a 
                     | Masochist ) sooooo .. what
             suchana | am i  ?>
       GrandPaDeSade | As a sadist, the things I do revolve around pain 
                     | MOST of the time. Either
       GrandPaDeSade | mental on physical.
               Flame | but only because I know the pleasure my sub is 
                     | getting from it
      *Night Spirit* | trent good question do you have a answer?
       MoL's Katie J | online, a Capital usually denotes a Dominant, and 
                     | lower case, a submissive <s>
      *Night Spirit* | suchy you are a Sadomasochist like me
           ~wrybrat~ | all sorts of goodies, suchie <g>
               trent | enlighten me please
             suchana | ahhh ( i am a word ! )
                Lynn | <-----capital but submissive
      *Night Spirit* | but Katie I refuse to use lower case I am what I am 
                     | Night Spirit
       GrandPaDeSade | When I punish her as a master, I don't get any 
                     | pleasure out of it, and that
       GrandPaDeSade | means she doesn't wither because she knows I'm 
                     | unhappy.
       MoL's Katie J | I said .. usually.
         JOY & Larry | <was always caps even when i was sub online
       MoL's Katie J | I also use Caps
                Lynn | <s> <smooches Kate>
             suchana | so am i Dommissive Sadomasochist .. or a subdomme 
                     | Sadomasochist ?
       GrandPaDeSade | wither=either
               Flame | I was always a Dom untill I met and married hubby 
                     | who is sub but now I get sub
               Flame | tendancies so what am I?
       MoL's Katie J | but there are some Dominants who have taken me to 
                     | task for same.
           ~wrybrat~ | switch, Flame?
                Lynn | me too, Katie
               trent | Normal  flame
              gyrine | good evening
            ~daisEy~ | normal?
       GrandPaDeSade | switch sadomasochist suchy
         JOY & Larry | hello gyrine
             suchana | Thank you GrPa MS<
              gyrine | what's going on in here?
      *Night Spirit* | I always say I am a female born, bi-sexual, 
                     | sadomasochist, which means I enjoy
      *Night Spirit* | the physical and psychology of pain
            ~daisEy~ | thats a mouth full NS<S>
      *Night Spirit* | sadomasochistic switch sorry missed a word there
       *mystic rain* | brb
      *Night Spirit* | ok now what is the differences between B&D, S&M and 
                     | D/s?
               Flame | I have never had sub tendancies before him and 
                     | could not imagine having em with
               Flame | anyone else
               Flame | yet he cannot Dom me
       Blazing~Wings | but can he top you?
         JOY & Larry | <S> wings
               Flame | It can get frustrateing(lol)
      *Night Spirit* | you are a Dominant you bottoms to only one
         JOY & Larry | yes what about the terms "top" and "bottom"?
       MoL's Katie J | I would think it's natural to want to take a wald 
                     | on the other side.
       GrandPaDeSade | That's not an unusual problem flame
       Blazing~Wings | that's why I think you can be bottom with being sub
               trent | cul  friends
       *mystic rain* | understand Flame...i am sub....and so is 
                     | hubby...sort of....
       Blazing~Wings | without
      *Night Spirit* | ok..so what is B&D?
      *Night Spirit* | what is S&M
               Flame | I think it is because he is the only man I have 
                     | ever truelly trusted?
      *Night Spirit* | what is D/s
                Lynn | it's wonderful <s>
           ~wrybrat~ | lovely, NS?  <ggl>
                Lynn | <chuckles>
       GrandPaDeSade | Many times people get together and then figure out 
                     | that they are both suub, or
       GrandPaDeSade | both dom.
       Blazing~Wings | that could be why Flame
            ~daisEy~ | D/s can exist without the BDSM
      *Night Spirit* | trust makes D/s go around
       GrandPaDeSade | Yes Flame, that sounds reasonable.
      *Night Spirit* | ok daisEy how?
            ~daisEy~ | mentallly
            ~daisEy~ | n o need to whip  to Dominate
                Lynn | my marriage is D/s
                Lynn | with no BDSM
           ~wrybrat~ | cerebral D/s
         JOY & Larry | B&D=like being tied up and told what to do, 
                     | S&M=like giving or
               Flame | and because I do trust him the deeper levels of my 
                     | personality have begun to
         JOY & Larry | receiveingpain,D/S like exchangeof power /contol
               Flame | emerge I no longer need to be in total contoll all 
                     | the time
      *Night Spirit* | ok Larry and Joy is it possible to have all 3 in a 
                     | relationship?
            ~daisEy~ | yes
      *Night Spirit* | or can you have just one?
           ~wrybrat~ | mind control.. in my cyber relationship the only 
                     | punishment is pleasure..
      *Night Spirit* | are Master/Mistress and submissive only D/s?
      *Night Spirit* | is Sadist and masochist only in S&M?
                Lynn | no
            ~daisEy~ | no
         JOY & Larry | yes noone sadi anything about our comment above,. 
                     | each relationship is unique
         JOY & Larry | the terminology only helps to describe what is 
                     | going on.cant describe exactly
         JOY & Larry | for everyone
      *Night Spirit* | is punishment to be for punishment sake or 
                     | pleasure's sake?
       *mystic rain* | <quietly gets up>....sorry...i have to leave.....
       MoL's Katie J | my first real love enjoyed Bondage, but that was 
                     | the only element involved.
         JOY & Larry | bye rain<hug>
            ~daisEy~ | that depends on the bottom NS
       Blazing~Wings | bye mystic <hug>
               Flame | hugs mystic
      *Night Spirit* | ok rain sweety--Night
       *mystic rain* | <waves goodnight...sorry to miss this>
            ~daisEy~ | we do not use *punishment* as punishment because it 
                     | IS pleasure to me
      *Night Spirit* | so daisEy your question would be how do you punish 
                     | a masochist?
            crickett | oohh good daisy , please
            ~daisEy~ | in order to punish me
            crickett | i am sorry
            crickett | that wasnt fair
            ~daisEy~ | he must take away something else
            crickett | so you get off on having something taken away?
            ~daisEy~ | (and i am a masochist)<S>
               Flame | It is very difficult to work that one out NS
            ~daisEy~ | noo crick... that is why it IS punishment
      *Night Spirit* | but if Master/Mistress is displeased and wants to 
                     | punish you do you find
      *Night Spirit* | pleasure still even though the Dominant is unhappy?
       MoL's Katie J | the point of punishment is to punish .. not reward
       GrandPaDeSade | I punish NS by doing the same things she likes. 
                     | But, because she knows she has
       GrandPaDeSade | displeased me, and I am getting no pleasure out of 
                     | it, she can't enjoy it
       GrandPaDeSade | either.
            crickett | no it isnt daisy...it is stupid
            crickett | there is a differsnce
            crickett | one you want so you do
            crickett | one you dont like
            crickett | so you dont
            ~daisEy~ | no i do not find pleasurein the decided punishment, 
                     | NS
      *Night Spirit* | GrPa and my goals are mutual pleasure, if I hurt 
                     | him, he is upset and I am
      *Night Spirit* | punished, it hurts, no pleasure and I ask his 
                     | forgivness
       GrandPaDeSade | Once I was so mad, i simply walked away and didn't 
                     | do anything. That really got
       GrandPaDeSade | to her.
               Flame | Thinking on GPDS's comment
            ~daisEy~ | that would make me crazy too G'Pa
         JOY & Larry | <JOY> when i am domme and punish there are only 2 
                     | reasons for it
         JOY & Larry | 1. the sub is messing up
         JOY & Larry | 2.because i want to ..(meaning i think they want it
         JOY & Larry | totally different
         JOY & Larry | reasons one is not for pleasure and one is
       Pepper þ----- | I find pleasure in giving the punishment....if my   
                     | partner likes it ... !
            ~daisEy~ | for me, the worst is when Ex raises his 
                     | voice,shudder>
            crickett | so elts see daisy if on line he never spaekks to 
                     | you , you will like as you are
            crickett | into S&M right?
            crickett | damn typos sorry
         JOY & Larry | me too
      *Night Spirit* | but Pepper is that really punishment or just 
                     | pleasure?
         JOY & Larry | typo
                Lynn | <back :(
       GrandPaDeSade | Yes daisey, you know you have upset him, right?
       Pepper þ----- | its the p^leasure of giving punishment...
            crickett | and i am not picking on you i swear
               Flame | I think there is a very thin line here
            ~daisEy~ | yes G'Pa...<noddong> he is sooo oquiet normally... 
                     | and if he shouts... i know
            ~daisEy~ | he is upset
       Pepper þ----- | so its pleasure.... !
      *Night Spirit* | Pepper with us, if the Owner is upset with me and 
                     | seeks to punish me, how can
      *Night Spirit* | either have pleasure?
               Flame | I can see the logic in what u say GPDS
       GrandPaDeSade | Flame, most of what we do is bordered by very thin 
                     | lines.
            ~daisEy~ | and no crick....the masochist inme likes the 
                     | physical pain
      *Night Spirit* | is punishment only to be used to punish for bad 
                     | behaviour OR is is also for
      *Night Spirit* | pleasure sake thus does it lose it's reason?
       MoL's Katie J | there's play punishment .. and real punishment
       MoL's Katie J | IMHO< of course
            ~daisEy~ | punishment for pleasure isnt punishment<G>
       GrandPaDeSade | That's why it's so easy to accidently cross those 
                     | thin lines.
      *Night Spirit* | aha...Katie that is a very good point :)
            ~daisEy~ | thats true too KJ
       Pepper þ----- | except if you get pleasure of it daisyey !!!
              Milady | Hi, what's the topic this evening?
            ~daisEy~ | i would prefer tocall it playtime Pepper<S>
      *Night Spirit* | but Pepper can you get pleasure if the 
                     | Master/Mistress is upset or angery?
       GrandPaDeSade | There is pain for pleasure, pain for punishment, 
                     | and other (generally more
       GrandPaDeSade | serious) punishments.
               Flame | My hubby and I do not use controll words I know 
                     | when to stop so I never cross
               Flame | the line we I am in tune to him I often think that 
                     | he is afraid he would cross
               Flame | the line where he to dom me
       Pepper þ----- | no it has to be an agreed game and getting upset is 
                     | out of the game ... !
            ~daisEy~ | <thinkin that if he did whip me when he was angry i 
                     | wouldnt like it>
               Flame | As I have a very high pain threshhold
       GrandPaDeSade | Flame, it may take practice in a controled 
                     | situation for him to feel any
       GrandPaDeSade | confidence.
      *Night Spirit* | ok so we do agree it depends on the intent of the 
                     | punishment weather it is real
      *Night Spirit* | or play
         Aria (busy) | <slipping in quietly>
            ~daisEy~ | yes
             suchana | When i am being  * punished * it can be many 
                     | different ways ..  BUT .,. if  the
             suchana | punishment is physical ( like a spanking )  then 
                     | Beorn whispers in my ear .. "
             suchana | suchana THIS is for Punishment .. YOU WILL NOT 
                     | enjoy this .. Do you understand
             suchana | me ? * /.. . and they are whacks .. not nice .. not 
                     | pleasureable .. they hurt
             suchana | worse than FUK .. and .. * IF *  i get wet ( god

               Flame | <sad smile> He will not try and somtimes it buggs me
       GrandPaDeSade | That's a very good example suchy.
         Aria (busy) | Sounds like I missed a good CO
            ~daisEy~ | Kiss kiss Aria<S>
       GrandPaDeSade | The only things I can think of to help Flame, I 
                     | don't think eather of you would
       GrandPaDeSade | like.
         Aria (busy) | I take it you were talking about punishments?
             suchana | AND .. we ahve one specific paddle that i CAN NOT 
                     | stand to even LOOK at .. it
             suchana | is heavy and thicjk and has holes in it .. and i 
                     | KNOW when he brings that out
             suchana | .. that i am doomed .. i know he means business .( 
                     | and i no there is no way in
             suchana | hell i am going to get wet )
               Flame | what is that GPDS
       GrandPaDeSade | Has he read Screw the Roses, send Me the throns or 
                     | SM: 191?
      *Night Spirit* | no Aria words
            ~daisEy~ | <S> suchie
               Flame | No
       GrandPaDeSade | Taking him to a commercial dungeon where someone 
                     | could tutor him on you.
         Aria (busy) | specifically now... you were talking about how the 
                     | effect is different when the
         Aria (busy) | words are spoken that the action is a punishment?
      *Night Spirit* | ok can a Dominant bottom? can a slave top?
       GrandPaDeSade | Those books may help him also.
             suchana | Hugggs  Aria dalring .. we are discussingf 
                     | Terminology
         Aria (busy) | yes I know that <g>
             suchana | Oh ..
               Flame | thanks will give it some thought GPDS
         Aria (busy) | I was trying to catch the thread of what I was 
                     | hearing when I came in...
      *Night Spirit* | do words really have a defination in our lifestyle?
       GrandPaDeSade | And it's SM: 101, not 191
            ~daisEy~ | no, they are different to each of us
             suchana | ( oh ) <s>
       MoL's Katie J | we went off on the term *punishment* Aria
         Aria (busy) | <nod>
       MoL's Katie J | so, talking about that at preset .. started with 
                     | talk of Sadism/masochism
      *Night Spirit* | are we B&D, D/s, S&M, BDSM, are we sadists, tops, 
                     | Master/Mistress/ slaves,
      *Night Spirit* | subs, bottoms, property, toys, pets?  What are we?
            ~daisEy~ | all of the above<G>
         Aria (busy) | (giggling) umm
              Milady | Must punishment always be physical or can it be 
                     | verbal only?
       GrandPaDeSade | Brb
      *Night Spirit* | oh yes Milady it sure can be
       MoL's Katie J | Milady, to me, the verbal is the worst.
         Aria (busy) | well thats kind of broad for a one hour CO, yes?
             suchana | * WE *  are a  fun lkittle group that is definatley 
                     | in search of lifes finer
             suchana | darker  areas <S. * WE * are unique
            ~daisEy~ | (with a lil bit of dumpling thrown in)
               Flame | verbal is good it plands pictures in the mind mind 
                     | torture is exquisit(s)
      *Night Spirit* | Owner saying, I am disappointed in you, I am not 
                     | happy, is worse then any
      *Night Spirit* | paddling --I do not wish to upset him
      *Night Spirit* | suchy is D/s on the *dark* side of life?
         Aria (busy) | In reply to your question, can Dominants bottom, 
                     | and can submissives/slaves
         Aria (busy) | bottom, I would have to say that yes they can, but 
                     | that sort of makes them eh
         Aria (busy) | <g> switchs, yes?
       MoL's Katie J | I dont' know, Aria .. I have had my moments when 
                     | I've topped .. but I wouldn't
       MoL's Katie J | call myself a switch
      *Night Spirit* | Aria does it, or can a switch switch with anyone, I 
                     | only submit to GrPa but I
      *Night Spirit* | will domme anyone male or female--am I a switch?
         Aria (busy) | I feel, and maybe this is just me... that its a 
                     | mental phaze we go through, a
         Aria (busy) | mind set and for some it is fluid... and for others 
                     | it is semi-permanent
      *Night Spirit* | we all use these words, but do we really have 
                     | meanings for them?
             suchana | NS .. i believe that D/s is more common than Apple 
                     | pie middle america would
             suchana | like to acknowledge, or admit .. so i think that 
                     | until  .. ( some ) parts of
             suchana | society see it as an acceptable ? ?? ( perhapos 
                     | moral )  form of sexual
             suchana | exopression, need and desire, than in a way, it is 
                     | indeed a * dark * side .
       GrandPaDeSade | Back
         Aria (busy) | For me... I think that if you are a true switch, 
                     | which I term myself, you can
         Aria (busy) | switch with anyone... some people you are naturally 
                     | submissive to, others you
         Aria (busy) | are naturally dominant to... I don't find for 
                     | myself at least that you can
         Aria (busy) | switch back and forth easily with the same person
      *Night Spirit* | ok let me ask you this, let's say I had a vanilla 
                     | marriage, and once in a great
      *Night Spirit* | while he spanks me when he comes--is that D?s?
            ~daisEy~ | mild B&D
         Aria (busy) | no
         Aria (busy) | <g>
         Aria (busy) | thats erotic foreplay
            ~daisEy~ | so, no
             suchana | I believe that it is * to a mild extent * yes .,
      *Night Spirit* | ok during sex the man holds down the wrists of his 
                     | female partner, is that D?s?
      *Night Spirit* | D/s?
             suchana | same answer as above
         Aria (busy) | (grinning still) nope but getting closer to the line
            ~daisEy~ | <doesnt think of any of that as D/s...B&D yes>
       GrandPaDeSade | How about if he holds your hands down during sex, 
                     | or is a little rough?
      *Night Spirit* | where do you draw the line, if you call someone 
                     | Master or Mistress, willing to
      *Night Spirit* | kneel, or just get a lite spanking now and then
            ~daisEy~ | <giggling at Aria's grin>
      *Night Spirit* | GrPa GMTA
         Aria (busy) | My reply is really really long
               Flame | I would have to say playing sex games to that one 
                     | not true D/S
             suchana | i believe that is a * mild * form of D/s .
       GrandPaDeSade | How about someone who demands the wife's complete 
                     | and unquestioning obedience
       GrandPaDeSade | at home?
      *Night Spirit* | where is the line when are we vanilla and when and 
                     | where did we cross that line
         Aria (busy) | and we don't ahve time for this... as this is the 
                     | very subject that my book is
         Aria (busy) | aimed at... the break down of submissive mindset
            ~daisEy~ | <in line to buy Arias book><S>
               Flame | that is D/s
         Aria (busy) | Then you have crossed the line GPDS
            ~daisEy~ | i think that is D/s G'pa
             suchana | Doesnt matter if i chop down a bush or the tree in 
                     | the back yard .. i still
             suchana | used a chain saw to do it
         Aria (busy) | they may not admit it... but it is
       MoL's Katie J | NS >> check your sends, please?
       GrandPaDeSade | Let us know when it's published Aria
      *Night Spirit* | ok last one...how is it D/s compared to abuse what 
                     | is the difference?
            ~daisEy~ | willingness to participate
             suchana | HOLY HELL NS >. do you have about 6 hours for me to 
                     | answer THAT ?
            ~daisEy~ | consent
               Flame | abuse is without consent if u consent to abuse it 
                     | is no longer abuse
       GrandPaDeSade | Actually, that situation depends on the woman to 
                     | me. If she does it because she
       GrandPaDeSade | wants to, then I agree, otherwise it's more abusive.
            ~daisEy~ | 6 hours?<checking clock>
         Aria (busy) | Intent and consent, emotional impact and 
                     | repercussions
           *Spartan* | Whadimiss..<best ny

       GrandPaDeSade | The courts say you can't consent to D/s or BDSM 
                     | because that IS consenting to
       GrandPaDeSade | abuse.

                     | the most part .. i wont say
             suchana | some women like to be abused ) or men for that

       GrandPaDeSade | You brought it up NS when you said you can't 
                     | consent to abuse.
