In another thread people were discussing limits of a submissive, and how to change them. The point of SSC was brought up. I thought it would be interesting to begin a thread to this effect.

I believe SSC has its place, and when talking with a submissive you do not know, that being know her physical limits or her pain tollerances, it is best to practice SSC to avoid any unintentional harm. I say unintentional because smaking somones butt with a flogger still hurts, but it was wanted.

So onto SSC vs. RACK.

I read an article written by a fellow BDSM lifestyler who wrote a very good article on SSC and RACK and how the BDSM community seems to me, and to this fellow to over emphasise SSC.

See each persons limits and what they believe to be safe varies as much as do the places in what they each of us finds appealing. So who is to say what is SSC? That I feel is strickly between the two people who are going to enjoy whatever activity they want. If a submissive can convince me that is Sane and Safe to wrap her breasts in rope till they turn purple, and I am willing to do that to her. That is SSC. To a person that sees the discolored nature of the breasts, they may find this very unsafe. We all know that done correctly this is certanly ok to do. So now that brings us to RACK. What is RACK, well it is defined as Risk Aware Consensual Kink. So if I am aware of the risks of putting a womans breasts into bondage till they turn purple, and she wants it. Isn't this also RACK?

Feel free to use other fine examples of SSC vs. RACK.

If people want I can give you the weblink to the article, but since I don't know who they link to I won't post it here.
