Non-SSC experiences?

[miners_girl]

goodness - perhaps we should have a course entitled "Introduction to BDSM", and maybe "BDSM For Advanced Users"...

...imagine the practical exam - LMAO

i read about RACK and SSC when i first read about BDSM just a few months ago, although didn't really understand the differences... Thanks Arria for the very clear explanation!

I'd only heard of S.S.C.- I hadn't realised until I did some research the other day- (after I read this thread) for R.A.C.K. that there was a debate going on the larger BDSM community due to general dissatisfaction with the SSC term. Arria's explanation was certainly the clearest I'd seen- far better than most of the sites I'd looked at.

MMM- pratical exam would be fascinating....guess there'd be an oral section to it too! LOL

thanks so much miners_girl, for sharing this.

it was exactly the kind of thing i wondered about. we hear all sorts of wonderful, sometimes very erotic stories of folks' experiences, but i wondered whether there was a less exposed aspect that we can learn from...

surely expressing regret or discussing negative experiences should not be taboo, especially not here. maybe i'm wrong... but i sometimes wonder if they are felt to be a little taboo, since i don't see much discussion.

I've had a look round and there does seem to be some discussion about how we can be endangered/exploited and to watch out for predators but in the situation I was in- we were both totally at fault and there does seem to be less discussion on that .

Basically what I learnt from it was never ever drink alcohol and then play.

Although in a roundabout way, after several years, and a couple of false starts, it is what brought me to the rather wonderful place I am now.
