Stretching the Limits of Acceptance

Stretching the Limits of Acceptance


In the last two years, I have spent time on FetLife. I have learned a great deal about the range of ways in which people express their sexuality. I am very thankful to the many people there who have openly shared what they what they do and what they experience and what they feel. I value FetLife, despite the crudeness and the crassness of many of the men there and the vulgarity of some of the women. What I have learned there has been me going back to it, much more than the silliness crass commercializes and social stereotyped limits of books like the "Fifty Shades of Grey" novels.

During my time on Fet Life, I have deeply come to appreciate and to feel what it means to say:

"My kink is not your kink,
but I can accept your need to express yourself in this way sexually,
as long as it is sane, safe and consensual."

During my time there, I thought I was a tolerant kind of guy, who could accept anything that two adults could do within this framework.

But then one of the men, who I had been following for years,
who described himself as a sadist
tipped me over the edge.

I had always thought that
he and his companion
were kind of extreme,
but as long as it
was clear that
what they did was consensual,
it was ok with me,
even I knew that
there was no way that
I was willing to do to another
what he did to her.

Then he posted a picture
of having stapled her labia
and I lost my tolerance.

Then there was a women
with who I became friends.
Her writing about what she
was experiencing, the feelings
was so exquisite and insight
that I deeply appreciated
both her craft and her sharing
as she expressed
what she was thinking and feeling
and the thoughts
she was having
as she experimented
around kink exchange
with a new partner

she taught me much
about what it was to be
another person whose
experience of life and
sexual exchange
involved the extremes of pain
and was was so different
from my own.

Then they began
to explore a kind
of physical exchange
which left her with
what will be
permanent scaring
and I felt repulsed
rather than intrigued.

It is several weeks later now,
and I have not been
back to FetLife
in the meantime,
as I have been thinking about
these people's experiences
off and on as I write erotica
I have come to the realization
that there are limits to my tolerance
and I am glad that there are.

Contacted kink exchange
is all about sensuality to me
about the intensifying of pleasure
my own pain / pleasure boundary
is often confused enough
especially when the hormones get flowing
that I am prepared to negotiate
a lot of different kinds
of behavioral exchange
that I am prepared
to top and to bottom
in ways that go beyond
vanilla sexual interaction.

But I now know that
there are certain things
that I just will not do
even if they are things
that my partner wants
to have done to her.

Mark permanently ...
Cut the skin to cause blood to flood
Deal with scat or urine
Role play in ways that involve animal roles
Engage in daddy / baby girl exchanges
Live out master / slave permanent arrangements

Sane and Safe and Consensual
is a two way street
it means that what we do
has to be so for me
as well as you,
and much as I am
prepared to stretch
who I am
and what I believe
in order to satisfy
the needs of my partner
there are things
I am will not do.

But oh
the intensification of physicality
the deepening of release
the driving up of hormonal driven threshold points
are sure part of the exchange
that I like to be into
both giving and receiving

and kink is only part of life
it can only happens
within the broader living
in which I deeply admire
self aware, self confident, thinking partners
individuals who are first and foremost
independent self accepting people
who happened to been born female

I will no longer look at the parts
of FetLife that show the kind
of behavior about which
I am less than tolerant
and I believe myself
to be a better person for it

I hear you listening to your own both deeper and higher self here. We all benefit when we do that and find our own sense of integrity.

Hi Author51

I have not become convinced
that the pain pleasure threshold
is as individual and different
for each one of us

Our genetics is so rich
and capable that we are
each so different
in the way that we experience things

Marvelous really to be human
and the recipient of this rich
gift given us by our evolutionary history

Thanks for your comment.
People come in all shades of feeling, color and desire
Each of us comes to a point
where we know what works for us
and what does not
Your view solidly says and supports that
Thanks for that

I think it's important not to confuse tolerance with concepts such as criticizing, wanting to do, curious to try or turned on by a particular activity.

What I'm reading is that you said, "your kink is definitely not my kink and it's fine that they to of you do it, but it makes me sufficiently uncomfortable that I'm going to step out of the room until you're done". That's the way it's supposed to work in the world of kink. We all have things that a beyond the pale for us: Some people would be uncomfortable verbally degrading their partner but are turned on by asking him or her a human ashtray; the human ashtray might find pony play or suspension by hooks is too much.

All of this to say, I think you are tolerant. In the world of kink, tolerance doesn't mean that we have to be okay with or comfortable with everything other people do. This is about pushing a person's boundaries and some peoples' boundaries are pretty far out there.

If you weren't tolerant, you would have posted comments that would shame one or both people, make a big public deal about how you feel, etc.

I think you're just fine.
