Unlikely I know but are any of you UK based folk going to this year's Bi Con in Edinburgh?

[Steffanie Saissore]

Just joined and hadn't noticed this thread until just now.  It is interesting to see that some of the things that have crossed my mind are shared by others.  Still, even writing this out, I kind of feel weird...mostly cause I'm so used to keeping everything to myself.

Anyway, I would have to say that being submissive comes naturally...it is very easy for me to do in an RP situation and I can sort of handle it in real life, though have never had a real opportunity to do so.  I would also say that I am into mild bondage.

I think some of my unease in opening up or talking about this is the rather conservative upbringing I had coupled with a need to retain control at all times.  Without getting into gory details, I tend to have a hard time opening up to anyone because I'm afraid of how they'll see me and just the fear of letting go.

Which brings me to another kink that I have and not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but I have a thing for erotic hypnosis and mind control.  Now, I'm not a fan of the turning the person into a mindless slave variety.  And I'm not a fan of the humiliation aspect that comes into a lot of the literature on the matter (I'm not a fan of humiliation/degradation/abuse type situations outside this area either).  I think that this also comes back to the need to retain control versus the desire to lose control.  Also, will this sort of thing interests me, the extent to which I would pursue it would remain in the medium of writing and role-playing.

So, I think I'll just go back to the corner now...

Is this a thread like the "Player Autobiographies" + "OMG show pictures of yourself" threads combined that derailed into a D/s discussion on page 1?

Original idea I reckon was the desire to discuss your possible alternative lifestyles, sexual orientation and preference, fetishes and such. Good old Tank and Spank is just an easy topic to discuss since everyone has something to say about it, even if they don't necessarily understand it.

However if you feel like discussing something else, I think you are free to do so.

I am unsure if it fits the topic, but I play a character who is a religious masochist.

Random tidbit: the title of that piece is a reference to a song by the fantastic Tom Lehrer.

Thanks for sharing everyone!

I'm a very 'vanilla' hetero male, but I like to consider myself a kink / LGBT / what have you   ally as best as I can be. 

As far as I'm concerned between consenting adults there is no 'should' so have fun as you see fit.

I know people at all ends of the sexual spectrum, from conservative hetero types, to porn makers and directors, from swingers, to poly families, to BDSM enthusiasts, to things in-between.   I've dated a few professional Dominatrices who made 3 times my annual salary working 3 nights a week beating up old white men. 

It's a zany world out there, enjoy your one run through is all I can say.

[Della Monk]

My thoughts aren't all in a row at the moment, so for now I'll just say high-five for hypnosis.
Great fun, if you've the attitude for it.

I'm a switch (with dominant leanings) in a long distance relationship with a switch (leaning sub).  It's an interesting dynamic, not least as it's my first experience of such things (and second relationship - first was a trainwreck, this one's been going two years and hopefully soon to stop being long distance).  We alternate roles on a weekly basis; it keeps things interesting, and provides a good learning experience for us both.  Plus it reinforces an oft-forgotten fact about BDSM; you don't need to be physically together for it to work (although it's much nicer...)

So, I'm going to necro this given a question I realize I'm having.

I am interested in playing a sub/pet/lowercase-letter side of the scale.  If I wish to rp that out (not the ERP side, just the relationship side) where in EVE is safe to do that?  I know the Summit has a no-slave rule, for example.

Help!

Subs are not always slaves.  I know it's a cliche but in Dom/Sub play, usually the Subs are the ones actually in charge.  They are the wielders of the almighty safe word.  Translating that into RP, you could play a sub who "gives in" to get what they want so to speak. 

Words like Master, or Teacher, or Sensei and such could be used outside of the Master/Slave dynamic to give you a form of address for whomever your co-rp'er will be.  I'm guessing your biggest hurdle is going to be getting AWAY from ERP though as most will assume that's where this is headed and I'm guessing, jump in head first with the genital waving .

Anways, good luck and sorry if I rambled a bit.

P.S. I think you could get away with it in Summit but I'm still not fully "up" on everything the Summit is and is not.

Random flyby to say that this sounds like a general "Where do people play relationships in EVE these days?" Could be friends, colleagues, romantic partners, people who share a hobby, or whatever.

It used to be that you'd play these things in chat channels (private, semi-public, public), convos, corp and alliance (if you were in one of the immersionist groups), forums, PMs, emails, messaging clients, IC blogs, fiction....

I've been sort of looking lately, and realising how unusual my experience of EVE RP probably was, having all of these... and that I'm not sure where I'd look, these days, to find equivalents.

-- What blend of participation vs performance do you like in your RP? (Is it mostly for the people involved, or does it really want an audience?)

-- Do you have someone(s) in mind to play with? (If you do, you'll find a way, whether that's in private chat or public soirées that you host, or fiction that you write.)

-- How would you like to see this RP relationship interacting with your EVE gameplay? (Do you imagine doing in-game work/activities because your Upper-Case has given instructions, or is this more about IC but non-gameplay play?)

Important stuff-

-- What blend of participation vs performance do you like in your RP? (Is it mostly for the people involved, or does it really want an audience?)

-- Do you have someone(s) in mind to play with? (If you do, you'll find a way, whether that's in private chat or public soirées that you host, or fiction that you write.)

-- How would you like to see this RP relationship interacting with your EVE gameplay? (Do you imagine doing in-game work/activities because your Upper-Case has given instructions, or is this more about IC but non-gameplay play?)

-- I'd be experimenting more as a lifestyle choice for the character.  It'd be more for the folk(s) involved, but given it is how the character lives, it could be open in other channels.  It doesn't beg an audience, it's more just like a Real World relationship.

-- atm, not really...this was an exploratory proof of concept idea post that I wanted to see if the concept could work before I jumped in.

--I joke I'm more of an NPC in my gameplay anyway, being that I enjoy mining and hauling predominantly.  Given if my ship is in space, I'm 98% IC though, this'd be the in-game activities (if not activities, goals) as dictated by Upper-case.
