I know he's gone... and I've studiously avoided this topic until now... but I feel I must address something. Especially as one of those women that have seen both ends of the weight spectrum scale.Originally Posted by player
My weight really is not attached to any of my proclivities. In "vanilla" affairs and relationships, only one man has given me an orgasm during sex. I've had fantasies and "leanings" long before I was ever aware of weight.
It just amazes me how many people equate thin with success in relationships/life. Hell I bought into that claptrap for years. Made me miserable when I was thin and made me miserable when I was fat.
That attitude is so amazingly unhealthy for our emotional selves it is unreal. Nor is it easy to combat as long as idiots such as this fellow are around. It's hard enough to deal with the personal challenges of facing the BDSM music without adding in some trumped up notion of another "flaw".
Overweight has nothing to do with BDSM. Being overweight can cause emotional issues which may in turn make a person feel like less than they are. And yes some of those women might seek out BDSM. But dollars to donuts, these women felt the bdsm stirrings long before they ever knew anything about the social pressures of being fat.
I honestly can't say if I know if there are more overweight women than skinny in the bdsm scene. However if there are, it might very well be because the women that are overweight have been flouting "convention" and societal standards for so long, it may have given them additional personal strength to go after BDSM. Once you've thumbed your nose at what society says on such a personal matter, it gets easier and easier to do it with other personal matters.
If there is any one thing that has bearing to my interest in BDSM it would be the emotional abandonment by my father. But then if you were to ask me, I would also contribute my heavier weights over the years to that too.
I get very tired of people like this. People that think in 2 dimensional terms. He might just as well have said that all dominants are insecure control freaks who never got hugged by their mothers.
BDSM is complicated enough. It's not like we need to add in stereotyping and high school psychology because someone can't wrap their mind around human complexity.
"Deny the truth" .... Grrrrr.... Pardon me, but he's an ass.
