Why the 24 hour bdsm?

[AndrewBlack]

Here, here. It would be a much duller place if everyone felt the same. I don't think there's a way you're 'supposed' to be with this, sounds like you have a pretty good time anyway so why change anything?

i've been trying to work out how to respond to this thread succinctly, because it's one that threatens to yap on and on.

What i came up with is that BDSM or perhaps specifically, Ds...is an ethos or 'system' which is free from specifics (must include sex, must be practiced for X amount of time etc)...the specifics are applied by individuals in terms of whether it's a sexual thing, whether it's a lifestyle thing etc.

Incidentally, it's probably also why we're all talking about very different things, under the one umbrella, a lot of the time.
