BDSM vies with Heartland for normal & well-adjusted peop

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

They are more articulate, aware and caring than most people I have met. People have found it time and again - if someone goes through a divorce or bankruptcy or difficult time, it's their friends from 'the [BDSM] scene' who rally round.
Doesn't that sound like us? :lol:

If this is you working up to arriving at the next do with a cat-o-nine tails, a leather mask, and a smile, well...

I'm leaving it to madame :P

On the similarities, one is a group of seemingly normal individuals who clothe themselves in bizarre outfits behind closed doors in dark places, and torture themselves over a concept the rest of the human race considers incomprehensible and even dangerous...

And the others are BDSMers!

I'll leave you to work out the references. :wink:

Some crossover is, unfortunately, unavoidable. :P

I drink my coffee in a little shop in Covent Garden called CCK. A nicer enviroment to spend an afternoon in discussion with both friends and strangers I couldn't imagine.

Coffee Cake & Kink is the full name of the place. As well as a coffee and cake shop it acts as a fetish gallery, a display and retail area for erotic artists and has a vertible libary of books alongside a small range of toys etc.

Despite this it's full of normal, well adjusted people doing what coffee shop patrons do best: Nattering :)

In fact, I recomend it to any London based HL'ers.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

Somewhere else to take my cousins when they visit :twisted:

Where about in Covent Garden is the coffee shop Maisey?

Saw what you did there! :wink: I dunno, think I'd probably stretch the first pair of suspenders I tried, and this topic is going in an odd direction... :eek:

i don't believe in normal well-adjusted people. In my experience, normal people are anything but well-adjusted.

Some of the most "articulate" people i know are the biggest assholes around, as are socalled "caring" people. And some of the nciest people i know are taciturn and difficult to approach and walk around with a look of disdain on their faces.

My point is, those kinds of things as articulate or caring mean abso-fn-lutely nada. And it's idiotic to talk about those kinds of things as indicative of being well-adjusted or nice.

Just like i only ever hear of idiots praising democracy.

@ Madame :-) - I am fine thanky

As for BDSM people - some I know are really "nice" and some are complete "arseholes" - oddly enough it is mainly the women who are the aresholes.

Still posting here I see. Hypocrite.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.
