LuckyMcSwervy 0 #4 April 3, 2009 I imagine there's a certain level of trust if you're letting someone spank you...... so I believe that. What about restraints??Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume that from the "level of trust" standpoint restraints would improve intimacy also. I would know from experience that is the case It wouldn't hurt you to think like a fucking serial killer every once in a while - just for the sake of prevention Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #14 April 3, 2009 So people who enjoy inflicting pain on their partner, are more "intimate" than those who believe in not hurting their partner. Uh-huh... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,435 #15 April 3, 2009 >So people who enjoy inflicting pain on their partner, are more "intimate" >than those who believe in not hurting their partner. Yep. Basically anything sexual you do with a partner that you both enjoy increases intimacy. Even if it's something that someone else disapproves of.

Bolas 5 #17 April 3, 2009 Sure. Especially during intercourse as it just pushes "things" in just a little bit more. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think JohnRich meant "those who believe in not hurting their partner" to mean "those who do nothing sexually with a partner that they both enjoy."

turtlespeed 212 #19 April 3, 2009 Perhaps it would have been better if he had used the words, "It's Likely", there are no absolutes in life, except death, and it does seem that technically he was speaking in an absolute. Lighten up . . . This isn't speakers corner.

billvon 2,435 #20 April 3, 2009 >I don't think JohnRich meant "those who believe in not hurting their partner" >to mean "those who do nothing sexually with a partner that they both enjoy." True. But people who do _anything_ sexual together that they both enjoy (whether it involves pain, or french maid's uniforms, or other people seeing them, or whatever) are in general more intimate with each other. Substitute any of those into the original statement, and yes, in general those people are more intimate with each other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Substitute any of those into the original statement, and yes, in general those people are more intimate with each other. Perhaps. I just think you mis-read John's question. But then I think he may have inferred more from the article than what was actually meant. I think he interpreted it to mean that all couples who participate in _S&M_ are more intimate than all of the other couples who don't, and of course that is not true.

Substitute any of those into the original statement, and yes, in general those people are more intimate with each other. Most of that comes from the fact they openly discuss sex and their desires. Chances are if they can talk about that, they discuss most of the "normal" things better too.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
