Not everyone thinks the same way Everyone in the lifestyle has their own opinion. I get that. When I wrote about respect recently, I should have added that we should all respect each other’s opinions AND the way they are presented. Not everyone enjoys my articles for instance. I recently got the following message: “Enjoy your very boring and repetitive writings that really don’t say very much” Obviously, this person doesn’t think much of what I write or how I write it, even though others do. Many of us attempt to help the community by sharing our experiences. But not everyone has the same experience and teachings. It’s why I always say get as many opinions as you can. There are many ways to live this lifestyle. I preach safety and lean heavily towards the safety of the submissive. Others preach total power by the Dominant, others live on the edge of risk. There are some basics that at least most lifestylers, live by. But there will always be those that make up their own rules and teach those rules to others. Which will always cause confusion and grey areas. What ever you read, whoever you listen to, never take it as gospel. You don’t know who taught THEM. Always double check, even triple check, with other sources. Your safety depends on it. © 6/24/23 Ronald Dirienzo |

If we all thought the same, wouldn't that be such a boring existence? And like what was said before, respect for others is needed.

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. I’m sure the ones that would ridicule your writings would be very boring and repetitive and really would not say very much…..IF they could read and write…..🤣😆😂

so many of us have grown to this place through different paths. How is their path invalid ? Seems to me you have a good point.

While I would agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinions/views, the amount of "respect" given to a stated opinion/view tends to depend on a number of factors including how it's presented. And none of that precludes the possibility of disagreement or criticism about the opinion/view, albeit hopefully presented reasonably respectfully  I feel that the bigger issue beyond presentation is usually the inability to objectively accept negative feedback if/when it's presented.As for "preaching rules" (as referenced by the post), I personally find a problem with both the term "preaching" and implication of "rules". The concept of "preaching" tends to imply a somewhat dictatorial presentation. And when combined with the implication of (usually rigid) "rules", all of it tends to lead to the "one true way" syndrome. The further implication being that anyone who doesn't conform to this "one true way" is somehow deficient or not truly affiliated with some group or clique. In reality, there is no "one true way" in the BDSM realm despite what some people like to preach. Personally, I've never found anyone who preaches or rigidly conforms to some "one true way" dogma to be even remotely interesting. And I've never known any adventurous partners who wanted that either. But that's my experience and opinion, your mileage may vary
