Perhaps there really are only two types of people in the world The Poetess wrote a wonderful post about the attitudes some have pertaining to switching, bisexuality, etc. which also has lots of great comments. [post 360817] I didn’t want to go on and on in her blog but it’s attitudes like this that get me rolling so here’s a bit more about my thinking on this. There is a human tendency to classify everything which is a strength as well as a weakness. Unfortunately, the weakness is this tendency often goes too far leaving one of two possibilities. We hear it all the time; someone is either a dom or a sub, gay or straight, master or slave, etc. but aren’t we all slaves to this basic fallacy at different points in time, not only pertaining to this lifestyle but to our thinking in general? It’s the classic false dilemma at work. Certainly for some, it’s clear. They’ve known they have a tendency which will never sway but for others, the lines are blurry; they experiment and evolve discovering aspects of their personality they weren’t previously aware of. We like it when someone takes a position and sticks with it. That’s my best guess as to why there’s always dissent for those who ride the middle ground. I’m taking the position that instead of being so rigid in our thinking about a person being this or that, it would be better to adopt the view that everything is plotted on a continuum and while some may find their point on it early and remain there, many will move along it freely as their life and thinking evolves. For many of us, the way we felt about a specific activity or role five or ten years ago is quite different from how we feel about it now. Variety is the spice of life after all. I love chocolate but sometimes a bowl of vanilla ice cream is just right. If you were an actor, would you want to spend the rest of your life playing one part in the same play every day? Oh, that sounds like Cats! Growth in our perspective is one of the great joys of living and learning. I suppose there really are only two types of people in the world, those who believe there are only two types of people in the world and those who know better.  |
