Note: This story was dynamically reformatted for online reading convenience. Okay, this section is separate from Non/con because of Overlap. First of all, I see it as therapy, and as an Erotic site, most of the traumas are going to be sexual, and therefore non-consensual. Also, in extreme circumstances, consensual non-concent extreme play (To differentiate from Edgeplay, which may be confused for blade play) may be experimented with. These include rape fantasies, where it's agreed beforehand that it will be as close to rape as possible for realism, and intensity. On the Sadomasochistic scales, another example is the slow careful escalation from orange-to-red. Why it's called extreme play, red is the point of nonconcent, but among other things, you can't find your limits without being taken to them. Which is why it's often called Edge Play. Because there is a slippery slope, but sometimes you may carefully get close enough to look over the edge, without sliding down. That's what these are about. "The price is right," the trick is getting as close as you can get, without overbidding. Now, all of this is fictionalized fantasies based on my personal experiences, some of which being the reasons I need BDSM for therapy. So, trigger warnings will be at the chapter heads. In case you're wondering why some stories wind up here, while others won't, either the pervasive theme of BDSM, or pseudo "BDSM" (Abuse masquerading as play) isn't actually the central focus of the story, or because they're part of a recurring serial storyline, like {\Parent Directory\Morion/} Morion. Content Codes: Both for reference, and trigger warnings to avoid undesirable scenes. DS means Dominance and submission, though if convenient, I work it in with the character codes. FdoM is short for FemdoM, where both participants are adults. Signifies a disparity of Control, not just top/bottom, but fetishitically, and/or therapeudically giving up Power and Control from one to the other. When abusive, more appropriate warnings like Mole-Rape will be included, but this is basically DS. Where the submissive Willingly consents to being Dominated, and this requires full explicit, Informed consent. Tricking a groomed little girl into playing along with molestation is not Consent, it's coercive abuse, and exploitation. So, that should cover Cons/NC. Don't try any of this at home kids, without an extensive discussion to the point of full understanding, even if these are skipped for story purposes. Then, get explicit, enthusiastic, noninterpretable consent, preferably in writing. (Especially for rape, and other extreme play. For the security of everyone involved.} and THEN proceed massively underbidding, and escalate as slowly as possible without ruining the scene. Trust me on this, the slow escalation helps, and makes the release that much more satisfying. There is no such thing as a quicky, if you don't have your schedule clear, do something simpler. SM: It's not Sadism and Masochism, it's Sadomasochism. S/m denotes a Sadist releasing tension on a non-masochist, with consent. Probably because they need it, or for some other therapeutic purposes. Likewise, s\M signifies a masochist receiving pain from a non-sadist, because they need it. Did I mention it's complex? Bare with me. Sade denotes Sadistic Abuse, NC, of a Victim. Maso I probably won't need, but just to close the loop would mean a Masochist forcing a nonsadist to hurt them, against their will. Hard to set up, I've done it, but not that much. (Started out a Dominant Masochist, actually helps people through pathological pacifism, which can get subs serially abused because they can't fight back.) B&D is Bondage and Discipline, where pain is not a motivating factor. May be involved, but the point is to control yourself, eachother, or be controlled, that's the discipline. For instance a non-masochist enduring pain to raise their threshold, for consensual punishment (They truly earned) demonstration, or therapeudic (Desensitization) purposes. Bond is just bondage, because some people just like how it looks and feels, it can be a fetish all it's own. Disp means discipline without bondage, for instance holding onto the headboard, pillow, being verbaly Muted (Not a word) keeping your eyes open, or closed, and so forth. Also Bind is Binding, for instance the breasts, or a strap-down, usually for Gender Play (Forced feminisation, and the like.)
