Uneducated, prone to do this for life. I feel pitty....YOU LET PEOPLE BEAT YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE WELTS...HAVE YOU NO SELF ESTEEM? SEX IS IN THE MIND .....GET ONE..FOR YOUR BAG...

Although I'm not completely immersed in this lifestyle, I am VERY well read on the subject, have friends who fully participate that I completely respect, and I do have some understanding of it and a little experience as well. Frankly, it can be really hot. The welts and bruising? Oh yes. And after the bruising it can get a lot worse, or better , according to your desires. It is a mindset that transcends being male or female, such as you suggested in another response. In other words, a man being submissive isn't mentally any different or more capable (well but for the obvious!) than a woman.
I can certainly appreciate that someone who doesn't understand "this" would show concern, if that is what you're doing, for those who participate. Several years ago I had a very dear friend who had a slave contract with her lover, her Master that she sincerely loved. I accidentally found it and was just appalled. This woman bordered on brilliance. Now? She is just brilliant. Period. She's beautiful, completely self-actualized and very accomplished. The men AND women that I have met who are submissive tend to be exceptionally intelligent. When something dealing with sexuality isn't understood, then trying to understand what is the psychology of that something can open up some very sensual and interesting doors. It did for me.
It's just unseemly to go off the deep end, sounding shrill, when you're just not getting it.
And finally, you're not being polite to two women that I hold in high esteem. They speak their minds, they're giving and know what they want. They're smart and show it. If what they do in their private lives is not your cup of tea, then look the other way. These activities are consensual and between adults. They're doing nothing to hurt you and that wasn't the point of the original poster's topic anyway.
For the most part, I've parroted much of what others have said but I did wish to reiterate what they had written.
'Nuff said.
Subcilla, I have also been trying to get together a toy bag of sorts as well. I believe that you have seen me write about the subject on a different website and it's always a work in progress! It's difficult when I have an incall, sometimes work out of my home and have occasional outcalls as well. How do you carry everything without having a large suitcase that you log around?
What I've tried to do is find items that can do double duty. A silk tie (nice expensive ones but I got them at Goodwill) can double as a cock ring, bindings, handcuffs and the sort. We both know the joy of clothespins but having a few different sizes is good. I tend to go simple and so I limit those dildoes and stuff like that to a very few. I'm not into toys that much anyway. As you know, so much of this is a mental game and challenge.
Have you thought of adding some candles to play with? I just like what candles offer during an appointment whether it's vanilla or not ... and if your client wishes to use the ones that have a low heat, then wwweeelllllll...wicked grin.
I honestly like taking the route of having the person who wishes to use a certain instrument provide it themselves. And then when you're in the negotiation stage, you can yeah or nay it on the spot. That has worked for me on several occasions and actually, it's been nice because I've acquired some things that I would have never thought to get myself.
So good luck with it all! People who walk a different path that most don't understand should know that it's going to be met with opposition. That's why it's difficult for escorts to often have close friends outside this world because others just don't understand. Or they cannot. The inability to not understand isn't their fault. But sometimes it's good to just not worry about others opinions too much. The ones that matter understand or love you anyway.
Take care everyone!
Yours,
Elisabeth
