We&#8217;re talking extrusion of my soul through my nether regions. We&#8217;re talking comprehensive humiliation. We&#8217;re talking a 21&#8211;3 defeat at his mighty hands.<\/p>\n<p>Which just rubs my nose in last week&#8217;s       defeat to Tony L. He took me apart 21&#8211;12. Eish. <\/p>\n<p>Which all means that if I want to stay in line to win the money for this cycle, I&#8217;ve got to beat both Alistair and Harold. Wish me luck!!!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mysite.mweb.co.za\/residents\/rb000004\/Nude_Breast.jpg?resize=200%2C266\" alt=\"There are advantages to being an artist in a D\/s relationship. One's partner can be ordered to pose. Viva!\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"200\" \/>And when it comes to D\/s, my relationship has really taken off. I&#8217;m in a very happy space with Karen. (If you know her name as something else from previous Schmuck reviews, that&#8217;s cos I&#8217;ve decided to change her name on this site in case her family stumbles upon it. I&#8217;m way too liberal with my business cards, and they know nothing of her predelictions. So please accept her new name&#8230; Karen.)<\/p>\n<p>This site has generated two types of attention from my friends and colleagues with regards to the D\/s stuff. The majority of my buddies, both male and female, are in the &#8220;Gimme details, Roy!!!&#8221; camp. But one or two of my friends are in the &#8220;I&#8217;m shocked and horrified, and you&#8217;re a depraved mutilator of women&#8221; camp.<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s debunk some myths.        <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>o No&#8230; I haven&#8217;t descended some slippery slope into madness. I&#8217;m still the same Roy I used to know, except that now I&#8217;ve liberated a side of myself I wasn&#8217;t properly in touch with. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o Yes&#8230; Every now and again in a sexual situation, I slap <\/i><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karen<\/span><i>. Sometimes hard, sometimes very softly. Sometimes I really make her flinch with the force of it. Sometimes I really make her flinch just by raising my hand. AND IT TURNS HER ON BIIIIIIIIIIGTIME!!!! Okay? Kapisch? Understand this point? This stuff is MUTUAL! It&#8217;s not ABUSE! It&#8217;s something that WORKS for her. And yes, it works for me too. In this particular context. Just cos <\/i><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karen <\/span><i style=\"font-style: italic;\">likes to be slapped doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m going to be slapping every girl I meet!!! And if this relationship with   <\/i><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karen <\/span><i>ends up NOT working out for some reason, I&#8217;m not going to be assaulting women, for fuck sakes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o No&#8230; I&#8217;m not discussing with my friendly local butcher the best way to skewer a woman&#8217;s arms on sharpened meat hooks.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o No&#8230; I haven&#8217;t been looking into leatherware shops longingly, wondering if they&#8217;ll be happy to make me a fierce, studded mask. I&#8217;m not interested in leather. I&#8217;m interested in being the best partner for my new lover, not in being a leather jockey.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o Yes&#8230; I&#8217;m looking at women VERY differently from the way I did before. And yes&#8230; I AM wondering which of the women I come across are into being tied up and dominated. And yes&#8230; I&#8217;m MASSIVELY surprised by HOW MANY, read it&#8230; MANY MANY MANY women ARE into this. Scratch the surface, and that demure little beauty you think you knew is actually a minx waiting to be whipped. Truly. It&#8217;ll blow your mind how many women are into this. And how few men are capable of doing the domination thing without being utter pricks.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o Yes&#8230; I&#8217;m learning as much as I can about being a good dom. Knowledge is power. More to the point, knowledge means there&#8217;s no danger. And more fun.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o No&#8230; vanilla sex is not pointless. <\/i><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karen<\/span><i> and I have vanilla sex quite a lot of the time, and it&#8217;s wonderful. Just as good as any sex I&#8217;ve ever had. But when the D\/s stuff is added to it, it&#8217;s truly outstanding. And no&#8230; I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll be a problem for me to go back to vanilla sex, but I do think it&#8217;ll have to have some spicing other than plain vanilla.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o No&#8230; I&#8217;m not some depraved animal that doesn&#8217;t know right from wrong. Men who beat women are abusers. Men and women in D\/s or BDSM or S&#038;M relationships are doing this stuff CONSENSUALLY. There are safe words. To a &#8220;normal&#8221; couple in a &#8220;normal&#8221; relationship, the words &#8220;Ouch&#8221; and &#8220;Stop!&#8221; are the most important words in the world, and dishonouring those words is tantamount to abuse. In D\/s, &#8220;Ouch&#8221; and &#8220;Stop!&#8221; are irrelevant, and actually add to the excitement. But the safe words ARE even MORE IMPORTANT in D\/s than &#8220;Stop!&#8221; and &#8220;Ouch&#8221;. They are COMPLETELY honoured at all times!!! There is NO depravity in honouring a safe word.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>o Yes&#8230; I&#8217;ve pushed <\/i><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Karen <\/span><i>to using her safe words several times. And that&#8217;s an absolutely astounding honour for me, because it means she trusts me enough to let me go places she doesn&#8217;t normally go. And it means I honour myself, cos I&#8217;m pushing myself to my own limits. When I slap her, we&#8217;re nowhere NEAR her safe words. When I nibble her toe, which makes her claustrophobic for some reason, THAT&#8217;S a safe word. How fuckin depraved is THAT???<\/i>       <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rub&#8230; if you&#8217;re really agitated about this stuff, and it&#8217;s making you sleepless, and you&#8217;re feeling nauseous, and you&#8217;re feeling like you&#8217;re allowing me to sink into a festering pool of mind-altering viciousness, and you can hear the fiddle tuning up while Rome burns, please please please&#8230; I beg you&#8230; get some information on this stuff before condemning it.

If only I could speak to my friendly local butcher about skewering Alistair and Harold in backgammon. My submissive li&#8217;l babe might just lose respect for me if I lose to them. And then I&#8217;m going to have to REALLLLLLY slap her to put her in her place.
