Contrary
to popular belief, BDSM is not merely about Whips and chains. In many
instances, toys are never used as the individuals, both Dominant and
submissive, are interested in "service" and a spiritual and/or
emotional connection. Also keep in mind that some Dominants do not use impact
toys (Whips, Floggers, Paddles) to enforce their dominance but use a
psychological impact--even Fear Play—never once laying a hand on the
submissive. There are also those Dominants/Masters/Mistresses who use
humiliation and extreme control, again never once lifting a finger. Plus many
BDSM relationships don't involve sexual contact. I can go on and on in this
topic however I'm sure you are getting the idea of how intricate and diverse
the world of BDSM is.
If you’re considering writing in
this genre and want to create realistic characters which will have your readers devouring your books
and craving more, please join my upcoming
BDSM for Writers Basics workshop at FF&P starting January 2. (sign up HERE )If you’re already writing in this genre,
it’ll provide great insight to the emotional and psychological
connections man and women make. Plus we’ll be following up with a BDSM—Advanced workshop in April. And of course nothing speaks to the heart as
steamy love scenes do. You may wish to consider joining me for a workshop on
adding a little spice to your scenes (1/14-1/27 From
Shyness to Steamy love scenes: sign up HERE).
Please feel free to visit my

Still not sure where I fall on this topic. I've read some now, no pull to write it. I guess I'd have to be a dom, because as I've said before, anyone "hits" me, they draw back a nub. But I am finding it a little intriguing when done right.
Donna,
And there in lays the misconception, "someone hitting you".
Dominance and submission is not about being abusive toward one another but about sharing trust and being vulnerable and accepting of your partner. It’s about one person leading and guiding the relationship and the other enhancing it.
Many Dominants never pick up a whip and their interactions with the submissive are service oriented only. Some individuals are sexual submissives with alpha personalities. There are so many emotional, psychological, and physical levels to BDSM that trying to define them all is like separating the grains of sand in an hourglass.
Live with passion,
Doctor Charley…
I do not see the Jan 2nd class offered on FF&P, only the Jan 14th class. I assume they are different.
This sounds like a very interesting workshop. Thank you for expounding on all the aspects that us lay folk tend to overlook. It's good to know more about a subject, especially when you're reading or writing it. Good luck with your class.
I have taken every class that Dr. Charley ever gave and I loved them. She takes the time to explain and I asked a bunch of questions. And when her classes ended, I missed learning from her. I friended her on FetLife. And until I put a note in my profile that I only play with hubby. I would get hit on by guys looking for a Domx. And I had a several want me as a bottom.
So Dr Charley, I love learning from you and I might take your class again just because. And no I'm not stalking you.....yet. Tee Hee. Blood and screams from Houston, Texas.
As always another great post,Doctor C. You rock. I hope will others will take part in your upcoming workshop. I know I enjoyed it and learned a lot from the experience. You are a well-spring of inspiration and information.
