BDSN play parties are a fusion of various art forms, politic movements (sex positive, LGBT, paganism) variously involved with BDSM including roleplay eroticism and Japanese rope work, sometimes theatrics with flame, poi spinning and spinning flame, and costumes.
Most are open to anyone obeying rules of respecting others and orgy activites are encouraged in private venues with condoms given out, sheets to cove the floor in areasa where bodily fluids may be present, disenfectants are available and used, safe sex and sex workers resources materials are often available at the entrance doorway or elsewhere.
Unlike work environments the mingling IS around sex and sexuality and sex practives and it is the subject of activitie and discussion.
One of the problems is that the normal social interactions exists in voluntary associations where people make associations based on interests and vet away others based on fears.
This makes BD|SM Munches a faddish attempt to sound more interesting or more knowledgeable or more safety oriented than others.
In this area I assert I was used by sociall reprehensible ghetto criminals who wished to co-opt who I am to make themselves interesting while at the same time worked to shun me, vet me out, so I was not seen as competition nor the source of the interesting aspects of who they are.
I will quote a few on this. I a movie with Claudia Christianson set in Malta a latin lover types shuns white women’s worth as uninteresting, her in tight clothing gym shorts a runner, just like all the others, in an attitude seemling modeled on the “psycho” of American Beauty.
I have called out ghetto criminals in the BDSM scene as a predatory element but that comes across as white supremacism and a white supremacist from the prison and mental health system.
The interesting thing to me as they are right. That is where I come from. And like Cuban refuggees who in Florida gave the election (it seems) to Bush Chenney in 2000 rather than Gore Clinton I recognize the danger of ghetto in the scene as Hispanic Cubans recognized the danders as Castro and Communism.
Finally I will say when psychiatrists used to ask me “Do you hear voices that are not there?” I kept responding “No, I hear voices who are there.” These were stalkers of me who were hostile and trying to agitate me and I seemed paranoid about their presence.
I think I have that in common with Brittany Spears, Veronica Hoffman, and Tom Dunham, Gang Stalk victims.
