          The way it was explained to me emphasized the warm and constricted aspects of being “swallowed” and I’m now somewhat sure vore people just need a weighted blanket lol.

          it’s pretty solidly in the fantasy only* realm lol. kinda like giantess, transformation, monster girl, etc. people know it’s not gonna happen IRL. that’s probably why these types of kinks seem overrepresented on the internet, as opposed to more logistically feasible things like consensually hitting each other, outfits, etc.

          *i mean at least in this century

                Yeah it’s rahter benign, they both got what they wanted. But it doesn’t really gel with the mores.

                A similar, but less extreme point could be made about euthanasia and abortion, although the consensuality can be denid there.

                I really don’t see any problem if someone truely wants to be eaten. as long as others aren’t unwittingly involved.

                If I remember correctly, they went to the bathroom and put ice on Bernd’s weiner to make the area numb, before Armin cut it off. Then they cooked and attempted to eat it over a candle lit dinner. However, the consistency of weiner is apparently so chewy, that it is inedible. Bernd was, if I remember correctly, fading in and out of consciousness during, due to bloodloss and he was in terrible pain too.

                I forget if they attempted to cut more pieces off of Bernd while he was still alive or if Bernd agreed to die after that failed dinner. I know they were intimate and that a lot of it was filmed, as well as the murder. Armin cooked and ate him over a period of time, storing his dismembered body in a freezer.

                Bernd took part in the cannibilization of himself before his death, which is partially why that whole case was so friggin bizarre because it was all consensual. It just doesn’t hold up in court, thankfully.

                It’s been awhile, so I’m probably misremembering some details, but this is the roundabout way I remember this case. It was massive and everybody talked about it for years.

                I also remember some horror director making a movie, recreating the entire crime from beginning to end, which was very controversial. For some reason my mind is pointing at Harmony Korine, but I’m not sure. He’s always the first director I think about when it comes to fuck up movie projects, lol.

                But yeah. Crazy case.

    I don’t get race play. I’ve been with people of other races and never even began to consider race play. I have to wonder how someone finds it sexy to consider race. Is it related to dom/sub, but expanded to all of society?

      Tell humans something is naughty or bad and some will find a thrill in it regardless of what it is. Also it’s a power exchange which is a very common dynamic humans enjoy in and outside the bedroom.

          Race play is the same as cnc… There is something that causes you anxiety or pain or trauma in real life, then you release that anxiety through sexualization of your fear because it now becomes something you control.

      It has racist roots. Like sissy and bimbo kinks have misogynist roots and orientation play has homophobic roots. None of these kinks are problematic. You are into what you are into and any way two adult consenting partners get each other off should be celebrated.

      most taboo subject kinks revolve heavily around the fact that it just is taboo, and the actual taboo itself is more of a flavor (at least in healthy use cases)

      I’m a part time professional dominatrix and have had two clients whose sessions involved race play. One where it was the main thing, and the other just part of it. For both of them I could tell they were deriving pleasure from the power exchange aspect, and the race thing was just the specific form it took for them

      It makes sense that for a majority of people, it’s going to be completely unsexy and seem strange and incomprehensible. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t be a kink

        It’s also popular with racists which is part of why kink communities are often so against it.

        I’ve been involved in kink and leather scenes most of my adult life and I’ve met a few of the sorts you have to push out for such reasons

      Much of kink is people playing with the things that feel heavy to them in ways that push their buttons.

      Race and the dynamics around it are a heavy thing that we internalize as part of our social conditioning, and for some people they have a desire to play with it.

      Personally I have no interest, and its important for people to remember that the heavy things they like to play with are difficult subjects and to treat them with care (often people do not adequately engage with why raceplay is so heavy, and then engage with others in a shitty way as a result. At which point it is not play, just racism). But as long as folks treat the subject with the appropriate respect and sensitivity until they’ve negotiated a dynamic and then stay within what’s negotiated I see it as being similar to all the other ways folks like to play with the things that are heavy to them. Like consentual nonconsent, where people roleplay nonconsentual sex, or forced feminization as a way of playing with the harmful way men are measured against a metric of masculinity and punished for failing by comparing them to women as degradation.

      But then, I’m white, so folks actually impacted by the heaviness of the subject may feel differently, and its important to listen to people actually impacted by something. In the kink community in my area it crops up as a point of contention periodically.

        I think you are reading too much into it, in many cases it probably is a “different looks interesting” kind of situation. In some cases, especially when it has become a fetish, yea might be a deeper psychological aspect.

      One observation I’ve made is that the people most obsessed with BBC type content: white men.

      I can’t say for certain, but it feels like some kind of victim complex type shit.

      It’s like they consider White / Asian women who have sex with black men to be “dirtier”.

        I (white woman) was chatting with a black man on a dating app some years back. Everything was going well until he started talking about my skin and how excited it made him. I tried to direct the conversation elsewhere, but he kept going back to the topic. It gave me the ick and it quickly became clear that’s the main thing he liked about me. That’s when I stopped talking to him.

        I think it’s cool to be physical with someone with a different color skin - it’s interesting, but it’s a small detail in the grand scheme of things. If you’re more interested in someone’s color than in who they are as a person, that’s taking it too far. Maybe some people are down for being fetishized, but I’m not into that.

        But with that said, you’re probably right - I don’t doubt white men do it more often, I just wouldn’t be the target of it and thus don’t see it as much. I feel for my sisters of color. I only had the one experience (so far), but I imagine they’ve dealt with it much more frequently. It sucks when you think you’re meeting someone cool and it turns out they can’t see beyond the most superficial of your features.

        I can find size, masculinity, feet, smell, whatever sexy because of power dynamics or stimulation. I don’t understand stimulation from race, but power dynamics maybe? But that’s stretching my perspective. Do you engage in race play and are you willing to elucidate me?

          I don’t engage in raceplay to the extent I think would qualify as a kink but whenever my skin tone is brought up I respond in the same way that I do as any other physical feature of mine is brought up.

          Seeing all the other replies talking about how others experience raceplay as an extension of the social and cultural context they live in is really surprising to me; that this gets left at the bedroom door. A comment on the colour of my skin has a similar effect on me as a comment on the colour of my eyes. When a partner finds that aspect of me particularly enticing I don’t find it weird, racist or an engagement in some sort of power dynamic. Its just an easy out to make sex more enjoyable for both of us. Same as if someone was super into any other part of me. Damn right I’d leverage that innate sexual desire.

      Sexual relations are the continuation of normal relations, making sexuality a mirror reflecting society. Findom reflects class relations, D/S reflects gender relations, SM reflects christianity, race play reflects racism, etc.

          Sure, this is a gross oversimplification, and SM is very wide; but the impact of two thousand years of Christianity really is very significant to the western psyche, even among the non-christian.

          Things like being bad and deserving punishment or suffering leading to ascension are so close to christian concepts (sinning and hell, the passion of Christ) that it would be surprising for them not to be connected.

          And there’s also christian influences in sexuality outside of SM obviously. Stuff like Temptation Island on TV, or just sex being “dirty” in general (as in, engaging in sex lowers one’s moral worth).

          I keep on ending up like this unironically when the relationship starts off closer to 50/50 slowly 60/40 70/30 then they lose their job then its 100/0 forever even when they gain their job back.

            This is not financial advice, but I think if you are stressing your bond allocation too much; you may be missing out on compounding growth. A targeted date fund is perfectly acceptable, so much so that it is a standard in most investment portfolios and even the default, daddy.
