Quote:That's a good start on the limitations of the rule - it is on considerations like those that there are few, if any, who follow it. I have not found many who actually and truly want to be forced - such would lack initiative - nor have I found many who want violence done to them outside limited bedroom kinkiness. I think it's fair to say I haven't actually physically met any.Which is to say that you don't get out much.
Quote:And people who *claim* to believe in a sky fairy may not, in fact, believe at all. There are social-hierarchical benefits to pretending to believe what one doesn't believe.The True Christian™ gambit. Meh, seen it.
