    Dear Doc Snipes,
    Your work continues to show an extraordinary depth and breadth. You demonstrate an exceptional level of compassion and empathy. From your channel focusing on developing a Christian perspective to your work on addiction and recovery you speak to a wide range of topics.
    I think you are a very courageous person.
    So glad you are on CZcams.

    Thanks for this. You helped me pass the certification process last year. Now, as a substance abuse counselor practicing in a rehab, I run into all the "flavors of the sexual rainbow!" I needed to develop a non-judgmental, informed perspective, so this video was helpful

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  Pƙed 11 dny

      Glad it was. I just released the BDSM video too. There is so much misinformation around BDSM and how, without communication and respect , it can quickly turn into abuse.

    Nice to hear a rational talk on the subject, and so far, not bias. A range of types with a range of subtypes also. A good bit of crossover also between types. I'm not on fetlife or Facebook or Twitter or such. I've been locked out of Facebook for over a decade Twitter for many years. So, not what some might try to generalize. Nice to see you went over safe words, but if they are gaged. Then signals like stomps or knocks or such should be known and depends on setup.
    One you might want to look into as some of them may need help. Baby girl type, a large chunk of them seem to have lost kids. Ether in child birth or at a young age. Over an age and weight range, even more likely so. Or that's what I saw in the ones I talked to. It's been a few years, but things should be the same for statistics and linking trauma to a kink type. I only got to talk to about 60 to 70 of them. So I could be off. But it shocked me to see so many with the hidden truama.
    55:58 I would say I get that feeling a good bit. Almost alien even talking the same language. lol

    @geralldus Pƙed 15 dny +1

    With reference to BDSM and domination, I would contend that the roots or it are:
    It’s a reflection of infantile desire for containment. When emotionally aroused, as a young child, the expectation was that any alarm or distress felt would be mitigated by the containment provided by the carer, normally the mother. In adult life this situation, if not previously satisfied in childhood, can be replayed when levels of arousal, often sexual, are encountered and again a figure of containment is sought
 the dominant woman (mother). The dominant partner will also be often containing their own anxiety in controlling you
.. so the dance of life goes on!
    Is there any wrong with this? obviously not, it’s just adults playing out fantasies. The only possible down side is that it is a developmental dead end and leaves no potential for growth and adjustment to a more mature form of relationship.The process simply produces a closed cycle that can never be altered and brings those who participate back to the same place after every session. Although in acting out it allows expression of often powerful infantile emotions that otherwise might be expressed in less benign way.

    I am not a fan of positive sex culture, and BDSM kink though I realize for some people it is healthy way of experiencing their sexualality,
    Being in the recovery community we/I see people come in all to often absolutely broken by this behavior, whether its around opening up and inevitable feelings of jealousy, fear and resentment to actual physical abuse (Dom/Sub relationships etc
    Plus the transmission of various STDs again I want emphatically point out that for many it works in a healthy way
    But from what Ive seen many choose this without any preparation or even their partners consent and it can be absolutely distructive
    For those it works, good luck, because if it doesn't, I will see you in therapy
    Hopefully before it wrecks all other aspects of your life

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  Pƙed 11 dny +1

      As I said repeatedly in the presentation...it must be safe, sane and consensual. There are a lot of people that participate in the culture who find it very empowering and actually increases emotional intimacy in their relationships. And if you are playing only with your partner, then STDs really are not a worry.

      @DocSnipes I hear you and respect your view, I enjoy your videos very much but this is an issue that is extremely complicated and (in my experience) tends to go sideways more often than not (maybe I lack perspective due to my experience-I concede that pount)
      Overall I agree with you I just wanted to lend a voice to those who feel as I do

    • @BookWorm2369

      You are inserting your own bias here.
      BDSM is not abuse.
      Abuse is abuse and one party is not consenting.

    • @martinnibataan7046
      @martinnibataan7046 Pƙed 11 dny

      @BookWorm2369 maybe so, I certainly wouldn't want to take away anyones right to practice it
      Im just pointing out that from what I've witnessed, stories from people, especially those in the gay/trans & recovery community
      For them it' can be playing with fire,
      Just be careful you don't get burnt.
      People can attack me or disagree with me that's fine, but it's only fair that both sides be allowed to have a voice in this
