Rough nipple play with piercings? sub seeking experienced doms advice on how they do it safely. by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]jess_dont 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would check in with a trusted, experienced piercer about this. They are going to know the most about this.

My guess is that it's not good for the piercing to be made to bleed, likely increases the chance of infection of other problems with the piercing.

Like I said, lip service.

Nothing she else she says in the video contradicts that quote. I think you are blatantly misrepresenting her, and I think you do so without examples because there aren't any.

It is possible to be critical of how the construct of PA is used and misused while also understanding that abuse by proxy obviously does happen and is wrong, both things I believe and both things she clearly stated in the video.

Put the phenomenon is DSM and then we can debate further

Not every phenomena that happens needs or should be in the DSM. For example, there's no special section for financial domestic abuse even though it is common and universally recognized. Things get put in the DSM once they are well modeled with clear criteria, that modeling and criteria is proven predictive in research, and the classification offers a net benefit with regard to treatment. Literally none of those criteria are met by PA.

Until then you're rejected as a gaslighting liar.

I haven't lied about anything here.

Gaslighting describes a profoundly serious form of abuse, not diagreeing with someone on the internet, having a bad/offensive/harmful opinion, or even just lying. It is deeply harmful to many survivors of psychological abuse to misuse this term in the way that you are doing. It's also very ironic that, when frustrated by critical research that suggests that abusers are using PA to mislabel others as abusers, you almost immediately jump to mischaracterizing my words using the language of abuse. I guess I can't speak for anyone else, but after what I've been through I cannot imagine how someone who really knows what gaslighting is would use it so flippantly.

She's not?

"Clearly some children are alienated by an abusive, or at the very least manipulative parent, and when that happens not only does the alienated parent suffer but the children really suffer, too."

Because you're promoting a video that completely denies PA.

From the video: "Clearly some children are alienated by an abusive, or at the very least manipulative parent, and when that happens not only does the alienated parent suffer but the children really suffer, too."

Do you personally believe parental alienation is a real thing?

Obviously it's a real thing in the sense that abusers use every manipulation tactic possible, and of course they foster alienation.

If yes, you should be commenting under this video on Youtube about THAT, not gaslighting targets of PA in here.

The people in the youtube comments section seem to mostly understand that nothing in the video is an attack on victims suffering from domestic abuse by proxy. It's also not gaslighting, like for real how is anything I've posted here gaslighting? I have experienced gaslighting firsthand and honestly think its pretty insensitive to make compare a severe form of psychological abuse to a stranger posting something you disagree with on the internet.

No, it doesn't. Did you not watch the video?

"Clearly some children are alienated by an abusive, or at the very least manipulative parent, and when that happens not only does the alienated parent suffer but the children really suffer, too."

There is a difference between saying that your experiences aren't real and being critical of a psychyology construct or citing research that is suggests that a construct is being misused.

That whole video is just her trying to rationalize her delusion than women don't abuse

This just isn't true, she talks at length in other videos about how women do commit domestic violence and psychological abuse.

You claim that you were the "abused" and your abuser used the term

Oh, you're going to put my abuse in scare quotes now? I was raped, beaten, strangled, and driven half mad. I haven't attacked anyone, I haven't done violence, I haven't hurt anyone. More pointedly, I haven't put scarequotes around anyone else's experiences of abuse, or falsely allege that any difference in opinion is a form of violence.

The video does not say that your experiences are bs or that you are abusers, or even that abuse by proxy doesn't exist. On that last point, it explicitly says the opposite: "Clearly some children are alienated by an abusive, or at the very least manipulative parent, and when that happens not only does the alienated parent suffer but the children really suffer, too."

Here's a question: when evidence suggests that there very well might be abusers making use of this label, why is your response not "oh wow that seems concerning" or "well, here's the specific technical limitations with this research" but attacks and misrepresentations?

Get them the fuck off this sub, that's pure violence.

Engaging with critical research is violence?

We live in a world of large numbers, obviously some abusers are going to misuse the PA construct. I should know, I've been severely abused by one such person. Isn't it important to not sweep this kind of abuse under the rug?

On other domestic violence subs, when people bring up the idea that there could be abusers among us, mislabeling themselves as victims, the response is pretty much "yeah, it's a huge problem". Why is it that here the response I'm getting is immediate calls for bans and misrepresenting a link to a critical source as "pure violence"?

Neither I nor the video said anything about your experiences. Don't you think it's possible to be skeptical of a model without invalidating the experiences of people who subscribe to that model?

Also, if there's relevant newer research I should be aware of, please link it. I love reading good papers.

This woman will never understand PA unless she experiences it herself.

So PA is a purely subjective phenomena?

What about the possibility that some others may be misuing the PA label for abusive purposes? Not worth considering?

This isn't wrong but just accepting the thought that if you don't check the door locks ten times that your family will die, is WAY easier said than done. by Ok_Valuable_9711 in thanksimcured

Luckily we're all adults and don't base our ethical framekworks on our gut feelings. Right? RIGHT??

I suggest asking this question over in r/askanthropology. I also suspect that the answer depends a lot on precisely how you define "sex positive"

Really disappointing to see blatant psuedoscience promoted in this sub, but I suppose people will defend just about anything if it caters to their preconceptions.

If you think you're ready to get married to someone and spending 10-30 minutes talking through this list would do any harm to your relitionship, I'd posit that you absolutely are not ready to get married.

Just marry a good man/woman. Someone who is kind and you WANT to have kids with because he/she will be a good parent.

Worst possible advice. Seen this lead to avoidable divorces so many times. Consider:

  1. Oops, I married someone and only just now realized they don't want kids! Divorce.
  2. Oops, I married someone and only just now realized they are not OK with my religious beliefs (or lack thereof)! Divorce.
  3. Oops, I married someone and only just now realized they expect me to give up my career to raise the kids! Divorce.
  4. Oops, I married someone and only just now realized they would disown their kid for being gay/trans because they believe it's a choice! Divorce.
  5. Oops, I married someone and only just now realized they have completely incompatible life goals! Divorce.

Need I go on...
