    Today on my travels through CM I came across something that annoyed, disturbed and made me feel quite sad.

    Kink shaming.

    To me I want to point out that it’s like bullying. People come to sites like this for refuge, information and to divulge things of a personal nature that vanilla folk wouldn’t understand.

    I think it’s unnecessary and rude to chastise people who have their own personal tastes.

    No one is saying you have to partake or even like it but it’s a place to express yourself without judgement.

    It was brought to my attention by my sub that because of this they felt that posting something of ‘weird taste’ they would be judged by others and that folks is why I could not idly stand by and have anyone feel this way.

    No one has the right to make someone feel wrong for enjoying what some people class as ‘not the norm’. If it isn’t your thing then don’t shame others who do and most definitely keep those opinions to yourself if that’s how you feel. There are many posts on this site and it’s not necessary to have to post on it especially if it doesn’t float your boat. So just sail on by, carry on with your kinks and leave others to comment without fear of being ridiculed or judged.

    What goes on with consenting adults is fine by me.
    I don't think anyone has the right to judge what kinks are acceptable.
    What I have found on here is hipocrisy and mock horror about something they found acceptable before.
    Live and let live

    I do agree with you about being rude. It's quite unnecessary, and regrettable in a place like this in particular, where all of us are out in a niche and should be able to project rather more tolerance than most.

    However, I do worry about this "xxx-shaming" thing that's going on. When it is downright rude, as you have suggested here, then it's wrong, no question. But we are reaching a point, especially on Twitter and other social media, where it's becoming impossible to offer an alternative view on anything without being accused of "something-shaming". Tolerance is a two way street.

    I think you must be talking about the Watersports thread.

    https://www.chastitymansion.com/forums/index.php?threads/watersports.22853/

    This is why I created the "Other fetishes" forum, so (almost) every topic could have a place.

    @Cuckster feel free to go and have a look through forums yourself. I have no intention of naming particular people in regards to this.

    Pretty much nails it for me.
    We each make our own choices. I can feel ashamed, but nobody else can "shame" me. They just feel differently about something than I do. Different strokes...

    Of course fear is a reality, i dont want anyone to knows that i look certain type of porn or that i has x fantasy, in fact i will wait a few years with her until i told but that is how life works, all has our own secrets and has to keep it private, shame is not the word i would use, maybe prejudices and because it is like throwing a boomerang, it will always come back and hit you

    But the forum is not real life so i dont think that applies here, i could have on the profile my Linkedin account or my profesional blog but i dont, i dont because if i do i wouldnt be able to tell that one of my fantasy is to be tied to the bed and left to sleep, yeah, nothing extreme but if someone can be able to join this account with my real life i would never tell here, thats the streng of an anonymous forum and why i think that shame/fear doesnt happen here or they shouldnt if they happen

    I wouldn’t call it shaming, but I have thrown out a few warnings. To each their own sure, but their is a question of responsibility, and since this is the Internet I feel it’s negligence to not warn someone of a particular activity if it can be harmful.

    Example: someone once started a thread on recipes for injection into their bladder. Coffee, whipped cream etc. This is inherently dangerous, and someone felt the need to warn them. I’ve seen the same thing with hormone advice, messing with the endocrine system is dangerous and telling someone to take unperscribed medications on a site such as this is dangerous.

    Yes most people know better than to put food in their bladder, take medication without being informed, or cutting off your balls yourself...but some do not have the common sense that separates most. It’s a big wide web and I would hate to help someone that was intellectually slow hurt themselves.

    As long as it isn’t dangerous or illegal, shaming is just rude, warnings about danger is I would hope a welcome.

    I personally don't agree with being passive when something can be debunked, information corrected from an argumentative point of view. I can't know what the posts in question were about and how they were formulated, but there is indeed an increasing tendency of being offended when it's not the case while other times strong arguments about a subject are dismissed as being shaming
    Not being ideologically affiliated and fighting for transsexual people rights brought me so many contradictory tags that i almost felt being a character in the bible.
    So yeah, there is shaming, but without an actual example it's hard to debate. I saw the link to watersports as being a potential one. Really now...watersports is a much bigger fetish than chastity which is the scope of this website.
    Oh well...going back to rubbing my fur to someone's legs if i find any ^_^

    I really appreciate all the messages on this thread. There are some valid points made by all.
    I would like to point out though I am only talking about making people feel bad about their personal preferences, especially if a warning was given beforehand on a post.
    I am very much for people being given advice and helping them if dangerous or bad decisions look evident.
    However, flat out making people feel wrong about their preferences I do not agree with.

    I don't know what specific posts are being referenced (and I don't really care!) but there must be a line drawn between shaming and humiliation, which, for me, is an important part of my experience. If I were not experiencing humiliation and some embarrassment for my unconventional status as a caged sissy, this life would be far less interesting and fun.

    @Mascara^Snake there is a line between humiliation and shaming. A fine one I admit but there is one.
    When that line is crossed and the shaming becomes personal then yes it’s problem.
    By this I mean when someone who’s interests they do not share and belittling of someone they do not know directly offend that person then it’s a problem.
    Shaming someone’s interests and making them feel like they can no longer express themselves in a place they regard as a safe haven is a problem with me. I do not speak for everyone but this is my personal opinion.

    So ultimately the person with the shaming fetish loses out due to an inability to express themselves?

    @Mascara^Snake the last statement I made was that this is my opinion. You are entitled to yours as is everyone else.
    I’m also of the opinion you like to needlessly carry on things when it’s no longer necessary, but as I said, it’s just my opinion.

    @Mascara^Snake so it’s okay to push your shaming fetish onto an unsuspecting forum post because you enjoy it. Rather than creating a shaming thread for people who enjoy that to discuss and be shamed.

    Brings to mind a 'rule' I learned as a kid ... the 'Golden Rule':
    "Treat others the way you would like to be treated."

    Well, that sounds all well and fine - but i know my wife would not like to experience tease & denial even a fraction of the time I'd like to be.

    Perhaps "Treat others the way they want to be treated" is a more accurate rule.

    But then ...
    What if I wanted to be bound tight and caned & she didnt want to do that? Would it be fair for me to ask that of her?

    So then ...
    How about forget rules.
    How about an ongoing communication for determining the dynamics of ones own relationship that is based on mutual consent and respect.
    How about acceptance, tolerance and encouragement for the choices another makes for their relationship.
    How about not belittling another for whatever the reason.

    And of course for me, in the event an accord can not be reached in that moment, the tie goes to the lady.
