A Discussion on Personal Responsibility in the Kink Scene, Negotiation, and Play

(X-posting with FetLife profile...)

Okay, I was writing up some stuff as a comment to a writing on FetLife... and I realized that I kinda went off on a tangent for a long damn time... so instead of posting it as a comment that could derail extensively, here's my own writing.  I'm intentionally not linking this to other writings/blogs, because it should be able to speak for itself.  This is also not specific to hypnokink, but is to kink in general (I seem to be on a roll with that lately)...

Trigger warning regarding "personal responsibility."  I do not intend to "victim blame" or the like here, though I can not promise wording won't feel that way at some points.  I request that, if something feels like it's "victim blaming" here, that you read all the way through before making such a judgment.  (Spoilers: a writing with a title mentioning "Personal Responsibility" talks about personal responsibility)

Everyone involved in a scene is a human being first, and my intention is to speak to the human factor, the human aspect, not the fantasy, but the reality.
