I miss the 90s S&M Scene

What passes for s&m today is really just slap and tickle with sprinklings of the old pure s&m like what we used to have back in the 90s, the golden age for that type of pain.

It's funny, I was reading some of the comments on youtube earlier tonight and somebody remarked, "It seems like today's spankings are a lot more gloomy and dark. Back in the 90s, spankings were happier and brighter and they made you feel good."

That really struck a chord in me. I hadn't realized it, but along with the elegant voices of yesterdecade, we -do- seem to have lost a lot of the optimism and fun factor in perverse sex (boy bondage notwithstanding of course).

Yes, I know the cyclical nature of fashion dictates that which was once popular will become passe` with the passage of time and there will be evolutions, declines, and occasional renaissances, but it does seem that for the American S&M scene at least, things aren't as kinky as they once were.

I imagine a lot of it comes from the awareness of latex allergies as an American problem now, rather than just "something that happens in other countries" and the ever widening gap between rich and poor in this nation, to say nothing of the gradual elimination of civil liberties and freedoms (at least as far as I see it). These create a fairly gloomy social atmosphere and world climate that in turn affects people's sex lives.

Maybe I'm just being a post 90s nostalgic here and maybe I'm talking out my ass, but I felt like bringing it up anyway to see what the good people of FOFC think (and inevitably wisecrack )

Then again, I have to strongly question what anybody wetting the bed over some of the unrelated stuff you cited knows about quality S&M anyway.

Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Nothing a ball gag won't cure.
