There is a trend of erotic content, (videos, stories, etc.) which focuses on one or more people have their sexual organs fondled in a painful and sadistic way.
Some people think that this is some kind of evolution of the BDSM genre.
While everyone can be comfortable with BDSM in varying proportions, i feel such content which could be termed "torture" is not a healthy trend.
I read about an actress who had performed in some such kind of video. She said that she wont do it again, because in addition to the "regular" possibility of bodily damage in her profession, such acts carried additional risks of injury because of the special gear involved and the inability of the performers to judge how much pain could the recipient endure.
A former friend whose bf was quite into such practices surprised me by telling that he had an "acquired taste" of torturing her. She told me it was like an addiction to him, the more he treated her that way, the more it turned him on.
What do you think?

Not my cup of tea at all.

I think your former friend's boyfriend is sick, and will probably become a serial killer. The whole idea of torture in any venue is reprehensible. Anyone who enjoys inflicting it is a psychopath!
I became involved in BDSM as a sub in 1975 when I was 17 with my first Dom. First it is not for everyone and no one should be forced into it or any other sexual genre they are not comfortable with. We have safe words for several of our sexual genres. I have not needed my safe word with Hubbie since our early days in the scene, which for us started in 1980. With my first Dom it was only used in the beginning also which set my limits. We probably do from 5 to 10 BDSM scenes that involve a higher degree of pain a month. This does not include just the use of nipple clips which are used in most of our sexual events.
We do not live the BDSM Lifestyle 24/7/365 but know some that do. I can tell you that for me when done within my limits the orgasms are much more intense, and produces more waves in an orgasm. The results of non BDSM erotic play also produce better orgasms for both or all of us in moresomes. Also all of our BDSM scenes do not involve pain. We consider Hubbie offering me to others as part of our BDSM play. Also being restrained in stocks during a gang bang as BDSM play even if no pain is involved.
The two stories I have posted is about my first gang bang which included being restrained. There was a lot of new BDSM events for me that weekend which I have not written a story for yet. Until I was introduced to BDSM with or without pain, I would not have thought it would be a turn on.
Most people do not realize the sub is controlling the scene in a mutual consentual scene. If it is not done with mutual consent from all involved then it could be considered domestic violence, or an assault, or worse.
So it is No, I do not find it disturbing when conducted with mutual consent.

I am sure Nola is more experienced than I.
However I had some experience and it has brought me a get deal of pleasure.
If you are going to pass in the this world on a regular basis or just on occasion. You need to know your limits of accepting pain and the rewards you expect from that pain. There must be absolute trust between the partners.
If thing are reversed, the same things need to be defined and the guidelines strictly adhered to.
An unusual topic...smile

The term "BDSM" is first recorded in a Usenet posting from 1991,[1] and is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D (Bondage and Discipline), D/s (Dominance and submission), and S/M (Sadism and Masochism).
BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or (role-playing) involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission...Not mutilation, in any form.
If you are causing blood to spill, or unwanted pain, then it has just crossed the line, and is no longer considered BDSM.
Anyone who thinks that some forms of BDSM do have these types of actions?
Is wrong, and either has never had a real Mistress or Master, but only cyber fantasy,
or is into something else that would be considered torture, in which they show signs of psychotic tendencies, either from genetic abnormalities,
or simply immature, immoral parenting, and bad role-modeling to cause anyone to get joy from giving, or receiving torturous acts.
noun: role playing; noun: rôle playing; plural noun: rôle playings; noun: roleplaying; noun: role-playing; plural noun: role-playings

the acting out of the part of a particular person or character, for example as a technique in training or psychotherapy.
Psychology
the unconscious acting out of a particular role in accordance with the perceived expectations of society.
2.

Yes, of course torture is disturbing, erotic or not. If we are talking literally about the (topic) which is (torture and sadistic acts)?
No one here in their right mind can sugar-coat it with sweet sounding terms of painful pleasure, or relate torture to BDSM in any way.
BDSM is Role-playing, and is a voluntary action by all who practice it. If it isn't voluntary by all who participate? Then it is not BDSM.
Torture, in any form, erotic or not, is a forced action on another person in which they don't wish...There is no like comparison in these two meanings.
I do however, completely agree that torture should be used against any immoral muslim terrorist extremists, also anyone who only supports it,
and anyone who doesn't speak out against it, which probably includes the rest of them who worship their evil moon cult.
But that isn't the topic is it?...smile

I find it quite troubling how in a thread about consensual extreme play, people casually mention how they'd like to see suspects and their supporters tortured (no consensus there and you might be a suspect one day or seen as a supporter) or captives shot. I sure don't want to live a place like that.
