OK, I've mentioned this on a couple of other threads, and this is my attempt to raise it as a separate issue. Do we want a Ministry of BDSM, which might be able to function as a governing body for us, and also to serve as a go-between between us and the Muggle government? The Ministry might be able to sort out all kinds of issues, and enshrine in law the answers to such quandries as a universal dresscode, an acceptible level of alcohol intake, and the rightness or not of certain practices, such as (for instance) the sucking of a sub's nipples. And having passed these laws, it could enforce them; there could be BDSM lisences to practice, and there could be stiff penalties for, say, spanking one's lover if one hadn't kept the payments up; we would at least be putting our house in order. In fact, there might be a party system; for instance the BD Party and the SM Party, and they could each pass laws to disenfranchise the other; under an SM dominated administration perhaps, liscenes could be revoked if the holders weren't sustaining enough marks. Switching could be sorted out at a stroke, because it would be illegal to hold a Dom/me and a sub/be lisence (can you really imagine any ministry allowing both?). Tops that bottom in secret in these relatively free times would have a proper reason for concealing their fetish for being locked up - they might get really locked up! I'm not sure that this would be such fun, so I'm taking a bit of a risk raising it, in case it happens. Night of the Cane, (probably) the best corporal punishment party in the world, takes place on Saturday 21st Novemeber. Edited Wed 11 Nov 09, 12:55 PM by Ishmael | ||

Also important to dictate what people can be turned on by in the first place, there really does have to be lines of decency involved I think Orwell hit on something wonderful without even realising it. I would certainly be interested in setting up some form of thought police. Oh and dress codes, never forget them. As twue as words spoken under interrogation. | ||

You just had to ask didn't you? Some government minister lurking on here as a toilet slave is going to suggest it and we'll be getting taxed to hell for every bloody crack of a whip, or for making the subs breathe heavily and increasing their CO2 emmissions... Next thing we know there will be a bruise duty that goes up like fuel duty, MPs will be claiming for a second sub allowance and the rest of us will be priced out of the clubs...

Naa, we just need to start the uninted church of BDSM, have all scene sexuality / practice defined as religeous ceremonies and they won't be able to touch us and all dungeons will be tax exempt as places of worship.
That way you can have as many images of people nailed to things as you like and it'll even be legal to sell them to worshippers
After all we all use the term worship rather a lot so let's make it legal Wayne Politicians are like nappies | ||

What uniforms would these thought police wear, and would being aroused by them be against teh law (which would make it a cool job - if so, I'm in)?
