America confuses me at times. Well, a lot of times - but specifically in a country so litigious that they are able to run something like this (signing waivers accepted) and going off-topic their lax by our standards machinery guarding rules. (Apart from electrically). Interesting article though. Wonder how something like this would fly in the UK? Sounds a nightmare to run, planning for every eventuallity of reaction from the punters, from medical issues to someone getting punchy. Still - opening night would be fun - free tickets for our favourite journalists? "Me? I'm all about the hugs. | |

Very interesting, and an anciently old concept. There was a short story by Isaac Asimov called 'Nightfall'. It's about the way that people choose to be frightened. How we opt into things like theme park rides to trigger flight or fight responses. It focussed on a very extreme 'ride'. I wonder how many of the people who attend these places are interested in extreme sports and are adrenalin junkies.

The US is such a place of contradictions. In the Sunday Independent there is an article on how the US hated the TV show "Skins" considering it to be too graphic, and wanted it toned down. Then there is this "theatre" event..such a contrast. The same country which freaks over a nipple, shoves CSI murder shows down our screens (I am not complaining, well not over the Grissom ones anyway). Anyway, to cut a long comment short. If you are into submissive games why pay to go a theatre and be bellowed at and grossed out? Find a consentual partner, or perhaps us Doms should start charging per session? T. | |

There are links to fear, 'fight or flight' and a feeling of sexual attraction too. In one study an 'attractive' female psychology student stopped men in the street to take part in a survey. She then repeated this, but at the middle of a famously high and long unstable footbridge (so famous I can't remember where it is, think it was an Indiana Jones style rope bridge). She reported that in the sevond test the men were a lot more flirty in their answers. "Me? I'm all about the hugs. | |

That was fascinating. It would be heaps of fun to organise and administer. |
