kink and humor.
of course there's room for humor in kink. and perhaps vice versa.
"tragedy is when i stub my toe. comedy is when you fall into an open manhole and die." - mel brooks
doesn't this sound like a top to you?
comedy is often an expression of status and superiority - haha you fell down, haha you so want to get out of those cuffs, don't you.
[FLASH! CB devices and The Satyricon, where encolpius has the chance to tumble all these beautiful women and boys but he can't because he's cursed with impotence by priapus, so he can't get it up. a CB device does the opposite, yes? you can get it up, but you can't DO anything about it. CB devices are funny, c.f. marian's big iron underwear in Men In Tights. denial is funny - oh, oh you want it don't you? but you can't. tee hee.]
and yet i can get totally derailed by humor clashing with kink.
truism: kink can get both serious and dangerous. and it's hard being a top if you're klutzy.
argh personal rant. it's also hard feeling like a top if your dad can still yell at you and make you clean up the living room. i lost my train of thought. drat.
