Contracts?
Is this something that only a hardcore kinkster would bring up, maybe someone in the middle? Is there no rhyme or reason to those who want contracts and those who will not?
When I initially started my journey into BDSM, a lot of the research that I looked into spoke of contracts. These contracts seem to help protect both/multiple parties to make sure that rules and limits are respected, no one is slandered, or outed.
For instance, there will be legal recourse if a partner that decides they want to mess up their ex-partner’s life by outing him/her/they to important business partners. It could also set into standard how a master may allow slave to keep a certain % of their check or even hard limits.
This seems like it would be really useful tool that people in kink would want to take advantage of. Right? But I rarely hear anything about it, why?
Is this similar to back in the day when asking if somebody had a condom was seen as prudish because “God forbid I can just pull out 😓”
Like you want to ask for a contract, but you don’t want to be the one to seem “prudish” for doing so? Is this something that should be expected when people get a little closer to being within a relationship? Online relationships included?
So, what’s the deal with contracts, and why don’t I see/hear anyone really talking about them?
