Not to long ago I saw the big media hoopla about Prince Henrydressing as an SS soldier and the half of My duality that tendstowards being judgemental (though it thinks itself to be liberal) fora brief second was offended as the media dictated I should be...The other half of Me, the half that is truely liberal (yet liberalsdon't think it to be nor does this half of Myself concider itself tobe liberal) sought to fight for the underdog...no matter howpolitically incorrect it seemed to be.So where did this half of Me wander before forming it's less hasty,societaly programmed opiniion of the situation? It started toreference the dark element of the human race that is seldom seen inan honest light anywhere other than in BDSM, and particularly pro-domination.It's funny, submissives, masochists and fetishists will open up aboutthings to a pro-domme that they won't even admit to in a lifestylesituation...and one such thing is the existance of racial humiliationfetishism, and other simular situations in which a person is non-consensually persecuted in the vanilla world, yet in the dungeon thesame racist biggotted humiliation turns from a miserable reality intoa hot fantasy.Being that I look like the epitomy of the German frauline it is nobig surprise that there has been some request that I role-play avery "Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS" type. What might shock you is justwho it almost always is that has such a fantasy request...jews.It isn't just the jews and their fantasy of the darkest moment oftheir cultures past. I have bared played with black men who want tobe plantation slaves. This is not easy for some to do, much lessunderstand.Though I personally was able to digest these fetishes easy I had areally difficult time accepting a related fetish had by some gay boysthat want to be "bot bitches" to homo-phobic neo nazis.Many confuse such a fetish with someone being full of self loathing,but I can offer up some other theories on the subject. I cannot denythat some do self loath, but not all people who share this fetishrole-play come from such a dark place. As with all things in theworld, especially BDSM, there is just as much a chance that itoriginated in a negative place as there is that it came from anuetral place or even a positive one.So where might these things unlikely fetishes come from?My first hypothesis is that where an anglo-saxon protestant hetero-sexual male has always had a multitude of media fantasies of fetishesof Femme Dommes to reference, such as comic booc heros and villains,and catholic martyrs these other submissives didn't have suchreadily available fantasy inspiration.A modern jewish submissive doesn't have much exposure to catholicguilt and all the millions of sado-masochistic images that greatlyinfluence the stereo-typical dungeon scene, they don't have theSpanish inquisition...and though they could go back as far as theanciant Egyptian culture dominating jewish slaves it is far morereasonable to reference the most modern events that could paralelslavery...the nazis.The black submissive is much the same as the jewish submissive inthis way. To look at the movie screne and see a very anglo-mansuffering to a woman is not as easy to project himself into the roleas it is to that of one that is part of their cultural history.Imagining themself under the whip of a lusty, wanton plantationMistress is much less a stretch.The gay submissive male has their whole own reason. With neo-nazineanderthal gay bashing and other crimes against gays so fresh thereis not just the intensity of such a brutal scene for the most hard-core gay subby...but there is also a sense of triumph and justicewhen they seduce a homophobic brute to accept them as a "boot boy",especially when they break such a "Master" to the point that they areallowed to sexually service them, not just take humiliation andtorture. Unfortunately this fantasy turned reality has often gonebad when the homophobic top suddenly realises that he is infact aparticipant in gay sex, much less that he enjoys it.In My further seeking to understand such a fetish (which is harderbeing an anglo-saxon protestant/germanic woman with no shortage ofimagery to reference about My upbringings) I started to look forcounter parts to this phenomena...I was amused to find out about an Armenian Mistress in the LosAngeles area that specialises in owning and getting some sense ofjustice through her stable of Turkish slaves.I also started to think of the white male submissive that has atendency towards man-hating dyke Mistresses, or even more than thatthe white male who only seeks to serve a black Mistress who lays iton thick for the lack of civil rights of in the last decade for blackpeople in a white male dominated society.Of course this isn't exclussively a male pattern of behavior. Thesetheories can also be applied, though less strongly, to the femalesubmissive who sems to favor the Male dominant that has little regardfor any woman as an equal, especially a Dominant female.It is truely fascinating how the psychology of sexuality can turn theterrors and nightmares of reality into some of the hottestfantasies. Keep in mind that though someone fantasizes about thsethings sexually, and plays them out in consensual roleplay, a healthyindividual knws the difference between the fantasy and the reality,and usually detests such mistreatment in the vanilla world.Do you have any fantasies that share this same dynamic? Does a darkpart of your past, or your culture's history manifest itself in yoursexual games?Can you think of other examples of fetishes and roleplay that share this root?Can you think of other possible originsof such "politically incorrect" kink?
