What will BDSM fantasies be like under communism/anarchism?

Where do I sign up?

There would be little to no desire for it

Good question OP
Where empathy increases, BDSM descreases
Love how pro-"kink" feminists gave B e rnie a complete pass on his anti-sexual-domination rant that he actually still defends 'cuz they want their college degrees.

I thought couples into BDSM typically had more empathy towards each other?

This is generally false. To do BDSM right you have to deeply empathize with how the other person is feeling. Selfish people make terrible BDSM partners.

I think he has a point though. Drugs aren't that illuminating, but this bluelight experience got me thinking.

"Have you ever become suddenly turned off (and saddened) by BDSM because you were high on MDMA or ecstasy? Because this is what happened to my wife and I the other day.

We took it at the same time and started getting kinky right away, not waiting for the high to hit us. It hit me first, while I was giving her some lashings (she’s a masochistic sub and I’m a sadistic dom) and all of a sudden what I was doing made me feel very sad. I knew intellectually that I had her consent and she was feeling pleasure, but on an emotional level I felt the grief that I would feel if my wife was being whipped without consent and she was feeling devastated.

I stopped whipping her and switched into a different bdsm scene. But again the same thing happened… I felt grief as if my wife were being abused. But I continued on with it because she was into it and I wanted to seem like the big strong unemotional dominant that she is used to me being.

In the middle of this the MDMA hit her. And she had the same reaction. I could tell she stopped enjoying the bdsm and a couple minutes later she said her safe word. We tried doing some light domination stuff, me ordering her around, but even that was upsetting to us. So we just stopped and cuddled (at least the MDMA made THAT wonderful). It took about half an hour to feel better and then we just had vanilla sex, which was extremely passionate. The rest of the high we just spent chatting and dancing in the living room.

Later on I remembered that like ten years ago I took pure MDMA at a club and was still high when I got home, and started watching porn. It was BDSM porn but instead of turning me on as it usually did, it made me feel sad. I’d forgotten about that until now. "

I get the feeling that using a drug that seriously fucks with your emotional state is the best point of reference for how people might react in different situations while sober.

is not* the best point of reference

There will be this really kinky, humiliating fetish where people voluntarily submit themselves to doing menial, degrading tasks while others watch, yell at them and steal the fruits of their work; but before even getting to this stage, the participants have to beat out other candidates for the same position by proving to the overseer how much they really, really want the position; and if you don’t do a good enough job or don’t get picked for the position then you’re forced to go without food or shelter. All voluntary of course.

The same it is now but maybe more people doing it because they aren't afraid of losing their jobs and better toys for the average person.

What you're describing are emotions assumed for a situation that you weren't experiencing, and then you experienced them.

Your emotional state changed, possibly naturally but highly probably based on outside perceptions of your fetish that neither you nor your partner had. It might have been that you both simply did not feel like it, anylonger, it could also be you had your own individual emotions overwritten.

That you were engaged in something as strongly symbolic as whipping probably didn't make it better. It doesn't really mean anything, though, and certainly doesn't say anything about bdsm in general.

What I've noticed when looking at communities and fantasies stemming from them, is that there seems to be a pretty clear difference between more basic enjoyment of pain, and elaborate structures where the actual pain and pleasure, is not the point - but some sort of weird reliving or even experiencing for the first time of humiliation or control. Where the 'superstructure' I guess, of the fantasy, becomes the primary point, instead of the parts that form it.

If all your kink is tied to that grander fantasy, then a change of your consciousness at that time and no longer being engaged in it, will make you look at the acts themselves with no appeal or attraction.

Contrasting this to actually feeling pleasure from painful things without needing a fantasy. You also don't need to always do something, to be into it, obviously.

I think you might actually be right about that. People enjoy similar things for wildly different reasons in the fetish communities.
