Black Cuckold Couple

This blog is 18+ because of sexual content. I’m fairly sure there are underaged people reading this. You might be wildly underaged, you might be a few days under 18. But I’m gonna ask you to stop reading my blog. I’m fairly sure that for a number of underaged people who read this, will feel that I am in some way impugning their maturity. I’m not.

All societys have some way to mark adulthood. Those things almost never had to do with emotional maturity but the physical ability to accomplish something. Being able to survive alone for a period of time. Killing something. Being able to participate in some aspect of religious faith. For the most part in American society these rituals tend to be parts of subcultures or family traditions.

Which means they don’t carry much weight in society at large. The day my father let me have my first beer was hugely significant in how I viewed myself as a child and an adult. But it wouldn’t have carried much sway with a cop if he busted me drinking at a party. As a society, we’ve changed this ritual to going to sleep and waking up. Not as cool as killing a boar but a bit more practical and less discriminatory. But that act of going to sleep and waking up still carries with it that same symbolism.

And that symbolism has power. We treat people over 18 differently. We grant them greater power and control over their life as a society. Your parents might not. Go kill it boar, it might help with that. But society treats you differently. You very well may not be more mature then the day before. I recall my 18th birthday and I will point out that I got less mature between 18 to 21.

For most acts in the BDSM community, elements of power play are involved. I assure you, the dumbest, most blissed out, edged till she’s barely functional bimbo in the community has a better instinctual understanding of power dynamics then most vanilla people, even if listening to them express it is more amusing then you can imagine. And may involve way too much glitter.

But for that power play to work, a dom and a sub need to start out in positions that are close to equal. And the relationship between and adult and someone not yet an adult is fraught with inequality. Is it gonna be horrible for the 18 year old dating the 17 year old? Not really. But is it going to be unequal for the 17 year old dating the 35 year old? Yes, oh god yes. Might you be at equal levels of maturity? Sure. But there is a positional power difference. And while all positional power differences are artificial, that doesn’t make them less real.
