    it’s pretty solidly in the fantasy only* realm lol. kinda like giantess, transformation, monster girl, etc. people know it’s not gonna happen IRL. that’s probably why these types of kinks seem overrepresented on the internet, as opposed to more logistically feasible things like consensually hitting each other, outfits, etc.

    *i mean at least in this century

      I don’t think hitting is under represented AT ALL on the internet. 20 years ago you would only see that if you followed BDSM links. Now it’s everywhere.

        oh yeah my point was that things that can’t really be done IRL because of physical/legal/ethical limitations tend to be “overrepresented” (the amount of material seems to me to be more prevalent than the number of people that seem to be into it) as a function of the fact that such things can’t be performed IRL therefore virtual spaces are the only outlet

        whereas you can go to a bdsm club and hit people IRL, so the internet is only one of at least two valid outlets for expressing it

        the amount of porn featuring impact play never seemed to me to be overrepresented on the internet, but now that I’m thinking about it I’m a pretty biased person to be evaluating that, because I’ve been in the bdsm community most of my adult life lol

        I was like, “that sounds like Armin Mewes.” Checked the link preview and thought, “that looks like Armin Mewes!” Then read the content preview and saw that I was spelling his name wrong in my head.

        I remember reading about that in high school and thinking, “at least he found a consenting victim, or something…?”

          Yeah it’s rahter benign, they both got what they wanted. But it doesn’t really gel with the mores.

          A similar, but less extreme point could be made about euthanasia and abortion, although the consensuality can be denid there.

          I really don’t see any problem if someone truely wants to be eaten. as long as others aren’t unwittingly involved.

          Ethics gets really weird tho

          If I remember correctly, they went to the bathroom and put ice on Bernd’s weiner to make the area numb, before Armin cut it off. Then they cooked and attempted to eat it over a candle lit dinner. However, the consistency of weiner is apparently so chewy, that it is inedible. Bernd was, if I remember correctly, fading in and out of consciousness during, due to bloodloss and he was in terrible pain too.

          I forget if they attempted to cut more pieces off of Bernd while he was still alive or if Bernd agreed to die after that failed dinner. I know they were intimate and that a lot of it was filmed, as well as the murder. Armin cooked and ate him over a period of time, storing his dismembered body in a freezer.

          Bernd took part in the cannibilization of himself before his death, which is partially why that whole case was so friggin bizarre because it was all consensual. It just doesn’t hold up in court, thankfully.

          It’s been awhile, so I’m probably misremembering some details, but this is the roundabout way I remember this case. It was massive and everybody talked about it for years.

          I also remember some horror director making a movie, recreating the entire crime from beginning to end, which was very controversial. For some reason my mind is pointing at Harmony Korine, but I’m not sure. He’s always the first director I think about when it comes to fuck up movie projects, lol.

          But yeah. Crazy case.
