Another Tangent... re: 24/7 D/s scene...

I'm ok with folks having their own private 24/7 D/s scene going on... 
and maybe ok in some public settings, where there is a least tacit 
consent to public displays of sexuality... and completely ok with it at 
places designated for such activities (like play clubs, Beltanes, poly 
camps, Lifestyle events, various adult summer camps).

But in what you've written, the 24/7 scene where one brings ones slave 
to church on a leash, and it is explicitly a sexual experience for 
them... I'm left wondering if that's not very "Welcoming" to most 
community members.  :)

I mean, I'd think it pretty inappropriate to be fornicating at church, 
so why would this expression of sexuality be ok. 

And I'm distinguishing this from other forms of common PDA, since it's 
declared as a sexual experience.

I don't know, it walks a fine line for me.  I'd feel like I was in the 
wrong place, the wrong group of folks.  Not my style... kind of like a 
hippy at a goth event.
