[QUOTE=DoctorJ] (Something about the phrase “crotchless pantaloons” really cracks me up.) [/QUOTE] Well, in the 19th century, when pantaloons for women were introduced, crotchless was the only choice, at least at first. ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] WWJS - Who Would Jesus Spank? [/QUOTE] I just got the MOST sacrilegious mental image of Pontius Pilate with a cat-o-nine tails, whispering into Jesus’ ear: “Who’s your daddy? Hmmm? Who’s your daddy, bitch?” :eek: ---

[QUOTE=Queen Bruin] I am having simultaneous fits of hilarity and rage as I read this website. [/QUOTE] Exactly how I feel. The double standard pisses me off no end. The smug arrogance implicit in the assumption that “The MAN knows best” is just too much. If it were simply one particular couples idea of role-playing, I wouldn’t mind so much. But they’re trying to sell abusive misogyny as a legitimate spiritual lifestyle, endorsed by Gawd (who speaks English). ---

Well, I was going to come into this thread and say that they’ve turned something hot and fun into something offensive and patronizing. But, then, I’m a bird-brained female and I have no husband to check with to see if my opinion is OK, so I guess I’ll just ask: any Christian men want to spank some sense into me? _flutters eyelashes_ ---

> [@](#): > > How do Mormon diapers fit into this? Can they play too, or are they not Xtian. Mormons don’t have “diapers”. The have The Garment. I understand that originally these extended to the wrists and ankles, like long underwear, but the current version is more abbreviated, going to lower thigh and partway down the arm – like longer versions of boxers and T-shirts. They have some characteristic holes and features, as well, and it’s all very symbolic. If you work at it, you can find very detailed descriptions by ex-Mormons. I’ve seen plenty of the male version in locker rooms in Utah. None of this is related to CDD at all. But, in my experience, LDS folk are very sexy people within their own marriages. It wouldn’t surprise me if some were playing light B&D games.
