So would I, if I'd only seen the site (and the book of short stories) they link to; my first reaction to learning of CDD was kind of a shocked horror. I got over it, obviously.
But then I saw this site, and...it's not my cup of tea, but they're *very* clear about their lifestyle being a consensual choice, not something imposed on them from above:
At this website, we believe that the Bible neither requires OR forbids corporal correction of wives.
And it's a group of women, creating a space to discuss their own chosen lifestyle, as well as running a lulu.com store to sell their fiction. I'm personally having a hard time seeing any aspect of that as coercive, abusive, or any less valid than other kinks. Hmmmm.
I don't mean to alarm anyone, but if you search for "Christian Lifestyle" under yahoo groups, the first two results are Naturist-Christians-org (which features one naked man and four naked women on its front page; not immediately suggestive of a Christian lifestyle, I'd have thought, but what do I know?) and christiandomesticdiscipline.
Moving on to the unintentionally funny: I stumbled across Brothers-Keepers, which is one of those "Christian" groups saving men from The Gay. How, you might be asking, can I possibly find a homophobic site funny? Well, I don't find it funny that it exists, but I did howl with laughter over the very homoerotic Jesus picture they've chosen for their front page. Dudes. Could you have found anything more slashtastic?
