So I was merrily searching tumblr earlier and came across a video that I simply had to share. The basic premise is that this guy got together a bunch of his friends and filmed them slapping each other.....
Yes I know how absolutely insane that sounds. But my question to the lovely people of Milovana is would you do this? I know we have plenty of people here who like pain and who are into all sorts of different things.
So watch the video..... And tell me your thoughts
"To anyone who has stood at someones side and looked into the abyss and found both charm, attraction and love, for we are not made up only of our light and happiness but also our darkness and sorrow. To deny the darkness of yourself is to deny half of who you are, and when you love, truly love, you need to love the whole person not just the part that smiles and waves, but the part that thinks murderous thoughts and knows that pain is both pleasure and temptation, but still thinks puppies are really cute" -LKH
"I am Nature's arm. Her spirit. Her will. Hell, I am Mother Nature, and the time has come for plants to take back the world so rightfully ours! 'cause it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.- Poison Ivy
"I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos"- Jared and the Long Road to Love
"You do what we want, or I will peel your mind away like the layers of an onion. You DO believe I can do that, don't you?"- Nikolaos
When I first watched this I thought it was kind of weird, I don't know why, and not in a bad way. I guess face slapping is something I have always considered as an admonishment. And to see people doing it in a friendly and relaxed situation was odd. I totally get the reactions though, there seemed to be a cathartic release for a lot of them in doing something that is socially unacceptable in most situations.

I would very much like to do this, if it was off-camera.
Preferably partnered up with a female. (slapping guys is much less illegal for some reason ;) )
If I did it however, It should be serious.
I'd slap her hard, and I expect of her to do the same to me.
From the video, I also get the impression that the girls slap harder on the guys than the other way around.

Indeed, Banquo.
You are for once allowed to do something that can't normally be done, in a fully consensual way.
There's no need to feel guilty, since they can slap you right back.

I would feel quite comfortable being slapped but not so comfortable slapping someone....
However here's 1 for you:
We are no longer all together as one but separate mental patients, that yearn to be ejected out of this poisoned atmosphere to a warm bed and a friendly therapist.
These people are actors, hayley jo osment, was the star of pay it forward and one of the girls is silver in the 90210, either this guy has famous friends or its fake, famous friends is a definite possibility though
I was struck at how gleeful some of the participants were immediately after slapping someone, and a few after being slapped. There was a certain liberation from social norms. However, that made it even more interesting to see what social norms they continued to display, including gender roles, status roles, and even based on size. Humans are innately social and it is very difficult for us filter out our cues, behaviors, and biases. A lot of this relates to the Milovana experiment and community with exploration of gender, dominance, submission, etc. And, it shows why so many are so gleeful about being able to be liberated from typical social norms, even if online and somewhat anonymously.
Ok...now this was interesting I have to say. Didn't know what to expect from this, but after reading the intro I didn't think I would watch the video. Slapping in the face of someone else is something you just don't do normally.
But I was intrigued so I started watching...and kept watching till the end. I have to say I actually enjoyed watching the video because of one simple fact it: These people had a LOT of fun doing this and they show it.
There was nothing mean about these slaps (even though some were quite rough).
