Okay, if you had to choose between being a prisoner or prison guard in a task/game. which would you chose and why?

Didn't they do this sorta thing for a major psychology test where they got a load of strangers together, paid them to go into a fictional prison and some were prisoners and some were guards....


..and the guards took themselves very seriously and actualy beat up the prisoners. They seriously believed they were guards?

guard of course, I'm not very submissive.

Um, is this a trick question?

thesexofit said:

yes it's an experiment and, ill find the link and another famous one where people had to give electric shocks (not real ones of course) to others for getting a wrong answer in a task.

Ill beat you into submission.

If 9s is the prisoner...I'll be the guard!

Ace said:

no, i was just wondering which people would choose and why, theyre doing it on BB. I thought it was interesting that certain people chose the prisoner and others the guard and why.

I would think it's for the same reason "Some of them want to abuse you/Some of them want to be abused" (as Annie Lennox sang).

woohooo!!!!!

me too.

We need more gurds like us

LleeLlee said:

Why would anyone want to be a prisoner? Isn't someones natural insticts is to guard?

Ace said:

yeah maybe, but it doesn't mean that youre not an assertive person if you choose prisoner, maybe you just want the experience.

LleeLlee said:

Throw him in the hole!!!

superspaceboy said:

why not?

Perhaps it allows you to rebel against authority.

I'd want to be a guard.

Why Sweeny?

LleeLlee said:

A lot of assertive people like to take the submissive role in the bedroom.

LleeLlee said:

I'd be scared to be a prisoner. I think those who think they are guards would beat me up and try to humiliate me if I was a fake prisoner. I wouldn't like that very much.

LleeLlee said:

WHo gave him food?

Ace said:

Yeah but... a submissive is really the one in control in the bedroom.

superspaceboy said:

Sweeny79 said:

If you think so.

superspaceboy said:

I think I'd prefer to be a prisoner.

Ace said:

I do think so and stop whacking my bum!

Ace said:

yes, maybe not all the time though, I dont know.

Sweeny79 said:

I think it's a partnership. Submissives can certainly set the limits, but the right dominant can help 'push' those.

Sweeny79 said:

That does it! You're on slop this week!

Ace said:

Hide your toothbrush.

Sweeny79 said:

Thats true, when people put on a uniform the authoritarian takes over.

..But not all guards would be like that.
