Renal -> How can I know if he is the right Dom? (6/16/2007 12:32:00 PM)
Obviously only by talking to each other is not enough, then how soon would you begin to play with your potential sub? and as you two havent really known each other's interests well, how to start playing? Usually, how long will the play last, a month, or 2 months b4 2 people can come to the conclusion if they are right for D/s? Thanks

There isn't any one answer.

Follow your instincts and intuition. If it feels wrong, then it probably is. http://www.collarchat.com/m_667467/mpage_1/key_The%252Cright%252Cone/tm.htm#667478 The Right One

i agree...i never knew exactly when "play" should happen....most men i spoke with wanted it on date number 2...LOL...so its a very good question...i just don't have the answer...i guess like a vanilla thing...how soon would you sleep with someone you were dating?

Hello Renal Welcome to the CM forums. As Level stated, there isnt any set way or amount of time to do any activity in BDSM relationships. My advice is look at it from a non BDSM point of view - how quickly would you get involved with someone outside what it is that we do? Don't feel that there is any set way. You may meet an s-type who you may find slow is good. You may meet one and end up playing on the first 'date'. If it feels right, go with it - just take the correct precautions (contraception, safe calls, protection etc) depending on what type of play you encounter. the.dark.

It's just not something that you can answer for someone else. The easiest way to answer it for yourself and your partner is to communicate and be totally open. Person A needs this, that, and that to be fulfilled. Person B needs those things too, but also needs an unspecified amount of time to be comfortable. Person C needs both thats, and is ready to go ASAP. I can't tell you how to know any of that. Only you can answer for yourself, and only your partner can answer for themselves.

In my humble opinion it should be a slow careful process. If a Dom wants to collar you after the first meeting then something is not right. As stated above if it doesnt feel right it most likely isnt. Trust your instincts. Ask your potential Dom what his expierence is. Who is mentor is/was. Is he active in the local community. Good luck in your journey!

Thanks My Daddy, and I met five years ago..... play didn't start until a little over two months ago... we are still in the testing phase... and will probably be in the testing phase for quite awhile. kittin

quote: ORIGINAL: Renal I just want to know how Doms/subs usually do...as I'm new to this...and it confuses me... there is nothing wrong with being new... and definitely nothing wrong with this confusing you.... and frankly.... as long as you feel rather confused about things.... that is a good indication to say no to any meaningful commitment and/or even casual play. Give yourself time to learn abit about things. Give yourself time to feel more confident of things. Give yourself time.

As has been said, there is really no answer to that question, except it depends on the two people involved. If you've clicked so well that you feel comfortable on the first meeting...the go with it. It may take another day, another week, or another month...just depends on the two people, what they are looking for, and how much they discussed before they met. It's totally an individual thing

FLMaster1958 -> RE: How can I know if he is the right Dom? (6/17/2007 2:48:36 PM)
I think there is only one answer to this....Trust. You are trusting him with your body.. to use you .. to control you.. to punish you. Do you trust him to keep you safe? Do you trust him to keep his word? If you are a parent, do you trust him with your child and to keep the child away from your real relationship? This takes time to build. And as far as I am concerned, it must be trust before love. If you fall in love, love is blind. He may do things that show him as untrustworthy, and you will never see it.

As others suggest, it depends. What does it depend on? Experience - newbies often take longer to feel comfortable playing, and formalizing D/s relationships Depth of Interest - Some people are casual players. Others eat, sleep, breathe, and live BDSM and D/s. Ironically, casual players probably will involve 'play' sooner, since it represents a far less heavy committment. Chemistry - Some people just 'trigger' us faster. Two very shy people probably won't play quickly. Very outgoing people might play sooner. Opportunity - if your playspace doubles as your toddler's playspace (or your parents bedroom) you could very well be waiting a while. In the end, the comfort factor is usually the defining aspect. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Enjoy! Stephan

Knowing he was right for me was much much less about play and much more about getting to know each other as human beings. overall compatibility. Values, goals. World views. Passions, and I don't mean play. Pleasures, and I don't mean play. And all this developed over time. Also knowing eh was right was about working through difficult things over the longer haul. building a foundation. Until then he was a guy I really enjoyed playing with while I continued to see other guys. But that's me and based upon what I wanted in the long run. As you know, this is an individual journey.

If you can I would attend some munches and start going to some play parties. Take your time, watch people, see who interests you, find out about them. Also, look at your past relationships and their patterns, if you make good choices in partners I would say don't take as much time, if you don't tend to pick good partners, I would take my time, watch and learn. Play a game and pick a couple of people in your head and then see how those choices change over a couple of months. If you still like them, walk up and talk to them, ask them to play with you at a party, see how it goes. There is perfect answer but there are a lot of bad options, going slowly never killed anyone and very rarely breaks a heart.

How does anyone truely know anything.. Sometimes its a leap of faith that is needed.

My rule of thumb is a minimum of knowing the other person three months before playing (if you are referring to "play" as "sex") so as to keep the false expectation out of it. If have done it much sooner than that ... but with age comes wisdom (hopefully). When one focuses on sex, it blinds one to potential pitfalls of the relationship. Get past the blissful newness of the thing before you go poking around in someone else's private parts.

Excellent point. And to add: Basically, it boils down to chemistry. (And the more you get to know someone, the better it will be.)
