This is Darcy As .dark. has mentioned already, we have a profile which clearly states that we are not looking, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a profile because we are both sociable people and love interaction. We complement and interact very well indeed with each other, but I would never even contemplate not allowing .dark. to have friendships and interactions outside of our relationship. Yes, of course I'm wonderful and smart and intelligent and all of that [;)] but if you cut off all external stimulii then how will you ever learn about anything? Many times I have been enlightened and educated by .dark., and due to her posting far more often than I on CM she often regales me with tales of what is happening in the threads and with whom she has been sparring, interacting or just chatting with. To believe that a sub/slave/pet needs no other human stimulus and input that your own is breathtakingly arrogant, and more than a little self-deluding. There's nothing wrong with arrogance of course, I thrive on it myself from time to time, but I would never be so blinkered as to believe that .dark. needs no other input that that which I give her. In my eyes, the real strength of being a Master or a Dominant to somebody is not having to blatantly display it. Those who crow and preen about their positions are in my eyes the ones who seem to be the most uncertain as to whether they really feel that way. The most impressive Masters/Doms that I have met are those who have need to introduce themselves as such, I certainly never do, but instead merely exude an aura of dominance, which is clearly visible in the respect and reverence that their subs/slaves/pets quietly show them. The .dark. shows me this respect and reverence, but I do not forbid her interaction with others at all. In fact I actively encourage it because it is obvious to those that meet us, and to those that read our posts, that she belongs to/with me, and I have no fear whatsoever that another can give her what I can (and vice versa as it happens), and so I allow her to fly freely, so that she may learn and digest information that we can then both learn from. (As for Masters/Dominants not reading profiles properly, if I were a sub/slave/pet I would feel very nervous putting my faith in someone who apparently hasn't mastered even the most basic of reading and comprehension skills [;)]) Darcy
