ORIGINAL: Grlwithboy Jeez H I have to agree with Michael again, whether it's someone you and yours know or not. Holy cow, I don't see femsubs expected to be motivated by this saintlike abdication of any and all desire. Wow. Personally I like when someone wants SOMETHING. I don't think I want a Buddhist monk as a pet. Call me a big fluffy service top and roll me in sugar, but mutually fulfilling "I'll be bitchy to you" doesn't seem like a crappy afternoon. I agree with you, and I think his expectations are reasonable with regards to wanting someone attractive (call me shallow, but I do too). Where I think the disconnect is though is the idea, perhaps, that "merely being bitchy" is easy for a dominant woman. I wrote a few articles on this once, trying to explain to submissive men that dominance requires energy. It requires energy even for those of us that *love* it. Channeling that energy into demeanor, body language, attitude and language, to create a feel or ambience, is *very* draining. Even for a sadist. Essentially he is asking for service submission in exchange for topping, and I believe he feels since the topping does not require physical energy (ie whipping, spanking, fucking with a strap on, binding) it must be "easy." It's not. If anything, it's often *more* draining because you must maintain that control with mere words, looks, demeanor. Sure, a femdom doesn't have to be "super sweet" and say please and thank you to tasks, but requiring her to be anything beyond her normal demeanor (unless it is absolute *indifference*, but I bet that would not cut it) requires thought, time and energy. It's a big investment for someone who does not want to give back in terms of a relationship. See, that's the rub. Now if he had a *girlfriend* that "got him," she could probably do this as a roleplay now and then. But I have a suspicion he wants someone more removed to make it work for him, and that the intimacy (love, affection, tenderness) shared with a girlfriend during "downtime" would ruin it. That's why it almost seems that a pro is the way to go. Or, my other suggestion, which I am serious about -- date out of his league, and much younger (immaturity) and he will be treated that way. Akasha I think your solution is pretty shrewd, and I know all too well how much energy being bitchy requires. It's not that it's such a drain though that I don't think anyone would want to go there once in a while, but yeah, if this is a contuinual thing, or a fantasy that's etched in stone with NO space for the woman to add challenges or variations or surprises, then it will sap anyone just about. I guess I read into it that this is a point of departure, but I didn't read the story, I don't know how narrow a focus or not is there.
