ORIGINAL: Padriag To no one in particular... Most of us, myself included, have been having a chuckle at the OP's expense. But then something occurred to me. Had the OP posted he wanted someone for extreme tattoos, or some extreme piercings (you know, like spikes implants or whatever)... there probably would have been a very different reaction. Had the OP been seeking someone willing to gain some weight or have a breast reduction, likewise, I suspect the reaction would have been very different. Had the OP, for any of the above, asked for advice about seeking such things, I suspect it would have been forthcoming. Now here's the part that really struck me... why is any of that treated any different? I mean, body modification is body modification. In the end its all about saying to someone,"As a matter of fact I don't like you the way you are, I'd like you better if you were like this", whatever "this" happens to be. But in certain cases, that's okay while in others it's definitely not... and that seems a bit irrational to me. And maybe a bit unfair too. So to the OP, I take back anything snarky I said or was thinking. If creating your own "bimbo" or your very own Galatea (and doesn't the later sound so much more "pretty" and poetic) is your thing, more power too you. Cause frankly, I think at heart most of us dominants have a little of that in us... that desire to "mold and shape that lump of clay" (how often have both dominants and submissives spouted that one and been aplauded for it), to train, to teach, to form a submissive into what pleases us. It sounds cool when put in poetic terms... but when you get right down to it... modification is modification. We've been told that some forms of it are not okay, not PC... and for a guy who has never been very PC... this gave me something to think about, and it left me feeling just a little bit like a hypocrit. I didn't like that feeling. Just something to ponder... call it food for thought. I was having fun with 'knock the silly OP' until I got to this. And, darn it, you're right. Why are some modifications more acceptable than others? I think the word 'bimbo' reduces credibility when we read the thread - and when you look at all the other fetishes discussed here, why should this one push those buttons? Darn it, now I'm all philosophical and examining my own prejudices.
