So, also new to D/s, and my first post, with hopefully lots more in the future, I was following this with great interest. I met my Master on this site almost a year ago, and we simply used it as an outlet to meet, in real time. Purely online D/s is simply something, I don't quite understand. Not downgrading it in any way, it is probably very fullfilling for some, but I just don't quite understand the practices of it. After Master and I met and things developed I guess neither Master or I felt the need to advertise that with the whole "under consideration" thing. On my own accord, I eventually deleted my profile, as I no longer saw the need to have one. With which after having done that, he was disappointed that he could not read some of the silly emails I had received. It however would seem that 'under consideration' would have the reverse desired effect. That is only a guess. Seems like the 'forbidden fruit' sort of thing. Now that I myself am taking more time to reach out into the community, the practices of others intrigue. Nothing more, no judgement. I am sure that there are things Master does with me, and vice versa, that others would not agree with, but isn't that with everyone? Subsequently, I have returned to the source of my original connection to the community. I came across a few profiles that say 'under consideration'. This obviously does not offend me, and I can only speculate that any Dom/me that may be using this term is not ALWAYS doing it to restrict contact because they are afraid something will get out about them, but more or less for the submissive to begin to feel their Dominance within the subs life. Obviously, there are those few people that are abusive, that are manipulative, but hopefully that charade can only last so long, and the sub 'under considering' would recognize that. But even so, I am sure there are just as many Dom/me's who don't use that term that are just as abusive, and manipulative. Honestly I think, the subs writing this in their profile, probably really love doing it. In some rather small way it possibly is saying, they are beginning their path of being owned, and are broadcasting it to the world, or at the very least the CM community. And hey, I think thats great. I don't think anything should be banned, one would hope as an adult we all have the intelligence enough to decide what is right, wrong, safe, and well, sane. If the reason for using it is to restrict, I don't believe that will happen. However, (on a very light side note) If I were a Domme searching for 'the one' and I searched using a site where every other sub had 'under consideration' in their profile, or things like 'don't contact me' etc. I would probably be rather frustrated at the lack of inventory left. Giggle. Maybe that is where the original poster is coming from. Maybe His toy
