ORIGINAL: curiousoptimist I am new to all this. I have been going out with my boyfriend for 6 months now. As soon as we first had sex, he told me he was into kinky stuff and was quite assertive about encouraging me to explore it with him. He is a sexual submissive although he is very assertive outside the bedroom. He has told me that he likes to be bound, spanked, whipped, penetrated, gagged, hooded, strap-on-ed and generally bossed about in the bedroom. He isn't really a masochist but likes me to take control. For understanding the statements here that pertain to him, he might be classified as a bottoming Dom. (A "bottom" is one who is bossed around or controlled in the bedroom. A "Dom", short for "Dominant", is one who controls outside of the bedroom, and, usually, in it too.) A Dom who bottoms is.. something of an oddity, though he's far from unique. I can not claim to understand the mental stance he has, though this is how it can be referred to. quote:
ORIGINAL: curiousoptimist I am not sure about this. I never really gave it much thought and assumed it was all rather sick and disordered but because I love him and because I am open minded, I was willing to give it a go. He has just bought me 4 books on Female Dominance to read. He has bought me a wardrobe of kinky clothes and has lots of toys himself. This lifestyle is most certainly sick, in the regard that it can be determental to living a "normal" life in the eyes of the greater portion of society. Just, this doesn't seem to stop its substituents from living it. If you'd like to message me in private, I could try to explain a bit of what I've learned about such individuals as a dialog. (Since it's not a subject I fully understand, I'm unable to readily outline it in the general sense.) quote:
ORIGINAL: curiousoptimist I feel a little overwhelmed by it all. I don't like feeling pushed around into trying something. One of the most common themes of this community is that one should be comfortable in anything he tries. This said, it's likely many, if not the great majority, of individuals here would sympathize with you here. quote:
ORIGINAL: curiousoptimist I am here to learn and to get advice. Have any of you out there had similar experiences? Can you explain to me why he likes this. Is it sick? Does it lead to more extreme things? Am I dominant? Can I be? What if I am not? an I become dominant? If I am not, are we incompatible?? I'd appreciate some experienced advice. There's.. soul searching to be done? It's unlikely you're currently "Dominant" if this isn't what you feel. Now, how close are you to it, may be a valid question. (Such as, I don't currently like.. eatting pie. I like sweet things, and it looks good, I just happen to have no interest whatsoever. But, still, I'm pretty close to liking it in the regard that nothing's really stopping me and eatting it for a while may change my inclination. On the other hand, I also don't like red meat. It's tasteless to me, and the blood in it makes me a bit sick to my stomach. And, while I don't care for it in the same way I don't care for pie, I'm far closer to liking the pie than the red meat since I dislike the red meat with objective reasons in mind.) If you're not Dominant, nor do you really want to be.. honestly, you two just might be incompatiable. Which.. would really bite, if you really care for the guy, but, meh.. that's life, you know? Even if he just wanted the BDSM-type relationship in bed, and you don't enjoy it, a good sex life is typically pretty important to any intimate adult relationship. For very many, it does lead to "deeper" things. For others, it stops at, or even short of, the first experiment. So, I suppose it would be more accurate to say, "It's possible it may lead to deeper things."
