ORIGINAL: BOUNTYHUNTER These "democratic" theories are hog wash,Why should a DOM have to take what he dishes out????..Since when has bdsm became a democratic society...equal rights for all,next we will see subs and slaves walking the picket line...I am just abour feed up with the turn collarme has taken... Wow, as I was saying about getting defensive... Actually it appears that very nearly everyone, submissives and dominants alike, inspired to reply seems to think that it is unreasonable and illogical to expect a dominant to be able to take what they dish out, with the exception of a few switches who can experience and enjoy actual submission and not just bottoming. So, what inspired this OP has been a mix of tongue in cheek remarks from cheeky submissives, dominants who seem to want to add to their resume by bottoming, and switches who seem to think that their switchiness makes them better dominants. I don't really agree or disagree at face value, but I think the scope of what might be gained is pretty limited and by no means universally applicable. One thing that hasn't been addressed though is life experience. What about military training? Many dominants have military background, understand what it feels like to be 'broken' and built back up, the good, the bad, and the ugly, enduring pain, being taken to a mindset of immediate and almost unconditional obedience based on power and respect, etc. I have to admit, this does add to my respect for them. Though the context and motivation aren't the same, I think it does give some extra insight and appreciation for the D/s dynamic. Just adding fuel to the fire ;) ~ J
