ORIGINAL: AAkasha While staying away from the drama associated with terms like "real" or "natural", is there any way to make one clear distinction between people who were "born" with the desires vs. those that learned about BDSM and decided it would be "fun" but really could take it or leave it? Surely, people know what I'm talking about. There are a lot of us that had these ideas about domination or submission before we even knew what it was. We were tying each other up in innocent kid games and engaging it in romantically/sexually as we matured. Some did not act on the ideas as early as others, and some didn't even reallize their ideas/fantasies were ok until they were much older. But the common theme is that the ideas were always there, and they also don't go away in time. They can't be ignored or turned off, and are basically part of our being. The degree to which we engage in real life exploration can vary greatly, but the common theme is that the "urge" or "lust" for it doesn't ever go away. It's in our wiring. There are others that found out about BDSM and consider it exciting and passionate and integrate it into their lives. Many of them might even be more "active" in the bdsm community than some "home grown" bdsmers who just practice it in their private lives. One category is not more real, or better than the other. But it still seems like they are at least definable -- vs. "TPE" or "24/7" which are impossible to define because they depend on perspective. I don't know if I'm making sense. Akasha this makes perfect sense to me, as it is how things worked with me. i don't consider myself superior or different really from others, just that this is how i have always been. it's a way of life as well as who am and have always been. because some things happened in childhood and early adulthood that weren't then known as part of a "lifestyle" doesn't make them any less real. being a submissive isn't really so much a choice as it is a need to complete myself in a way that i cannot do myself. i can try to not think of it when i've other things to accomplish in my life, but it doesn't go away, and can only be silenced for so long.
