ORIGINAL: slaveluci Ok, I took a minute to read the link. Just to clarify, here's her quote: "Submissive Frenzies are a state or condition that many if not all submissives will experience at one time or another." I'm not familiar with any of her writings but I find some of her generalizations a little patronizing. Here's a sampling of some of the comments she makes about a sub in "frenzy" state: 1. "It can leave them irrational, willing to make poor decisions, rash, impulsive and generally stupid. A submissive in a frenzied state is at their most vulnerable to succumbing to the ploys of those less than admirable." 2. "Contact with a Dominant, almost any kind will tend to rivet their attention. The very first gift that the submissive gives away here is their common sense." 3. "A submissive in a pre-frenzy need state will often become very alluring, flattering, flexible. They will mirror the apparent 'needs' of the Dominant they are talking to in order to appear to be the perfect candidate for a future alliance. Though the submissives in general do not tend to lie here, many only present partial truth's." 4. "It is very important for the Dominant to learn to recognize the symptoms of frenzy and allow for the premise that the submissive's judgment may be impaired when speaking with them. " Wow. Now I know there are folks the world over (vanilla and otherwise) who do/become all these things and then some when desperate to find a partner. But to say that submissives as a whole ("many if not all") act like this is insulting to say the least. Irrational, impulsive, generally stupid, lacking common sense, a partial-truth telling flatterer with impaired judgment? Ouch. All that just to get our dom? Never happened to THIS sub at any point in time. Not sure it does with "many if not all." Some yes, because there are some desperate, unstable folks out there who will do whatever it takes. Not sure they have to be of the submissive nature and they definitely don't have to be into BDSM. I think the article evidences alot of condescension toward the "sub" type (poor gullible, desperate, stupid creatures that we are)[&o]................luci heh this pretty much describes anyone male or female that's horney, doesn't it?????????? (it's a joke people) My point is, I think it applies to both roles and vanilla alike at times.
