ORIGINAL: aidan Hmmm, to me it doesn't seem "unD/s" at all, to find your partner physically attractive. And it sounds weird to me that somebody would take that objectification. When did it become uncouth to be attracted to the person you're in a relationship with? If sexuality (not necessarily sex) is a part of the dynamic, why would that be a problem? All the women I've submitted to I've found attractive. Never thought anything of it. That's exactly how I feel, sorry if I didn't word it best. But I have heard and read women (and a few men too) who say that any statement of how attractive another person is is the same as objectifying. So if someone extends that into the femdom dynamic they might see what Fox did as objectifying too. I'm just wondering if others have similar experiences. Hmmm... if a sub sees his Mistress as being akin to a Godess to worship and serve, I don't see how telling her how beautiful or sexy she is, is at all inconsistent with his D/s dynamic with her. More specifically, regardless of the dynamic, I've never met a woman, Domme or not, who didn't like to be genuinely complimented and have her ego boosted in some way or another by the man in her life. - pixel Collared to Majik I have met women who say that, that's part of why I asked about it. I ever had the weird experience of having another feminist tell me that I was only dominant to please my man... I believe I laughed at her because I introduced BDSM to all my partners until we found a community of similar minded people. And as a feminist I was also insulted by the woman who said this because it seemed to me that she completely forgot the entire part of feminism giving women the right to make choices and this was my choice. Please, please, please, do not respond to this thread folks to talk about feminism. I just wanted to further explain part of why I started the thread and where I got the idea in the first place that it "might be objectifying" since it is certainly not my belief.
