ORIGINAL: Aimtoplease101 You occassionally run across a Domme who reveals that she's married, but either has a partner who doesn't share her interests or who is dominant himself, and thus that she plays with subs with his consent. My question-- in your opinion, does the sub who is planning on spending some time with the married Domme have any ethical obligation to check out and confirm the "knowledge and consent" arrangement, or as a sub should he accept the Domme's statement and leave it at that? Regards, ATP You can try to check out whatever you care to, but isn't her being upfront with announcing the fact that she is married in the first place seem to be a reasonable attempt to be dealing with the subbie on a level playing field? I AM MARRIED, and I state that upfront and in my profile... My husband is not Dom, sub, switch, NOR involved in my play in any way. I have tended to play with other married people as well-- However, if I choose (and subbie accepts) to play with someone who is SINGLE, where is the problem in that--as long as they have been made aware of the situation and the probable limitations that they would encounter? I do NOT however give my phone number out (until I feel comfortable from meeting-in-person) and when I intend to meet someone new, I request a copy of their driver's license sent to my email addy in order to afford some semblance of safety for myself. I then meet in a public place and see how things go from there. (in advance of that meeting, I've generally logged in a decent amount of instant messaging to see how our personalities mesh) You can always run the risk of some big bruiser coming along and wanting to pound lumps on you, by why would you think that would ONLY come from a married woman, as compared to a woman with a jealous/controlling boyfriend/live-in lover? Just MY thoughts on the situation...
