fan2sighz -> What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 2:08:03 PM)
I'm married and would like to explore my submissive side. But my wife is not only uninterested, she finds the subject unacceptably perverse. Is there a way to pursue my fantasies while maintaining my marriage? Thanks

These answers will be interesting.

As my profile states, I am in a relationship and looking to explore outside of it. Basically people will tell you a few things, other than the fact that you are an asshole: You shouldn't have married that person in the first place (well, too late for that) You should tell her you want to explore outside the marriage and get her OK (good luck on that) You should try to open her mind to it more - there may be a chance. Any other option will be deemed unacceptable to the general public. Face it, you'll end up lying to her which is wrong as we all know. It's up to you to weight the risks and the pros and cons of finding a solution. Just don't expect anyone here to offer up ideas for you. Ain't gonna happen.

There are plenty here that do it without informing their spouses of it, but I really doubt you're going to get any help on this forum how to do that. Have you ever talked to your spouse about sex or even play without any intercourse outside of the marriage?

I know someone in this situation. He and his wife have an understanding that she doesn't need to know all he does, but he doesn't include sexual things in his submission to another. I can respect this because she has agreed not to know all and he doesn't have to do without some submission in his life. She doesn't object to his being willing to do for her, but she thinks the whole idea rather perverted. She doesn't understand that it isn't always about sex or weird sex at that. It isn't easy for him and I am sure it isn't easy for you, but only you and she can work this out. I have seen more hide, lie and cheat, which does far more harm than causes fulfillment of needs. Maybe helping your wife understand that submission doesn't have to mean perverted or weak. Submission can be very loving without the bondage or pain type things. {edited to state... that it can be loving with these things too! God... didn't want flack on that one!} Submission and dominance are often viewed very differently by those in the lifestyle and those outside of it. One pointer I would like to give here is please don't push. If she doesn't understand it and can only see it as deviant, you will only turn her off to it more and feel more frustration than ever. Good luck to you!

Unless you're open and honest with her...no.

So I found cyber-sex [:D] and indulged all of my perverse fantasies there. Then I divorced him...

You'd almost think God invented marriage just to torture us.

quote: Is there a way to pursue my fantasies while maintaining my marriage? Yes...but it takes a lot of hard work and an incredibly understanding partner for it to happen. You say she find's the idea unacceptably perverse ... well bully for her ... time she got over herself and her hang ups. Talk to her again ... ask her how she would feel about your seeing someone professionally ie: having a paid session with a pro dom .. or finding someone local who accepts married submissives. Though I would say the latter generally has the potential to become complicated UNLESS the dom in question has no desire for anything beyond seeing you on a casual basis, ergo doesn't put demands on you or your marriage. Give her some power here ... tell her these needs aren't going away ... but that she gets to set the limits ... allowing her to put some boundaries in place and STICK TO THEM ... eg no sex, or no sexual contact ... no marks ... never on Sundays ... whatever it is that will help her feel comfortable with the notion of you exploring this outside your four walls. Don't expect it to happen overnight .. and DON'T whatever you do pressure or bully her into making it happen faster than she is comfortable with. Don't throw it in her face either ... Start with one session ... that sometime in the next three months you can visit with a dom ... your wife doesn't need to be bored or horrified with the details ... but that at some stage over the next three months (from the time you have her agreement) you will see someone ... Whatever you do DON'T break her trust ... if she agrees to one session in three months ... don't be an arse and have five... or be and arse and whine and whinge and pressure her into agreeing you can have more ... Baby steps ... respect her at all times.

Can i just say that's one of the best posts i've ever read?

slavekal -> RE: What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 3:09:30 PM)
Don't totally write off the wife yet. She is likely averse to the leather, chains, and dungeon-y stuff. She may very well like some of the ultra chivalrous, service oriented things. If you start from there, she may learn that she enjoys more about this lifestyle than she thinks she does. Read the Elise Sutton site and try some of those techniques. Be prepared to be really patient, though.

slavekal -> RE: What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 3:19:17 PM)
God is the ultimate practical jokester. Who else would make everything you like a sin or dangerous or fattening? Who else would put "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" in the middle of Eden? What possible reason could there have been besides a jerky personality?

slavekal -> RE: What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 3:36:07 PM)
I disagree. I don't think laying blame helps to sove anything. However, I do think men far too often marry women they know are not sexually compatible with them. Then they cheat left and right, somehow justifying it to themselves.

LaMistressa -> RE: What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 4:48:46 PM)
Unless you can speak with your wife about your needs and desires (and she can agree to let you explore within limits that you both can live with), or unless you are really good at hiding things in your relationship, the answer is probably no.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: What's a married man to do? (12/15/2007 7:40:11 PM)
Sexual incompatibility seems to be an enormous issue in vanilla marriages. I continue to be baffled by this. It's not the 1960's anymore, aren't folks testing the merchandise first, so to speak? Granted, we may discover new tastes as we grow older, but IMO male submission is a thing that is always there, not something that bursts forth. Slavekal, you are totally right about the dungeony stuff being a turnoff, but if you gave me a toy for each man who told me Oh No, when I suggested that he just serve his wife and make her life easier---you would have a hard time lifting the bag! Not trying to cast aspersions on the OP, who I do not know---but for so many who marry vanilla and get bored, the glam trappings are the turnon, and being <cough> forced to do foot worship is ever so much more satisfying than cleaning the snow off her car before she goes to work.
