ORIGINAL: CuriousLord AAkasha.. if you really want a pro sub, you can pay him. I'm sure that you can find a decent one who will do whatever you want for a fair price. I'm sure at least some of them are well equiped; if you pay enough, any of them certainly could be. Honestly, though, I'm sure you could get one to perform relatively well without even having to pay. And don't tell me that that would be less than what subs get from a pro domme; I'm sure pro's don't always do everything a sub wants, either (I mean, seriously, they are the dom, right?). So, if you're feeling disadvantaged, trust me, you're not. But, still, I feel like you're trying to make a point in favor of dommes selling their services. Com'n now. This post is just really self-promoting in sentiment. This is a very real question and a very real issue. You can't lose fact of something very central to this issue: I am happily married, primarily monogamous (I have some great online/phone partners and have engaged in some very casual, flirty, fly-by-night physical domination) for 6 years now. In discussions with my husband regarding the highest comfort level for moving into poly over the next year, we both agree the most ideal situation would be one that is completely transactional. If pro subs existed, he'd say "go for it." If they were gay, all the better. Neither of us are comfortable with developing a long term, ongoing, intimate and emotional relationship with a man just to satisfy my need for variety that becomes compelling, nagging, distracting at a ratio of 1:100 compared to how much I desire intimate, passionate, emotional, deep, loving BDSM (which I get with him). Sometimes I want a fly-by. It's just the way it is. We may go the other route, whereby I do develop an ongoing relationship with one man, or a few, for the purpose of casual encounters. My point is still this -- there's always a price. Even with my online/phone partners it's never 100% about me. Nor should it be. That's not the way you nurture a relationship of mutual respect. There is some level of beauty in knowing that I could go get a slick session in a professional atmosphere at the drop of the hat, no hard feelings. Others that have been around my postings and writings for the last, oh, say, 12 years (heh) will probably vouch that I have made this same gripe before, this isn't just a fleeting idea in my head. Back when I was single, it was more because I was so incredibly busy at the start of my career and in a variety of cities with travel, and always thought that a pro-sub-dungeon in every major city would have been a dream, because I didn't have the time to cultivate relationships. I still had lots of casual encounters with subs from the net in every city I visited -- and with a lot of them came headaches of expectations on the other end, no matter how much I said, "No strings attached." Again, a major thing to remember is this. A submissive will jump at the idea because he believes "no strings submission" includes some, or all, of his fantasies. Trust me, it does not. And the minute he hears "it's over" then the guilt trip starts. I've been there. Akasha
