ORIGINAL: DoctorYale A reply to one and all. I have been fascinated by the level of angst and vitriolic denunciations that have been sent my way. Each and every one of you (well almost), have proven my point. And so, we can soon dispense with this thread. I shall remain on this site, occassionaly join in forum discussions and keep my eyes open for one who is unlike any of you who have chosen to answer. I am of course totally fascinated by the fact that so many Dommes chose to respond with such bitterness. I will have to reflect upon this and ponder as to the reason you felt so challenged by this posting. I can understand your surprise, because I found myself surprised by how angry your post made me. Far more than it had any reason to. And I realized that I feel like I've been put in an impossible situation. Not by you, of course. You live several thousand miles from me. But by a society that has encouraged decisions that you have made. For me, I have tried to live my life with integrity and be true to my own sense of self. It would have been far easier to play at being someone I am not, get a ring and get all those vanilla needs met, that you so rightly acknowledged are important. I want those, very much. But I couldn't do that. For some reason, and I do blame it on the 'virgin/whore' dichotomy that has run through our culture, men find it easier to say "OK--here's a vanilla girl for my vanilla needs--where's the kinky girl for my kinky needs." But, as the kinky girl, I have those vanilla needs also. All of them. And so, I passionately hope that someday I will meet someone that can meet me halfway. Choose to develop a friendship and also an erotic encounter. But you seem to be saying (or more fairly, I interpret your choices as saying) that I don't have those vanilla needs. My place will always be twofold--I will be by his side, as a partner and co-conspirator in life. And kneeling at his feet. But I need both. And I just pray I can find someone who wants both because I cannot bifurcate myself the way the OP has bifurcated his life. And so many men have made the choice that the OP has made, I question whether I will be able to have my needs met.
