Just for your FYI MasterHyde I am NOT cheating on my husband and if you read my profile you'd know that.



Why on earth would I read your profile? LOL I'm joking somewhat, but seriously we're not compatible so I wouldn't have any reason to read your profile. I responded based on the information you provided. Should I have to do a background check before I answer messages here? I know this sounds harsh, but it isn't meant to be. I'm laughing here. I hope the readers are, too.

I'm glad to hear you're not cheating, but I don't think the conclusion I came to was far-fetched. Your message indicated that you were married, and that you didn't want any to start asking questions. MOST poeple who are married and seeking discretion are doing so because they're cheating. You're not. That's good. But do you realize you're the exception to the rule?

Back to the subject at hand, I think it's much to do about nothing. We're all individuals, and we all have our own preferences. If flowers aren't your thing, no big deal. But I'm guessing you're not going to tell prospective subs they should give you something else. After all, a gift is only a gift if it's unsolicited. Otherwise, it's something else. Right?

As a male dominant, I can tell you we rarely receive gifts in the first place. Almost never on the first date. If someone did give me something, I would probably be impressed that she took the initiative. If it happened to be something especially appropriate, even better.

You know what I'd like to receive as a gift? I'd like someone to approach me and honestly tell me how she can serve me. A submissive who was focused on what she can do for me instead of just what I can do for her. Now, that would be a gift. <smile>

I tend to agree with the majority.. a vanilla gift that shows they have been paying attention to my likes and dislikes since we began communication;flowers, candy, or a book about an area of interest of mine. Gifts/tribute are never required, but i do love them, and i would rather know they considered me a human and a woman before a Domme. If he had brought something play oriented, I agree, he would have taken that home, and the meeting would have been very short.


kc692,

I'm always impressed by your posts. They are a pleasure to read.

I was most impressed by a sub's introductory gift of a single red, boxed rose, a new CD from an artist we had previously discussed, and a newly released paperback by one of My favorite authors. The CD and paperback were thoughtfully presented in a pastel gift bag with matching ribbon and matching tissue paper. He presented the gift bag upon his self introduction and included a cheery 'so nice to meet you' greeting card, then waited until we had struck a mutually agreeable interest in one another before he excitedly asked My permission to go to his car to bring Me something. Upon his return, the boxed rose was presented with a gentlemanly bow on one knee. Had he arrived with a dozen arranged roses in hand I might have been put off, perhaps, but in his case everything he does is done with class and careful attention to detail.

Our second meeting he chose some inexpensive new toys, still in their packaging, from and Adult shop that again, were geared to interests I had expressed. In the coming weeks he presented Bondage tape, body paints, washable crayons, wax for waxing sessions, hosiery (a treat since I'm so tall and difficult to shop for), all offered with consideration, forthought and effort.

His small gifts, and sometimes not so small gifts, whether shower gels, perfumes, soaps, candles, books, christmas ornaments or other seasonal decorations, trinkets picked up at antique shops, vases, paperweights were all carefully chosen with My interests and hobbies in mind and continue to this day.

Like you, I delight in knowing that he pays attention to My interets, likes and dislikes. I came away from our first meeting Most Impressed and very flattered.

In contrast, I once met a sub who presented a brown paper bag filled with approximately 8 lbs of chain in hand for our very first meeting. My kneejerk reaction was 'ewwww, DO ME'. I don't know why I was so put off by it, I suppose I've been spoiled!

Texas Maam


Thank you Texas Maam for the compliment. i'm glad to hear again that you like my posts,smiles!

I think that you were fortunate to find the first sub, he certainly sounds like a treasure, and those are hard to find!'

As to the second sub, I would not wonder why I was so put off by it if I were you; it is self explanatory. I need to qualify my statement made earlier of sending those types packing quickly. In his case, I would have been tempted to possibly do something with that chain to ensure he would think twice next time, but that is just the evilness in me!!

LOL... I seem to have a knack for finding women who like purple. Last painting contract I bid was for a woman who wanted a purple bedroom... several shades in a color wash. Now all I have to do is figure out where in the world I'm gonna find purple orchids this time of year! I never did care for being ordinary.

That is because you are not ordinary, sweets, and to let you in on a scary secret, the rest of my house is "normal" colors, but, my bedroom is a deep royal purple, and my office is a light purple. I think I need a touch up on the home colors, I just had a paint party at my office,,,did you want to come pick up those cookies?? lol. I need to patch some holes in the ceiling (it's cream) where I moved some eyebolts, lol.


Edited to add: mmmm, orchids, I havent been given even one of those in decades...you do know how to make me smiles!!!

Edited again to add: the picture on the left was taken in my bedroom...see the wall???

Hehe... I'd wondered which room that picture was taken in, you looked quite comfortable so my guess was the bedroom. Nice to know I haven't lost my touch.

A deep royal purple, you know I could do that in a color wash that would give it an almost velvety texture... trim it with some white... no... cream colored crown molding and a low wainscoting with decorative insets trimmed in gold highlights and it would look just stunning. Convert your bed into a four poster with purple velvet drapery and gold, translucent curtains. Add some decorative wall sconces for mood lighting... can you say palatial? Tad expensive though, how's your budget?


Ummmmmmmmm, that would be quite a few cookies, laughs!! I better start saving my pennies, course, it would be worth it because I'd get to meet ya too!!! With your photography skills, you could take pictures afterwards, smiles.

Personally, I do - but like I said, thats a personal choice. I actually feel it lazy not to. If I am bothered enough to respond to a persons post - then I should do so a) to the best of my ability b) with as much knowledge as I can gleam about a person from all available resources. If I am bothered enough to respond, I should do so with clarity and with responsibility - you never know, someone may be listening.

My opinion was not that the OP was cheating, but that she didn't think it appropriate for other family members, friends or associates to have to become involved. Not everyone can be open about what and who they are, because of judgements(like the one you made) by others, work responsibilites etc... In the munches I have been to and people I know, descretion is a key to why they can attend. And cheating is not acceptable and so, does not happen - I see no exceptions to rules at all.

I just wanted to share my point of view, to show that not all judge others without looking deeper.

I am constantly wondering why people cannot stay on track and just respond to a post or paragraph, instead of trying to pull apart every thread and fragment - or laugh at others, or have a desire to speak in a condecending manner disguised as irony.

Peace and Love

I just wanted to say that having had an enormous bouquet of lilies delivered to me today from "the right guy" put the hugest smile on my face. This was perhaps the last thing I expected today and it simply took my breath away. Believe it or not, it made this Lady blush huge. He is truly a wonderful, wonderful boy.

Guess it depends on the sub. I have however spoiled my Master and even my last Sire but have only given my Master Flowers as a vanilla way of welcoming home from a 2 week business trip, and then I gave him the lifestyle one my total submission to him.
