ORIGINAL: Tristan I'm always amazed at how defensive the dommes get when a male submissive posts about being taken advantage of by someone. If it was a female submissive who posted, there would be no shortage of real advice without the sarcasm and negative "are you a dumb ass" comments. Most of the advice and commentary being given here is the exact same advice that I have given to female, male and transgendered submissives -and- to male, female and transgendered dominants who have been looking for the person of their dreams, and get caught by individuals who note the potential for weakness--people like this will try their wiles on anyone...sometimes they actually score, and that makes it worthwhile to try again. There are good ways to avoid this. First, patience. Nobody finds the love of their life in 3 hours of text messaging, a 9 hour phone call and one weekend visit over dinner or coffee. Finding the right match takes time, and anyone who starts professing undying love/desire and starts asking for stuff in nearly the same breath is most likely a shyster. It doesn't matter if that person aligns submissive, dominant, or flips between the two like a Chinese gymnast. Second, have some self respect. All of us are worthy of respecting ourselves, and if we don't respect ourselves, how can we possibly expect anyone else to have any respect for us? If we -do- respect ourselves, we will know when to protect ourselves and when to trust others enough to yield ourselves up to their care and protection. In the same way, as dominants, we will know when to focus on the responsibilities we already have, and when it is right to gather another responsibility to ourselves. Two basic, fundamental concepts that would, if each of us could get a solid hold on them, eliminate the food-source for this particular style of predator. Lady Zephyr
