But would I would expect is than someone that is a newbie to respect an elder of a group ;I dont mean an online one unless this person has lots of references; Why? I am interested why anyone would expect anything from someone whom they do not own for one thing. Secondly, why should someone who may be new, be expected to respect someone in a group that they do not really know just because they are seen by some as an 'elder'? Respect comes from knoweldge and the way something is taught - its not a prerequsite - even if some people do see it as something to be earnt (which, incidently, I do not believe). Respect is related to experience - and not all elders have that, just like not all young dominants are inexperienced 'young pups'. quote:
if your looking to flame and bait me rememeber the assertive thing I do is click the red hand and you disappear.....im not the only person that interpets things the way I do there are alot of us but unfoourtanlly we have to contend with someone that has "Top's Disease"......Dogmastics......look it up you are treading thin ice in the direction........... With all due respect, I don't see any flaming or baiting - if anything people are agreeing to the genral concept of the OP - but Your defense is up. But then, my statement is subjective, just as Yours is. Blocking people for personal insults and bitch slapping, I can understand - its very tiresome and does nothing to aid a discussion. But blocking just for not liking what you hear shows little wisdom. For, even from words one does not like or agree with, comes learning. One does not have to respond - but one is gaining knowledge, and that is always a positive thing. ANd throwing around such accusations of dogmatist is again, more irony - and subjective. quote:
.................lets look at the dynamic of sub/dom relationship based primarily on the precept of sex............im not talking a personal note lets look at the facts as I have stated them......if anyone thinks that they can base a relationship primarily on a sexual kink..pleasure.....fetish.......the submissive is the one in power.......she sets the limits of her play you are only the facilitator in the realm of play......you cant play at living or walk around with your dick in her or whatever 24/7...........nothing wrong if thats the way you or anyone else plays.............thats the relaity of the situation.........TPE or Gorean we tend to have views a little different than yours............so lets not forget if your paying attention to the reality of the facts........I have nothing against anyone whom only wants to play, scene with or without a signficate other......facts are facts though no matter what reality you try and choose to look at them from ............... But is not your generalisation nothing more than that which You are disputing? Your OP bemoans those that call fake or phooeny or wannbe, this is a generalisations based on a set personal line. One persons wannabe, is another persons dominant, is another persons gorean... nothing is thankfully, set in stone. Just because a couple live a sexual Ds relationship, does not put the submissive in power. Just means they are in a sexual Ds relationship. It does not lessen the power dynamic, it doesnt make the dominant any less a dom just because it doesnt adhere to your chosen box. Your correct of course - Being honest with yourself is a huge step and there are people who cannot centre on such and this can create problems down the line for them, but that has nothing to do with what type of relationship they are in. Whether you self label TPE, or Gorean or 24/7 or part-time play or Top/bottom has no baring on what make a true power exchange or true relationship or wannabe or fake. Truth and Reality are subjective. Each word - each definiton is different to each and every person. Because of this, understanding is a personal thing. It can become tainted when placed on another, because no one knows anyone else or their definitions at all. People are constantly trying to make definitions stick. But the irony is that wiitwd is the complete opposite to that. You see things as they are for you and thats all that matters. But to try and impress Your definition on others outside your box is simply a waste of time - and that is not being honest with oneself. Peace and Love
