the.dark: I was pleased that you added your follow-up question re: orientation/gender etc. because when you posted the first note, you will note that most of the subsequent posters assumed this was a male Dominant taking advantage of a female submissive -- such do we reveal our little, deeply ingrained biases. In fact, I think you have a bias here, too. You do not believe that the person offering the D/s action is a sincere friend. None of us know enough about the situation you posit to begin a credible analysis of the motives of either player. In fact I have had this exact situation occur when a long-standing friend who I did not ever interact with but who I shared a great enjoyment of D/s situations and people came to me because she wanted to explore aspects of her submissive persona (she was and is a ProDomme). Now from the outside it was precisely the arrangement you are asking about, but in fact it was not manipulative on either side and it was a genuine extension of our friendship. Of course, there are countless counterexamples of a sneaky, manipulative person who lied to get sex and/or a D/s partner. WOW. Imagine that. One might argue that all of recorded human sexual relationships involve that hypotheses: People will manipulate others to get what they want. Also, in asking the question don't you reveal that you think the person who is being "befriended" is weak and incapable of making his/her own decisions? I see a hypothetical involving two people...one who has more D/s experience and offers friendship to one who has less experience, and then the more experienced person says "well, if you want to try that we could...." Isn't the person being importuned able to decide for her/his self if this is a good thing? I believe in free will. I don't accept Leatherist's contention that sub women in heat (for example) are so crazed that they cannot decide if an offer is good or bad for them. Yes, surely, there are individuals who make bad judgments, and there are others who prey upon those individuals, but that is hardly unique to D/s friendships. So over all, I can't respond to your question other than "I really don't know." E.
