ORIGINAL: Emperor1956 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. Absolutely. Which is why I did try not to reveal the sex of the persons involved as I hoped for an unbias view. Maybe the sex of the people involved may change peoples perceptions and answers? Would it have been better to make them clearer? quote:
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. I believe you are correct. However it is hard for me to make such a judgement without really having any contact with said person, and maybe even wrong to make a judgement. Which is why I decided to ask it here, to see if my thinking was one sided and showing bias. Sometimes you have to ask people outside of 'you' to see 'you' - if that makes sense. quote:
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. OK - I understand what you are saying. But the difference I see is that you say she was a long standing friend, whereas this has been a month. Does that make a difference - should it? quote:
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. I agree. The thing is that this affects a close friend and indirectly affects me and I am a selfish person, no doubt about that. If it's going to touch my life and alter it, I will want input. Not to interfere, but to keep my life on the course, the life that Darcy and by default - I - desire. quote:
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. Absolutely I agree with you on the point of free will. Absolutely do I believe that people learn from their own experiences, mistakes or otherwise. Do I feel the person is weak? No. Incapable. No. - But in a vulnerable position at this moment in their life? Yes. Had my friend been approached by someone known or a long term friend or associate or a casual 'meet and date' on a site like this or even found someone on a swingers site willing to be a fuck buddy or play buddy I would not hesistate in saying - go experience it, find out, enjoy it hopefully and yay you go for it - just play 'safe' !! In fact that is exactly what I did say initially - but the more info I have been given, the more wary I grow - it is none of the above from what I have been told. quote:
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. I can see and agree with both your POV. I agree it isn't unique to Ds relationships and I agree some women(and men) can be so crazed they cannot decide healthily. quote:
So over all, I can't respond to your question other than "I really don't know." E. Maybe so, but what you did write gave me cause for thought and I am grateful for that, thank you so much. the.dark.
