ORIGINAL: kinkypuppy2 The biggest difference is in using those terms as prase or as a put down. uusing them in a positive light allows them to be positive no baby, I didn't call you a cum-gagging whore, I called you a cum-gagging whore. quote:
"Any man who can get off for more than a minute on the erotic image of female as whore is not a dominant. That image is a pure vanilla fantasy that reduces the female to an object of masterbation. The whole idea of it is to dehumanize the object, so that the male has nothing to be concerned about. He doesn't have to think, to understand, to be skillful, to feel, to experience any degree of intimacy apart from the meeting of genitals, to sustain a relationship." Qualities of a Successful Dominant by Polly Peachum um...I can get off for much more than a minute on the erotic image of a female as a whore. I suppose I am not dominant (which as just as well, as I haven't been a member of the club long enough to get my badge and my autographed copy of 'the old gaurd's almanac'). I am a bit confused as to what exactly miss polly peachum is referring to when she uses the word 'whore'. is she talking about a woman who is objectified in a sexual manner, or is she talking about a woman who is objectified in a sexual manner who is also objectifying the jon (or is it john?) in another manner? I work under the ethics that you inevitably 'objectify' everyone. today I'll go to class. In most cases, I could not care less about my professor's inner feelings and hopes and dreams. I just want a grade. I'm going to use him for his knowledge and he's going to use me because that's how he gets a pay check. my car needs a tune-up, am I objectifying the mechanic if I don't ask him about his day and how he's feeling before I use him for his services? is he objectifying me by not spooning me before accepting my debit card? I've never understood how objectification is an objectively bad thing. what if the female (or male) only wants to be used as an object of masturbation. is the dom unsuccessful by giving his sub exactly what she wants? is it, as miss polly proudly boasts, unfitting behavior for a dom? a cursory glance at these boards will quickly show you how varied passionate and compassionate desires can be. I fail to see how anyone, even a celebrated, published mistress extraordinaire, can lay down concrete boundaries of success and failure. I would even go so far as to say that there are relationships based upon humiliation and the meeting of the genitals that are quite successful. they may be a minority, but I'm positive they exist. I am curious as to this author's opinion about males being treated as whores and objects of masturbation. it does not strike me as a vanilla female's fantasies (at least according to what little I know of popular vanilla female fantasies) and I wonder if this has a validity that female degradation does not have. but now that that is out of the way...I'll get to your post - with the disclaimer that I am not a successful dominant as I have not met the appropriate requirements. quote:
To all the successful dominants, how do you walk the line between humiliation and degradation when using words like "whore" and "slut" to address your submissive? My last dominant wasn't particularly successful since I'm no longer with him. you can't know where that line is. for one, using whore and slut or pig or nigger or any other charged word is obviously going to have varied responses based upon the individual. these words carry their own meanings to people with different backgrounds. one person may equate being called a filthy slut in a demeaning tone as something exciting, to another it might remind them of past abuse. I had a playmate that was into being slapped and another who was horribly offended by it as it reminded her of her mother being beaten by her father. I don't walk the line. there are things that make her comfortable, things that turn her on, and things that reduce her to a blubbering, sobbing mess. I tend to avoid the latter category as it is not something that either of us enjoy. if there is any chance what I am about to do will turn the mood sour, I don't do it. things are a bit different for me as I've never been in what I would call a D/s relationship with qualities of success. I've only been in vanilla relationships with a bit of kink and a mild taste of submission. I'd like to be in a relationship that was within the D/s dynamic and is fulfilling but where I am from, there is a very small population of both submissive women and fulfilling women . trying to find one who is both is seeming rather impossible right now (which is fine, as I have more important things to worry about). "I went from feeling like his treasure to feeling like his skanky booty call. What lengths do you go to in a relationship or a session to ensure that your submissive partner doesn't begin to believe that's all she/he is to you, especially when many people are struggling with self-esteem issues?" perhaps it was just a bit of miscommunication? just because he wants something physical often and pouts and complains when he doesn't get it does not necessarily mean he doesn't care for you, it just means he has temper tantrums. when dealing with rather emotionally charged situations (like a lot of sessions or relationships) you really can't leave room for misjudging another person's emotions. sometimes I can be a little too reserved and people confuse that with being dissatisfied, apathetic, or even smug. I'd hate for that misinterpretation to ruin a relationship because we had poor communication. but when it comes to ensuring that partners dont' get the wrong idea... as far as you are concerned, in the future, just air your grievences before making assumptions. as far as I'm concerned, if I do anything that I feel made her uncomfortable, I'm sure to ask her about it to make sure that we won't have any dissonance in the future. "I know my self-worth although it can be a struggle at times, which is part of the reason I got out of the relationship, but I also love humiliation." um...I guess if you really like being humiliated, then humiliation shouldn't affect your self-worth. maybe you aren't completely sold on humiliation and should draw some boundaries for what you like and don't like so that your future partners know what you are looking for and if you will be able to provide what the other person wants. "I'm interested to find out how others are able to balance showing respect and making your submissive a wanton harlot." the only way I can imagine making a submissive a wanton harlot is if she was one or wanted to be one. if she wasn't comfortable with that type of humiliation or objectification or anything else, I don't think I'd be a very successful dom by strongarming her into something she is not comfortable with and really has no desire to be comfortable with.
