New? New at what? Living life as an adult? New at this "lifestyle"?


Yes.

quote:


I do not understand why any woman with even half a shred of common sense would allow someone to compromise themselves, their integrity or their personal boundaries just because they are playing on a different playground.

But given what you said, yes, indeed some of them are "new". A lot of them are not.


A lot of women are not new to life but new to discovering their drive to submit and what it means for them.  As someone who grew up in a dysfunctional environment (who didn't these days?), all I knew is I had this overwhelming drive to please others.  I thought it was an element of my submission and later came to learn it was an element of my co-dependency.  But I didn't start out the gate equipped with everything I ever needed to know about submission, or everything I ever needed to know about what made me tick.  I submitted easily and to some very unhealthy people because of this.  I grew up with the belief that all men should be submitted to by all women.

So yes, it is confusing when one really wants to find where she fits and received a poor life-education along the way.  And how do we know where these people are, on their paths?  What if they have been doing a lot of work on themselves, through therapy and self help, and are leaps and bounds from where they used to be, even though not yet where they need to be?  How are we "paying it forward" (if that's something we even want to do) by criticizing them for where they are?

What perplexes me time and again is the negative/hostile/berating attitude others have toward folks who simply have not found their way.  We are all a product of our inner spirits and our environments.  What seems common sense and logical to you may be an amazing new enlightment to someone else.  Personally I wish we'd give others a break and get rid of the "you deserve to be hurt because you're stupid" attitude.  Not that you personally have this, Erin, but it's out there.  I read in another thread this morning that anyone stupid enough to allow someone to call them something deserves to be called that.  How is that being constructive, I wonder?  Not that we all have to be leaders and saints here, but some compassion and understanding for others who are not where "we" are might be helpful, overall.

I wonder, do these same people scoff at the homeless and deny them help, because the homeless deserve to be?  Is this a universal attitude toward any walk of life that isn't what we feel "correct?"   

Anyway, these are my thoughts on the subject.  I know they are not in line with what a lot of other people think, and I don't think everyone should think as I do, but I wanted to offer a different point of view than what I so often see out here.

First of all, I am dead sexy and if you don't get wet on our first date and aren’t having multiple orgasms by our second date, I failed my job.  Sex is a tool.  But that rare exception aside, being as humble as I am, I would say:

I think it comes down to “educated preference.”   All D types are assholes to a degree.  It comes with the job.  The question is if they can sell it and make their chauvinism palatable.  I am a chauvinist to a degree.  I am a chauvinist by educated choice, not out of ignorance.  I truly am a macho type, alpha dude.  It is the role that best suites me.  I never approach with the “bow down” attitude and I am not self deluded in thinking I am “better” than female slaves.  I think I am different and that is where my chauvinistic view of inequality comes in.  I have my male roles and females have theirs.  .. it is my educated preference.

My personal opinion on this subject is that all wannabe Dom's should create a sub female profile and see how the other half lives.

I did! What an eye opener!

Some of these guys are just complete idiots!

The stuff they come out with is just pathetic!

It just makes them look like children playing with adult toys.

Most of them never even read the profile.

They just see the photo, all the blood rushes from there heads to their dicks and before they've put their brain into gear, they've just made a fool out of themselves all over again.

Unbelievable.

Instant submission is a red flag in my book.   I don't know why so many people insist upon it right away anyways.

Hi owned, glad you chimed in. I know I must seem like I have no compassion at all and am nothing but a hardass when it comes to stuff like this. Actually, even though I take the hardline I actually do feel for these folks. If I didn't care one whit then I wouldn't bother to be posting. I'm pretty sure that you do understand where I'm coming from.

Last night before I made this post I was reading the boards and I just started doing a slow burn at the one sidedness of it all. It seems like 9 times out of 10 it's the guys who are the assholes, the idiots, the abusers....taking liberties where they shouldn't. I almost never see posts where someone is stepping up to the plate and saying they were equally responsible. Well I think that in the majority of cases, you can't be victimized by someone unless you allow them to victimize you.

Ignorance and naievety are poor excuses even though it may indeed be the root cause of much of this. If you break a law you can't go before a judge and claim that you were ignorant or naive and expect to get out of paying your fine. If you go buy a fifth of whiskey from the store and you decide to go home and drink the whole thing and then go for a drive and you kill someone, it's not the cashier at the store who will be sitting behind those bars. Life doesn't give you Mulligans.

I guess the reason I say it so loudly is because I hope that maybe even just once my words may cause someone to stop and think about what they are doing. Most of these "accidents" I see here are preventable with just a little thought.

I have a theory about submissives who seem overly keen to submit. I think they're just new to the lifestyle and haven't had much r/l contact with O/others in the lifestyle, I took -ages- to get Myself to My first ever munch, and when I got there, I had trouble speaking! lol. So I think being a newbie goes some way in explaining why they do what they do.

As for Dominants who expect instant submission, I think it partly to do with being a "newbie" ( I hate that phrase), but mostlt I think its just due to showing off-a way to "show" You're a Dominant. I've been on C.M a year or two and I've noticed the banter between Dommes/Dominants and submissives/slaves, and there's little or no posturing, I think it's because there's an understanding between the various orientations of what that orientation means, but that has to be learned through interactions with O/others in the lifestyle-D and s so that E/each of U/us "learns" how to "carry" O/ourselves as Dominant, submissives, etc.

As for saying submissives are partly to blame for the rudeness of someone who just decided to contact them, I don't agree, I think there's no excuse for it-they don't ask for it, or in anyway, say "talk down to me all you like".

If that's what was behind your thread, why didn't you say that?  The way you phrased things, it came accross as being rather moralistic and judgemental about what people write in their emails and the people who respond to emails you dont approve of.

But, if your point that the victim/victimizer framework is faulty, well thats different.  And, I might add, would make a more interesting thread.

"on your knees bitch" does work absolutely.  In fact, all sorts of stupid shit works.

When I first started into BDSM chatrooms were fairly new and I used to get women all the time with nothing more than "on your knees bitch"

On some level, that is still my approach.


Michael, thank you for your honesty. I'd like to ask if at that time, was it about getting laid for you....or did you think it was a good way to find people you wanted to consider for the long term?

While it may still be your approach on some level, it's definitely not on the same level I am talking about here. You are one of the most insightful people here and I love to read your thoughts. You reach a level of honesty about yourself that most people could never go to.


Erin, it was about a lot of things, getting laid far above long term relationship. 

Some women WANT to be taken, WANT to be forced and discovering how to do that safely and healthily takes time and will vary with who you have for a partner.  I still don't negotiate, I still don't make a big deal about limits although in my own way I do both.  There are women I want that it doesn't work for and, lucky for us both, it works for BSB and I although we are still working in the kinks...

present tense?

The "on your knees" approach could be simplified to:  "This is what I want."  Maybe the language isn't the most endearing; still...

I'm surprised there's less talk about, "This is what I can do." [well, maybe from the submissives and slaves, but hey, Dom[me]s do it too]; and rarer still..."This is who I am."

*scratches his head*

When was the last time someone started a thread simply discussing who they are?  Hmm.  Maybe it's more clandestine for the chatrooms...

Personally I believe its folks watching too many porno's, reading too many bullshit BDSM porn websites and having highly unrealistic expectations of what to expect as a result. You may even find that they are like this in a normal relationship, the good old " Hi, you've pulled" brigade. I've seen many of that type in bars and clubs, generally on their knees in agony after trying in on because the young lady who has been unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of their innane attempt have decided to put the stiletto straight into wedding tackle! Some people enjoy the experience, I personally feel the pain subliminally lol

Hi Erin, thanks for your reply.  I do know where you are coming from, but it's true if I didn't know you better I would think you lacked compassion here.  Then again I try to be one who softens blows, since my past experience with hard punches was to be flattened, not inspired.  We come from opposite ends of this spectrum, which is cool of course, but I had to toss my pennies into the bucket.

I fully support the concept that victims allow themselves to be victimized.  I did it for years.  But I couldn't see and understand that until I was ready to see and understand it, and until then, any "hard ass" remark to me ended up being destructive, rather than constructive.  Once again, different sides of the same coin.

Ignorance and naivety are reasons.  I see them as neither poor excuses nor good excuses; they are simply reasons.  We are ALL ignorant and naive on something, and if we blow it, we blow it.  Now, some reasons are more acceptable than others, and that's where we all have opinions on what is what.  I'm probably going to be more tolerant of someone making bad relationship choices than I am of someone drunk driving and killing someone.

Totally understandable and people speak and understand different "languages."  If you reach someone with your words than you've done well!  And I'm guessing you probably have.  But you know me, I balance the tough words out with my "just love everyone" talks.

I can't even begin to count the number of posts I have seen on these boards alone from an "s" type complaining that all of the "D" types who contact them expect instant submission or instant service or instant sex. They want to know if this is normal....they want to know why. What generally happens is that everyone here jumps on board to tell them to ignore men like that or tell them what an asshole the guy in question is. While I certainly don't disagree that they are indeed assholes, I also believe that there is more that leads up to those kind of contacts in at least some of the situations.

First, there are sooooooo many of them who try that approach (like the guy who sent me an e mail today...from Texas...."crawl to me"). I have to believe that they are getting this from somewhere. Somewhere out there it must be written that this is a tactic that works, it is just too coincidental that such a large number of men would use the exact same approach.


mist, I keep telling you I am from Colorado...NOT Texas...and the reason I want you to crawl is to get to all these hot Rocky Mtn. Oysters.

quote:

Secondly, the approach must actually work at least some of the time. Heck, I know it does....just read the posts from some of these submissives here who jump right in blind, head first, fully bound who post here crying after the fact. "I did it because he told me to and he is a DOM". Yup, I think that there are tons of women out there who just want to kneel at the feet of someone...anyone...and they flop themselves down in front of anyone who requests or demands them to.

So before we jump all over the guys and lay the full weight of responsibility at their feet, I think we also need to say thanks to some of our own kind for liberally fueling the fire of these guys.


Actually, as noted, it must work for some.  Like Michael, when I first came into BDSM, I did it via chatrooms.  I observed and learned and what seemed to work best for many was that approach of arrogance and superiority:  "Kneel before Me, bitch."  It worked great to get phone sex and from there, to getting laid.  What I learned though was this...if they would kneel for me with just that phrase and just a little time of knowing me from the chatroom, they would kneel for anyone from just a little time of knowing them in the chatroom...and I don't want someone who kneels for anyone.  What I learned was that it was not so great for long-term because in all honesty, though I am not a saint, I am not and cannot be an arrogant bastard for the majority of the time.  Self assured?  Yeah...and in some ways, that does come across as arrogance to many vanilla-types and even some S-types.  But I don't expect to be everyone's cup of tea, nor do I want to be.

Resident Sadist noted this:  "First of all, I am dead sexy and if you don't get wet on our first date and aren’t having multiple orgasms by our second date, I failed my job.  Sex is a tool.  But that rare exception aside, being as humble as I am, I would say:

I think it comes down to “educated preference.”   All D types are assholes to a degree.  It comes with the job.  The question is if they can sell it and make their chauvinism palatable.  I am a chauvinist to a degree.  I am a chauvinist by educated choice, not out of ignorance.  I truly am a macho type, alpha dude.  It is the role that best suites me.  I never approach with the “bow down” attitude and I am not self deluded in thinking I am “better” than female slaves.  I think I am different and that is where my chauvinistic view of inequality comes in.  I have my male roles and females have theirs.  .. it is my educated preference. "

I agree.  I too am handsome, charming and debonair...and sexy as hell.  But when you get tired of looking at me...and I know that's hard...we have to interact with each other with one leading (ME) and one following (YOU).  With that self-assurance comes a certain amount of "asshole".  Part of that is perception...how many submissives don't think "asshole" sometimes...even if only rarely...when their dominant tells them to do something that the submissive does not like and yet knows they are going to do?  And part of that is necessary...if you expect the dominant to be firm and to lead and agree to it, then sometimes his ways of leading are not always going to be seen in the best light but they are what works for him/her to move that dynamic ahead.  Some submissives see that in a bad light at the beginning of a relationship..."You're not my dominant yet, you cannot tell me what to do" and yet, they expect the dominant to show dominant characteristics.  I do it in much the same manner that Raven does...my own view of that is "fine, if you want ME to show you this to demonstrate dominant behavior, then I expect THIS behavior from you.  I don't command it nor do I demand it but I expect a fair exchange" and to many, this is unbelievable.  Fine then, in a manner of speaking, head down the road.

Thank you ownedgirlie for filling in the blanks of my post i had left in order to be succinct. Being new, eager to please, and making mistakes has no bearing on ones intelligence. To say it does is rather offensive in my opinion, however, im not personalizing this because i am so over all that.
I do have compassion for those who suffer, as i remember when i was new and didn't know better, made some bad choices and learned the hard way.

What is the problem..if someone wants soemthing from you..that you don't want...the don't. There are so many things that people expect..in daily life too.
It is not soemthing related to the lifestyle.

In a situation there is always a sender and reciever....if there reciever doesn't allow to recieve..then there is no problem. And the sender has no function.

of course... you opinion is based on the assumption that these guys actually expect it to work... maybe they are just doing it to fuck with people's heads.... I have to wonder if they are as shocked as anyone when this approach actually gets results.
