ORIGINAL: subspaceinMD quote:
You are entitled to negotiate any potential relationship, and until you are owned, you are entitled to treat any potential owner as a vanilla acquaintance, question, contradict and be a general pain in the bum. However, once you make the decision to make that person your owner, you hand over some of your autonomy to them, and the form the relationship takes is dependent on what you have negotiated beforehand. i understand what You are saying, and completely agree. However it is very hard to converse with a Dom and treat them as you would a vanilla person. i have a very hard time when meeting someone in this lifestyle (a Dominant) a treating them as a vanilla person. you are potentially meeting someone that you will submit to. How do you treat them as any normal person. for example i have a very sarcastic sense of humor, would i show that to a Dom? i feel like i wouldnt want to make them mad? Sorry - I have only just seen this, so my response is a bit late. If I were to meet a submissive who did not belong to me, and if I were to meet a submissive who might possibly belong to me in the future, I would expect the same of each of them. I would expect to be treated with civility but not servility. If I meet a sub I want to know what she is like as a person, and part of that person would, in your case, be the sarcastic sense of humour. I have a couple of online subs, and one of those has a sarcastic sense of humour. Sometimes, when it crosses the line, it does get her into trouble - but I do appreciate it as a part of her witty and lively personality. And we have now been together long enough that she knows my limits, and is able to just stay within them. Just. :) If a potential Dom/me objects to your being natural with them, and you know you are treating them with respect, then I feel that should instantly rule them out as a potential owner. Of course, all this comes with the usual disclaimer that it is only my opinion.
