ORIGINAL: TreasureKY In D/s relationships where truthfulness and trust are so highly vaunted, I question the wisdom of a dominant making such an ultimatum… one that, for all intents and purposes, is not true. Since it seems to be a common ultimatum, is there some other purpose for this that I am missing? I'm gonna go with the ol' reliable "'cause it's hot" reason. Seriously, I think in most (or at least many) cases where this ultimatum is used, it's to suggest that the dominant has more power than the submissive; that the submissive is dependent on his/her goodwill, thus making the submissive feel vulnerable and giving the illusion that the dominant is not. In reality, of course, a submissive (of healthy mind) isn't going to stay with a crappy, unsatisfying dominant anymore than a dominant is going to stay with a crappy, unsatisfying submissive. It may be a reality that a submissive may try a bit harder/longer than the dominant, but it may not...depends on the individual.
