Ok, so this is a rant, and I'm not expecting anyone to -fix- anything... just feeling the need to bitch. I've had some interesting contacts this week... in particular, a couple of gentlemen who contacted me because they wanted to be spanked, diapered, etc. I am pretty clear... ok, more than pretty clear... on my profile that I don't do age-play, adult baby, diapers, etc... plus, I'm not really that into OTK (I guess I should specify that, too, but my Darling does like the occasional OTK, so I left it unmentioned, since a servant serving me may end up over my Darling's knee, so I don't want to rule it out for a servant entirely). After letting these gentlemen know that I really don't get into the whole ageplay/diapers scene, I got an email back from one of these guys saying, basically, that he's been repressing this need his whole life (he is 46), and that if I were a decent -person- (not even a 'real domme' or 'good domina' or whatever... but just a decent -person-) I would be willing to help him get relief from his years of repression by giving him what he wants/needs. Ok, I'm calling "bullshit". I have made difficult choices to be able to be straightforward about who and what I am as a person. I've done my best to be honest about myself, and dealt with my life in such a way that I could be honest -with- myself. I have avoided the temptation to repress those aspects of myself that are less "acceptable" to the mainstream, and have dealt with the complications that my decision brought out in my life. I have been both responsible and open in my decision-making process, and even in my most vanilla relationship (a 13-year marriage), I stayed as true to both the commitment I made -and- the core of my own nature as possible, and was completely up-front about who and what I was from day 1 of the relationship. I'm sorry if Joe Baby has repressed his need for OTK and diapers for his whole adult life. That was his own choice -- he chose to be seen a certain way by society at large, and to repress parts of himself to do so. I do not feel -any- responsibility for helping a total stranger to correct the framework of his life because he chose to follow a path that denied a portion of himself. Call me cold, callous, and uncaring. The truth is, I really -don't- care about a total stranger, and feel no compulsion to bring someone who has been dishonest with hirself for hir entire adult life into our household while xhe figures out whether or not xhe's capable of claiming hir authentic self, or whether, after a couple of spankings, xhe's going to start feeling guilty again or succumb to pressures from associates, friends, etc., and ditch us to return to hir chosen repression.
