ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant .even giving him the benefit of the doubt and taking away 25% of what he says about NOT being interested in a long-term relationship and NOT wanting it to be a loving relationship (note that I did not say a "being in love" relationship), We may be talking semantics, here. I never mentioned that I didn't want a long-term relationship, in fact I've specifically stated that I DO want/need this to be a long-term thing, just built on different foundations than your "typical" long-term relationship. And love? I have no problem loving or being loved. I just don't want that to have any bearing on the nature of the relationship. I want us to both be there because we like what we're getting out of it for ourselves, not because we "complete" each other in any arcane soulmate sort of way. No one should enter into a relationship in which all the wanting/meeting of that wanting is solely one-sided. However, your original profile indicated that most of the work would be being done by the submissive and that said work would be centered around your desire for an objet d'arte. Now, the argument could be made that she would not be there if she did not want to be an objet d'arte but if that is all she wants, then I think that you would do better looking amongst those in the avant-garde art world, as has been suggested. Despite what has been said about TPE submissives, I see little here that resembles a TPE relationship. quote:

he is still asking for a hell of a lot of submission to fulfill a fetish/obsession/desire. And his statement of attaining a specific goal with very defining characteristics, when taken along with his statements regarding relationships that involve loving and caring, certainly do not indicate that he would be there if an accident such as DES mentioned became fact. Damn straight I am. And think about it this way - if I find someone that has that sort of drive and dedication to become what I want, and they have some sort of horrible mutilating accident, I will damn well find a way to keep utilizing them, if they're willing. And this is the first time you have mentioned any sort of responsible domination...any other sort of domination at all...outside of your training and molding them into a specific object. quote:
Example: While I find this girl hot, I find this girl infinitely hotter. I'll chime in with the statement of "interesting choice of photos". I find appeal in the first and none at all in the second, which goes to show the truism of the old maxim of "different strokes for different folks". And then let's go out on a limb and say that someone's body is damaged enough that they can't fulfill my desires anymore. Am I just going to walk away after a long and wonderful working relationship? No. Because I'm not an ass. Of course it will probably end the play relationship, in the same sense that when Weng Yan got paralyzed practicing for the Olympics in 2007, (or Sang Lan in 1998, for that matter) her gymnastics coach PROBABLY stopped working with her on her uneven bars. But I have a feeling they still talk and have a good respect for each other, even if he can't keep training her. But will you be responsible for her care? Will you give her the relationship she might have had if not for being permanently injured by fulfilling your desire and...to be fair...her own inner need to submit to this type of domination/body sculpting? Or will you only be her friend, able to live with the fact that satisfaction of your desire led to another's permanent injury? Yes, the woman who submits to your training regimen and your sculpting is an adult, capable of walking away and another old saying is "Buyer...beware". But an old conservative type like me runs into a bit of thinking about the responsibilites I have in terms of what happens to another at my hands. quote:
Why do you assume that just because I want something difficult, strenuous, and with harsh physical prerequisites, that I'm going to be a dick to people about it? I like people. And I value connections and relationships. I just also happen to need to do this, and I've been burned out of mixing my love with my kink so I'm trying to formulate a new, more rigidly defined set of goals and prerequisites. I'm always willing to accept that I'm doing it wrong (or I wouldn't be starting these threads), but if I'm going to be told that I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong, right down to choosing what to do in the first place, I'm going to need to establish some trust and some ground-work before I'm willing to take such criticism at face value. Does this make sense?quote:
Perhaps I see you that way because, in my perception, that is how you presented yourself. quote:
It's been noted on here that there are "probably" plenty of female submissives who are into TPE that would love this type of relationship and I have to ask: where are they, then? Have you met SunnyFey yet? That's her, 3 or 4 posts up. I've seen her posts. Sorry to sound so cynical but until the day you come on here and can state that she...or any other TPE submissive...has come to you and said "Sign me up AND now, let's do this. I am willing...", I'll continue to feel that way. quote:
quote:
Why has this dominant been bombarded on this post with those female submissives seeking him out? I presume you intended a 'not' there, and I'll go out on a limb and say: When have you ever seen a male dominant bombarded in a forum post by female submissives seeking him out? That doesn't happen here, and you know it. In fact, people regularly mock those who try to get it happen, so why would you use that circumstance as an example for success at anything? quote:
Could it be because those who are interested in TPE want there to be other power coming forth from this dominant that would encompass something other than his "remodeling" of her for one specific purpose? Of course it could. It could also be several other things. No, I have not seen male dominants bombarded by posts to take them up on their ways but then, in all honesty, there have not been that many things proposed that are of this nature. And yes, it could be several other things...or it could be the thing I noted.
