i have already asked this of the subs/slaves, and now would like to put the same question to all of you.


What questions do you feel are important to ask a prospective submissive/slave?

Thank you for your time.

Status: offline 		I found this topic to be interesting and entertaining in the other forums, and am delighted to see it also placed here for other Master/Dom feedback.

My approach is not checklist driven, but rather tailored to the individual. First, I try to establish an open communication with the sub/slave, as I find it much easier and more comfortable, and information flows more freely. This is when I try to establish who the person is, their vanilla lifestyle, profession, likes/dislikes, interests, hobbies, etc.

My 'consistent' lifestyle questions would include those of a nature to determine if our interests and experiences were parallel, and if not, how far away they are. I try to inquire about my particular lifestyle interests of course, but also inquire of the basics (ie. d/d free, drink, smoke, family, health, history, etc).

This will certainly come up here I'm sure, but I usually ask many many questions prior to asking the 'big one':

Do you have a webcam?

Eventually I strategically work myself into position to ask:

Do you have a picture of your boat?

Great topic for commentary across the board, thanks.

Inyouagain

"Who are you?"
The answers have run the range from blue to soul searching.

What questions do you feel are important to ask a prospective submissive/slave?



Do you really want an answer to this:

Section One: General Health Questions:

1. Any STDs?
2. Last incidence of unprotected sex?
3. Last blood test?
4. And other health issues?
5. Have you been diagnosed with any form of mental illness, and if so please give details?
6. Any drug and/or alcohol dependencies?

Section Two: General Life Questions:

1. Your list of interests and hobbies outside of BDSM?
2. What kinds of music do you like/dislike?
3. Do you like outdoor activities (hiking, camping, canoeing)?
4. How do you feel about motorcycles? As a passenger?
5. Do you like to read? If so, what?
6. What is your favorite book?
7. What is your favorite artist?
8. What is your favorite CD?
9. Can you cook? If so what is your favorite dish?
10. What are your favorite foods?
11. Do you get regular exercise?
12. Do you have any children? Do they live with you? If not, why?
13. What is your level of education?
14. What is your career field?

Section Three: Submission/Slavery Questions:

1. How much experience have you had in real life?
2. How much online?
3. Are you currently involved with another Dom/Master?


That's a start. I am sure more will come to me later.

- is, I suppose, the really key one. I sometimes have had reason to doubt the sencerity of some prospects, and I have become a little leery of their actual motorvations....

Not to find out what their limits are, but rather where their hot buttons are. I use this to gage if we are compatable sexually and it gives me directions to pursue with the slave.

as a submissive i find your lists intelligent, and appropriate also refreshing. I think all the questions you asked are very needed. The question that Eric added I think is good also. I know that i judge how i will proceede with those intial questions. First questions of babe do you swallow, any nude pics, or webcam.. will make me ignore someone very quickly.

What day, time, and place can we meet? Truly that was the only important question I asked. I wasn't interested in any type of remote relationship or even an on-line getting to know you period. I disclosed EVERYTHING to make the submissive feel safe and comfortable. Many times, I had to insist on security measure that the sub didn't consider.

But ultimately nothing said over a phone or typed into a chat interested me. If they wouldn't or couldn't meet relatively quickly - it indicated a fake or worse, a cheater. I never trusted anyone who hides behind a computer or a phone.

beth and I met one week from first contact. At the time she lived 182 miles from LA

Eventually most of the questions Shadowhawk has listed come up to which I add "Are you married, and, if so, does your partner know and approve of your search?" plus "Do you have children, and, if so, how often do they live with you?" I also have to ask "Are you willing to serve in a harem?"
