ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus A submissive has to reallllly get to know me before he gets to have any kind of sex with me, worshipful or otherwise. Offering that kind of thing from the get-go is distinctly unappealing. Sure, I agree intimacy and attraction matters. While the threshhold may be less for men, it matters for most men as well. Still, I don't think that the requirement for intimacy or attraction removes the potential for D/s value. To address the discussion more generally outside the post I quote above, in oral sex one person expends physical energy to provide pleasure to another while receiving no direct physical gratification (any accompanying arousal I consider to come from mental gratification). One person puts their mouth, usually a symbolically high part of one's body, on another's genitalia, which can be seen as a symbolically lesser part of the body (like the ass or feet). I think it is this symbolism that lends to the worship dynamic. When one person expends energy simply for the pleasure or comfort of another without direct compensation (be it cooking a meal, be it giving a massage, be it oral sex), it can come from fondness or affection, submission, worship, or a little of each. These motivations are not the comprehensive list of motivations to provide oral sex but I do see them as legitimate motivations. One point that has been raised is that even vanilla men like to provide oral sex, and that D/s is being used as a guise for an activity that is enjoyed by vanilla men. Outside of BDSM, why do men who enjoy giving oral pleasure alone for the sake of providing it enjoy it, and is that motivation antithetical to D/s? Cheers, Sea
