Yes, I read the whole darn thing just so I could get to this part. I'm sure in some way this will lead to Mister P asking Me exactly when I intend to start getting ready for the munch tonight, but it will be worth it. First, I want to point out that the same discussion is being held on the "Ask A Mistress" forum, with the gender roles reversed. In other words, what do femdoms think of female submissives? Yes, that thread has run about the length of this one. No, the bias of some folks doesn't transcend the gender issue. Out of the roughly 400 responses combined in both threads, a few folks have pointed out that it isn't gender that is the source of why a person has chosen to follow the path of being either a Dominant or a submissive. Does that bias happen? Absolutely, it does, as evidenced both here and on the other thread. Why does it happen? Personally, I can't say. The only thing I can say is that it occurs because of the reasons that some small minded people can come up with, usually related to fear of what they don't understand or can't grasp the concept of. As some pointed out, if anything, it's good to think that a friend is pursuing what makes them happy, and as a consequence takes one more fish out of the sea in the competition arena. Why anyone would want someone who is suppose to be a friend to live in a way that didn't make them happy, and rather follow some stereotype is beyond Me. I'm not the first person to say that I understand where Focus is coming from with his comments, but I'm going to echo it. I don't think he was coming from the position of radar, subdar, or gaydar. I think it stems more from his perception of how he would have the opportunity to be exposed to a person's full life if he considered someone to be a best friend. In the course of twenty years or so (as the example stated, "a best friend since college") yes, sooner or later, you're going to be involved in that other person's life on multiple levels. Home, family, other relationship structures, etc. I can't imagine someone being My best friend, for that many number of years, with whom I would hide such an important part of Myself. Doesn't say much for someone who titles themselves a "friend" in the first place, does it? Now, let Me get to the reason that I went through this entire thread. I just had to reply to this...... quote: ORIGINAL: MisterP61 quote: ORIGINAL: FullfigRIMAAM1 quote: ORIGINAL: NecesitesMe Some I have even counseled on what they need to do to get their balls back... yet they refuse.

Thanks for a though provoking post Cat. MrP I'm not sure if this "getting the balls back" is supposed to be a comment on male submission or not. For what it's worth, most of the Dominant people I know recognize the fact that it takes more balls to submit than to Dominate. Maybe that's what spurs the issue in the first place.

FullfigRIMAAM1 -> RE: Male Perceptions of males (1/7/2009 3:59:15 PM)
I agree with you that it takes a real man with balls to learn how to make his marriage work with the lover he chose. I was saying essentially what you said to the male who stated the words to which you object. quote: NecesitesMeI have plenty of male friends who I would never consider submissive.... until I see them with their wives. Some I have even counseled on what they need to do to get their balls back... yet they refuse. Alas, I just pour another scotch and justify their situation by saying "That must be some good stuff."

And some people are just naturually more mellow or more bossy than others. I have a couple of friends with whom have no, and I mean NO kink in their lives whatsoever, but she's the boss of them both and he's quite happy like that. Sometimes it's not about dominant or submissive, male or female, just human beings and their personalities.

quote: ORIGINAL: Aneirin I just wonder at the male doms, is it they don't want a male sub because even if they did not feel it themselves, they think others would start drawing conclusions about their sexuality ?

That is just the nature of the beast. Yet that's not entirely true as friendship could be offered which more often than not, friendship isn't sought after nor is it welcomed in many cases.

Full, I probably should have taken Your part of the quote out, because I was commenting on the others comment, but I saw Yours as pertinent to what was said. It does take more balls to put in the effort required to keep a happy healthy marriage. If it was read wrong, I apologize. MrP

Personally, any fem/sub I'm in a relationship with will definitely qualify as my friend, too. But let's pretend for a minute that we're talking about some other hetero Dom who doesn't desire friendship and love etc from his female submissive. I'm curious why you'd think that would or could change with a male submissive in his service...? If you're talking outside of service, well there are still fem/subs in my life that are my friends....

So domination is about sex If you say so - you're entitled to your opinion but stop trying to pass it off as something I said. Yanno, the more you try to reduce complex dynamics to throw-away one-liners, the more you present as a theory riddled blow-hard whose own life experience ends at the keyboard behind Mum's basement door. I can see you're trying waaaaay to hard to be clever but if you really wanna have an intelligent discussion then it's time to ante up with a bit of substance that real people living real lives can relate to. Focus.
