Kursal -> RE: Could you ever be happy in a vanilla relationship? (3/3/2009 5:13:29 AM)
I'm afraid it's a no from me. I've been in some great vanilla relationships but they were all doomed to failure. Whilst the BDSM lifestyle is not one that permeates every fiber of my being, I am a dom and I believe that is something that you are, to the extent that it doesn't suddenly get switched off.

*NO.* I tried for a loooong time. WAY past the point of diminishing returns. I can't be vanilla. Its just not me.

Ok... Poof! Just like that! I'm grateful for your answers and responses....there's a lot to digest here.. but at the end of the day.. subjectively, it doesn't matter how incredible someone is or how much I respect their accomplishments, or how I see them. If she doesn't do it for me then she doesn't.. If there is a power struggle involved in the relationship then my response is fixed.. I simply need more than that. And what I need is the woman I am attracted to in every way, to do it for me and yield herself to me.....PERIOD! I can be empathetic towards someone... I can relate and befriend and even feel love for someone but the One...I do it for has to be rightly related and there has to be an order and structure to it that leaves each of us knowing we will go to any length for the other, for our other... Nothing short of what I need in a power based relationship will ever suffice. Thanks for everyone's input here... and your perspective....

One thing I discovered is that I don't need to have a full on M/s relationship with me being the M, but I cannot stand them challenging my power and constantly pushing buttons. It's either, be at my feet, or do your own thing and leave me to mine.

Similar to what others have mentioned, vanilla sex doesn't get me off. I still like it, but I most likely (though never say never) literally will not have orgasms. So, that would not be satisfying. And without that; sure, I could love somebody a lot, but I will love them as a friend (that is, platonically.) And there's nothing wrong with that.

~FR~ Nope. It might be great to start off, but i'd eventually end up regretting giving up something that makes me feel so complete. i spent a lot of years married regretting things - not gonna go there again.

quote: ORIGINAL: Phanes <snip>Could you be content in a monogamous vanilla relationship? <snip> I suck at monogamy. It is just a fact. I can't not look or want and i "trip and my clothes fall off" like a 70's porno. I have tried and can do it for periods of time IF i know that the boundary will drop again. I ache not being able to love the people i love in the all the ways that i love them. Vanilla i don't know about really since i don't know if you mean the relationship style or the sex. Egalitarian relationship sort of Vanilla? I have only had a few relationships that were even sort of vanilla swirl. I hate having power struggles with my lovers so the d/s just seems sensible to me; it helps make it clear who does what and when (yes I am talking about chores and paying bills as well as who does the kneeling and who gets knelt to). So possibly if the "rules" of the equality were really clear and consistent and I didn't have to be a nag to make them live up to their side of the agreement. Vanilla sex? I need the "kink" to get off. It is just a fact of my sexuality. So missionary with the lights off occasionally is fine (specially if he just takes it rawr!), but as the norm? no. Giving up orgasms with my partner and knowing that the sex was always going to leave me cold and unfulfilled would be a serious issue for me. I have loved some amazing people and have had to walk away because our needs were too different, be they sexual, financial, religious, or life goal. I have found for my heart, it is best to walk sooner than later if there is a fundamental incompatibility in the relationship, before you have to break hearts and take back promises and burn the bridges of the friendship.

celess -> RE: Could you ever be happy in a vanilla relationship? (3/7/2009 7:17:02 AM)
Maybe I am confused. But I thought the whole point of D/s is to find someone eventually you could possibly be with in vanilla. I am starting to realize that D/s has become more about gratification, please, and kink. You know the spankings, the whippings, the control or submission. I think it has something to do with the trend. Bring back what D/s really means.

G'morning all: quote: ORIGINAL: evelinggirl I know that my kink factors do not rule my life, so, yes, of course I CAN live without it but...do I WANT to...? No, of course not. This encapsulates my theory on the topic. Being dominant fulfills a very particular need in my life and I'm not willing to do without it. Anyone that wants to interact with me socially or romantically needs to understand and accept this or keep it moving. I have no time in my life for non-compatible individuals. It keeps my select circle of friends/acquaintances small. Which is just how I like it. Peaceful and harmonious. Stay safe, play nice, & share your toys with others... [:D] Bella

Perhaps that's the point of D/s to YOU, but it certainly isn't the point to all of us. Perhaps you separate your vanilla world from your D/s world, but I don't, and wouldn't even know how. I won't even touch the statement "what D/s really means." Cali

quote: Could you be content in a monogamous vanilla relationship? How do you expect people to answer a "what if" question in any meaningful way? In general, people do what they do when they're confronted with a situation, which tends to happen without being announced beforehand. I am sure you'll get some answers, but why you would want to collect useless information is completely beyond me.

monogamous yes. Vanilla...oh no~[;)]

rubberpet -> RE: Could you ever be happy in a vanilla relationship? (3/7/2009 10:50:12 AM)
I was in a vanilla relationship for almost two years and while I was generally happy, I was still left with unsatisfied needs. So with that knowledge and experience, I'd rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't share my kinks.

prpackaged -> RE: Could you ever be happy in a vanilla relationship? (3/7/2009 11:15:45 AM)
I asm fascinated to find that on this site the request is always for vanilla start then what might develop after. Seems a poor dom who honors a promise mde without working out the kinks first doe not have a chance. All these subs who state that they have a kink that needs to be scratched but only after submission to the vanilla standards and all those who claim that everyone else is a player and that they are the only true Sadist/Dom/Domme here leave me in a turned off mode. Would love to enjoy that finer points of kink yet do prefer to know a person first. Fir safety do become knowledgable of the dom/sub that you are interested in learning about but also remember that this site was for kink not vanillaa. In short, yes I enjoy the relationships much more than I enjoy the kink and I could subsist in a vanilla relationship if only the rest of the relationship was real.
