ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 And it can include what's inside as well as outside. You said nothing about personality, just what's on the "outside." I said "And being a compelling sub/Dom generally takes a bit of effort; practicing, keeping in shape, testing your boundaries..." both keeping in shape AND testing your boundaries can mean inside, outside, or both. They did, in fact. quote:
ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 hahahaha You bet it happens sometimes! The reason you don't see as many Dom/mes complaining is you're a Dom. Hey, projecting much? The reason could be that I read both d and s profiles, and the sub profiles had more mention of fakery, in context of people they'd met misrepresenting themselves. Of course, the sample group was mostly women, so this could turn into a guy vs. girl experience type of thing, but for the admittedly small sample space I saw more ups than downs crying fake. I didn't try to extrapolate from that, though, just tossed it out there. And wow, what a big response! quote:
ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 "Fuck communication?" That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! Without communication, what kind of relationship is there? I would not be in a relationship where we didn't have good communication skills and use them. It's absolutely essential. Yep. I stand by it. Too much hesistation loses the battle, and 'communication' can be an addictive substitute for manning up and actually Domming a sub. If I had not seen this end badly several times I wouldn't have said it. I have, so I did. quote:
ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 And really, even just saying "Fuck communication and ACT," is communication of a sort, albeit one-sided. Now you're on my wavelength. quote:
ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 With Sir & I, unless I'm half-dead, I always find some way to satisfy. Yet at the same time, Sir doesn't want me totally wiped out giving less-than-my-usually-fantastic lip service, or whatever, and since He's always tuned in to how I feel, I'm sure there are some times He's just never told me to. That's what I'm talking about. quote:
ORIGINAL: sweetsub1957 Hmmm. On the other hand, my Sir & I both realize that it's His right as Dominant to say "No" whenever He wishes to, and it's my place as His submissive to surrender to His wishes...and I do. I'll use a bicycle analogy, and it will probably earn me fresh flames and lulz, but here goes. That bicycle is the ultimate sub, too submissive to be considered anything but a literal tool of my will. Wherever I steer it, that is where it goes. Period. No arguments. But I STILL HAVE TO PEDAL to get anywhere. Another analogy: a car. I don't have to pedal, but I do have to keep my foot on the gas and my eyes on the road. Does that mean the car controls me? Am I my car's service top? Hah! quote:
