I'm only dominated by what I LET dominate me

Status: offline 		Yes, it happens quite often that someone is dominated by their own fetish....the case of the do-me sub comes to mind where the Dom/me is just a bit player acting out a part in the subs' script. That type of person is certainly driven by their own wants and fails to see the other as a living, breathing human being.

Is it a truism to say that people in general are driven by their fetish? No, I'd have to say that's not my impression and isn't personally how things are for me. I'd take a vanilla relationship if it made me happy.

Fulfillment is love. It arises in the only place it is ever felt, one's very own heart. It is neither given nor taken, but shared. It can be inspired, but cannot be exchanged in a bargain of giving to get.

I'm dominated by what I'm told I'm dominated by, by whom I'm dominated by.

Perhaps...for most people with a singular ego.
But then I am one of a multiple.. a twin...and spent my childhood emotionally conjoined and with shared ego function.
The psychology of this is not yet written but I'm embarking on writing about it academically.
Thus for me ego always will have, as it aways did have, an external (othert) as well as an internal (self) association.
Somewhat beyond the remit of the original opening question granted.

For once, and I am quite pleasantly surprised, I am in complete agreement.

Status: offline 		If you are talking a true fetish, something you must have in order to become sexually aroused, then yes. It's like an addiction because you can't manage without it.

But if you mean it the way people here usually do, then no. Because I like bondage but I like loving sex just as much. I don't require ropes to become aroused.

Status: offline 		Basic answer: it depends. Some people are more fetishists, some are more attuned to the interpersonal aspect of D/s.

I agree with DesFIP for the most part. A fetish, strictly defined, is a fixation so strong that it is necessary for sexual gratification. I think few people get to that level with another person, but some probably do. For some, I imagine that the D/s relationship itself becomes a fetish.

Status: offline 		I figure most any toy or technique in BDSM can be used in a way I'll love or hate, depending on how it's done, how warmed up I am, etc. This includes psychological things like humiliation. If I don't feel submissive toward the specific person, as I do with my Master and did with my previous Dominant, I don't get "dominated" at all, though. I enjoy getting thwacked and tied up, or vice versa, in an egalitarian kinky or casual playpartnership, but there isn't any domination involved in the slightest.

I have to agree with Celeste that it all depends upon your definition of FETISH. If the fetish is required for arousal then it is addiction and the person is likely dominated by it per definition. The trick here is we really don't know how many people are content with loving sex or even able to perform loving sex without the fetish fantasy. Survey sez????
