If I was using this site as a dating service, I would see the so called RED FLAGS everyones talking about right here on the forum.. forget the profiles. It makes trying to seek information for some newbies even more confused. And those actually seeking... seek elsewhere. How can a submisive/slave... have trust and faith... with a flip flop Dom? How can a sub/slave believe in communication... if it's going to be ignored? How can a sub/slave express feelings, if it's going to be ignored?? Doms/Dommes... how can you expect your sub/slave to communicate their feelings, thoughts, ideas, if you see yourselfs within your right to totaly ignore them when they try? Where does the communication actually come in at? Where does the sharing actually come in at? For that matter, where does the caring for what you own actually come into all this? I think the red flags SHOULD be up for anyone here...certain limitations to email/boards but on the other hand the ability to communicate with people from all over. Pros/Cons... As for faith in a 'flip flop' Dom...I believe part of the process for both Dom and submissive is self-awareness; whatever role you take in whatever 'arena', there will be times that your reaction will not be it's best; the aspect of Dom, is taking a look at everything and deciding from that perspective, not being reactive...your question seems more like a 'relationship' type D/s situation and in either situation both parties need to take responsibilty for fulfilling their roles... As for 'ignoring' feelings, thoughts, etc...again that would be based on the situation and people, like any other relationship; My vanilla relationship which has ended after 12 years. one of the complaints was not 'acting' on her complaints...what she stated had been heard and acted upon when appropriate, but I didn't announce myself everytime I acted as she requested...another was that she felt as a 'second-class' individual next to Me...this was because she felt that intellectually, spiritually I brought more to her than she did to me; I enjoyed watching her learn and grow...she came to resent the fact that I was the force behind a lot of her becoming who she is now...that ties into your statement regarding communication; different expectations, differring perspectives...never clearly stated... In getting to know people online and in person; I have a label which is just a generalization but it is a starting point and there is a lot more information seeking than 'out there'; not only interests, blah, blah blah...but expectations, parameters, etc...different sub/slaves are seeking differing experiences just as different Dom/Dommes are seeking different things. Myself, I welcome questions, seeking, trying to understand why one feels as they do; but there are times instead of her being reactive, I would expect her to be contemplative and understand why? Then speak with Me. I have the habit of not saying anything if everything is acceptable and others need the positive feedback where I tend to only give praise when something is beyond what is expected...it's primarily that you are supposed to know how I feel since I am in this situation (another problem in my ending vanilla...). As for my reacting to that communication, that would be an ongoing process. Sort of a long response which could just focus on both individuals in a D/s situation/relationship needs to be responsible in My view; My responsibility is to get to know her intimately enough that there is the trust that I will protect her, cherish her, help her grow and become more aware of herself...her responsibility is to give of herself completely, to obey...together our responsibility is to set out clearly how we are going to achieve that and understand this is a dynamic... Now looking for coffee, too much typing... C
