Hello osf, simpler, hell no more complex, only if we make it complex we have many more traits that we have to balance out in a potential partner and most often we in this start out on the wrong foot by by stressing those traits that will soon doom any budding relationship, the physical other person and love should be at the bottom of the list You know I kind of agree with this. I used to have "hard limits" but realized that they were only hard limits because I was afraid to face something. In the right environment I could and would face them. I thought it also set me up for people to avoid me if for example I hated tickling (I do, btw). But what if the perfect-for-me dominant loves tickling? Would I be willing to give that up, that hard limit? Yes. I definitely would. To put out in the forefront what is our "perfect" relationship can "doom" the real relationship, to use your term. This does not mean, don't know what you like. But it does mean realize what is and is not truly important. *Here we are, back to SIMPLICITY. as we grow up with no role models on how a d/s relationships works , when we start out after awakening so to say we are no better than teens beginning to date and discover life few seem to realize we have to go through a similar dating and discovery process to find where our place is and what traits we should seek in a partner I'm not sure I agree with this. Even though I am into kink, what I'm looking for is not really that much different than what I was looking for before - humor, calm, belonging, a person with his life well managed, a partner, someone I can talk to. We add the kink, the D/s... not really that different from the 'nilla relationships I've had. Maybe I just chose more assertive men? i keep telling newly awakened subbies to play the field and not get serious about a partner you may have to blow a lot of frogs to find your prince That is true! We need to certainly encourage new folks (of all stripes) to learn the norms of their new culture and to express themselves within that new context... and to find out what works for them it cant be read about, it cant be found in all the knowledge on line, it cant be found by talking to all the subbies in the universe for what she seeks is what it feels like to be in thrall to a suitable partner and you can only learn about feelings by experiencing them I think that the end point is true in this scenario. However, I think learning, reading, discussing can all be a part of awakening a person. How do you know a suitable partner if you don't know that you don't know... and you don't know that there are questions to ask let alone which ones. for doms its a different process but no less time consuming maybe even more time consuming I imagine that in the "sensitive new age guy" society we live in, learning to strip off those diplomatic, play nice attitudes is part of what a D type has to handle. But really... we all go through that. Could you perhaps talk a bit about the process from that side of things? my 2 cents Mine too... three more people, and we will have a dime... maybe worth a cup of coffee somewhere! best, sunshine
