ORIGINAL: youngsubgeoff Im an early bloomer, having discovered my submissive tendancies at a young age. Most people dont discover this side of there sexuality until they're in their 30s or 40s on average (my observation). My want is to find someone to marry, have kids, etc. A normal appearing life with the D/s relationship under the surface. Just how young are you? Early 20s? I wonder how much people are just "discovering" such tendencies in the 30s and 40s and how much of it is finally being in a place in your life where you're comfortable more actively pursuing the satisfaction of tendencies you've been aware of for a long time. Part of that comfort may be that a person has already been through the early stages of raising kids and is ready to reassert more "me" time. I'm happily childless myself, but among my friends it's pretty standard to have the experience of having kids changing things and reorienting their relationship around the children. Not to say that they stop having sex, just that young children present urgent demands on one's time and emotional reserves and part of being a responsible loving parent is putting the child's needs ahead of one's own more than one would in just about any other relationship. (even a D/s relationship). My gut response to your inquiry is to suggest that you focus on finding a woman you love and want to have kids with and let the bdsm thing work itself out in its own time. It's not that I think there's no one out there who wants the same things you want. But that person is going to be difficult to find, and I feel like what you're looking for is borderline "having it all" territory. Great work if you can get it, but sometimes you need to make priorities or you end up with next to nothing. Yes, Im 22, and Ive been in this lifestyle for the last 4 years. Yes, Im well aware of the difficulties of raising kids, but it doesnt stop my desire to have them. The problem I have with what your suggesting is it sounds like settling for less, and I cannot do that. I cant shut my eyes to what Ive seen and experience in the last four years, and I dont want to. If I do that, I will end up resenting my wife and kids. I feel like we tell people to settle for less in this society, to take what you can get, and then sit back and wonder why 51% of marriages fail, why the majority of kids today are raised by a single parent, and why the legal system is so full of fathers that cant pay child support. I know your trying to be helpful, but I want to have my cake and eat it too.
