i want to dispel the myth of saint dom and strong independent submissive

if he's a saint and she is independent what need she they of each other

what is the real meaning of a sexual dominant and submissive and what do they have to contribute to the relationship, notice i didn't say to each other as it is my belief that both serve the relationship and through that render what the other wants

this is about hard core d/s

this thread is open to comment

i don't have all the answers, just the answers that work for me

nothing, there has to be an interdependence of need and desires

something more complimentary than often found in nilla

sorry, no such thing as a submissive brat, just a brat playing at being submissive

the point is going in you say what you are then be what you say

What kind of negative impacts do you see this "over-romanticizing" of D/s relationships having?

This may be the crux at which you find unrealistic expectations. It just happens all the time.

I rather like a romantic D/s relationship.  Sir and I were very much in love and romantic, but at the same time very much D/s and very secure in our "roles," and knew who and what we were.  We both brought a lot to the relationship and to each other.

two different things

Being in love with an idea of what the relationship should be and then being disappointed when that's not how reality stacks up?

yes

it's best to know the realities and limitations before jumping in, first you have to know what you need as a sub from the relationship and what price you're willing to pay, because there is always a price

I agree with that.  It makes perfect sense.  Even vanillas should think things through before they jump in blind.

I realize that.  I was wondering more what kind of unrealistic expectations you are referring to.  Do you have any specific examples in mind?

but for you as a sub the price is even greater, after all you want a person to whom you give authority

and he is going to have a mind of his own and his desires may not always be attuned to yours
