Thanks to those who responded - some interesting perspectives. The reason that I ask is that last week I played a mutually enjoyable scene with a new female top. Afterwards she commented to me, "I was thinking about saying, 'I need you to make some sounds for me.'" I wouldn't have known what to do if she had in fact said that, because I'm naturally quiet, and if she said "Make some sounds", I would hear that as "Fake some sounds." It's not that I'm trying to be tough, or trying to demonstrate a willingness to take it for her, or trying to live up to some porn ideal - I'm just doing what comes naturally. And it's not that I'm super stoic, either - my response to a threat or beating is to tremble, squirm, and flinch. Tammyjo's suggestion of responding verbally might be a good compromise - saying "oh yes" or "more please" seems less absurd than faking a groan or a scream. Nonetheless, it would be an intentional dramatic performance rather than an authentic response, and I question how many tops would really want that. MisPandora, I also usually bring it up in negotiation too, so if silence is a dealbreaker we know that ahead of time. Didn't feel the need to discuss it this time, since she had seen me bottom to another top, but perhaps she was assuming my silence was a result of effort. Take care, Fiddlegirl PS Of course, I'm going to discuss this with this woman before we play again - I'm just on this thread out of curiousity as to how other tops/dominants feel about it.
