I agree that your post is beautifully written, and I am glad to hear that Raquel wrote back to you.
This is where you would have lost Me...

...my earliest erotic memory...<snipped>


There is too much focus on the eroticism (and I am seeing the same running through your other posts) and the heavy description of fetish wear. Remember, you are the one who used the word "erotic" and then followed through, all the way, with that idea.
I would be concerned that this "submission" is completely driven by a hard cock. So here is an honest question for you.
Would you love Me and "submit" to Me just the same while you are doing the dishes and I am sitting on the couch in a bathrobe with a fresh cup of tea (prepared and served by yourself) while My hair is wrapped in a towel because I just got out of the shower?  No make-up, of course. Or do you need your Lady to be in the thigh high boots with stiletto heels, sitting in the chair with you naked and kneeling?
 
quote:

Perhaps the one image that summarizes it is: a beautiful, strong, fit woman wearing thigh-high boots with long stilletto heels, a leather corset, gloves, a leather Master's cap.

She is sitting on a wooden chair with a lot of room at her feet, the boots out front.

I am naked and kneeling, my arms bound behind my back.

A collar is around my throat. I feel the chain, the tug of her hand.

She holds a riding crop in the other.

I am bowing, scraping, placing my lips against her boot, licking and kissing, groveling at her feet, while she whips my upturned ass.

 
If this is why you think you might be submissive, then, "Houston, we have a problem."

**Edited to add:  There is nothing wrong with what you write or how you feel, but I would be concerned that this is what submission is about, rather than the whole package.  As I said, I am seeing this focus in your other posts as well.  There is much more involved.


ok i have a question.  just for kicks whats wrong with some dude being obssessed with fantasy?  

It seems to me the more a sub wants something the easier they should be to control?  or arent they?

my point is so what if its all about fantasy as long as you can use it to transform him to you? or doesnt it work that way

To be surprised, as I was shocked by the responses that I got.

It seems like any admission of erotic interest means that you are ONLY interested in eroticism.

That's not true.

I wouldn't think that if a Woman described a wonderful erotic moment. "Boy, what's her problem. Is the only thing that she thinks of is sex? Sheesh." I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Why is appropriate to jump to that conclusion the other way around?

At the risk of adding absolutely nothing to this discussion, i will try to explain the way it is for myself and most sub males. i'm sexually driven. i know it would be more popular to simply say that i crave to be with a dominant woman because i recognize Her superiority, and that it is simply my position to serve Her in whatever way she wishes, e.g. doing the dishes, vacuuming, etc. But if there is no sexual dominance or play involved then it just doesn't work for me. i suspect that is true for most male subs. we can pretend otherwise, but that's just how we are wired. i need a Lady who enjoys using me for Her pleasure and entertainment in a sexual way. This isn't as deep or insightful or poetically written as a lot of the other posts. It's just the way it is.

I know where you are coming from - but I don't agree.

I do agree that men have a different erotic drive than woman. Not more, or less - but different. For a lot of men the drive - for both vanilla or D/s - is very strong. Sometimes it feels like that is the only thing.

Women can, and do, have a very strong erotic drive. But there does seem to be a difference. For men the erotic part can be all upfront, and consuming, while Women (or women) enjoy eroticism, but have other goals and interests upfront. There passion, their sexuality, is not all consuming.

But I have found that for men - vanilla and D/s - after a while the erotic aspect does not become all consuming. Then the desire for a good, satisfying relationship kicks in. Other things become more important - like sharing a life with someone to who you are attracted.

I don't think with my cock always. As a matter of fact, now it is secondary to having the best life possible.

The best life possible is not one filled with non-stop erotic activity. Instead, it is a rewarding and fulfulling one, especially when shared with Another, that includes sexuality as its spice and passion - but NOT the be all and end all.

Don't lump all men into your analogy. It does not apply to me.

Hey, maybe you really mean what you say. But I doubt it. I think you are full of shit and you are trying to scam the Doms on here into thinking that you are truly a sensitive guy who is looking for a "real relationship", so that you can hook up with one who will satisfy your kink. You write well and talk a good game. So good luck to you. I think I speak for most guys, although they aren't likely to admit on this line that we're sexually driven. The truth is that's what brings us here, no matter how we spin it.

First of all, we are already more than aware that most males are very sexually driven.  There is nothing wrong with that.  I appreciate your honesty, teazchaz, but there is no reason to tell someone they are full of shit.  There is nothing wrong with being a bottom.  The difficulty most boys have is determining where they are really coming from, and how to present that honestly, to themselves, and to the Dominas they are approaching.  You may already be there, and don't really care.  You know what you want and you will be honest in your quest to get it.

In the meantime, I am working on a response to the questions and comments from RealOne and subapplicant.  Then we can either put this to bed, or take the debate into a constructive phase. 
After all, the title of this thread is "Why I am a submissive", so I think it is important to address.

I hate sex.
I'm overweight, and I'm short, and even if I did fit into leather outfits, I find them uncomfortable.
I'm kick-ass beautiful in Mickey Mouse pajamas with a baseball cap on backwards and just enough make-up to look like I should have washed it off several hours earlier.
I laugh a lot and crack jokes a lot and hastle my boy while he's trying to cook a meal by playing with the potatoes he's peeling and licking off the beaters.
Life is busy and hectic and my boy works hard carrying boxes for me at auctions and listening to teenagers play their music too loud and hearing me bitch about the phone company.
When we cuddle up and watch TV, we both generally fall asleep with no whippings or canings or spankings or sex, because we're tired from living real life. But at least we fall asleep cuddled up together.
Nothing makes my day like seeing him win me a stuffed animal from the claw machine at the grocery store.
About once every 4 months we actually get time alone. The last thing I want to spend that time consumed with is 4 hours in the bathroom with fishnet stockings, corsets, curling irons, make-up, and zipping up boots.
When I soak in the tub, he sits on the floor and we talk about Ebay.
I'm happy.
He's happy.
And someday, we'll find more subs out there who would feel privileged to be a part of that damn exciting erotic sexy kinky fantasy life we have.

Wow teazchaz.

You think you know me. You think I'm a liar.

Mmmm. Okay.

Hard words for someone who hardly knows me at all. Where did the anger come from?

I will do what I always do - give you the benefit of the doubt that what you write is true and comes from the heart.

I wish you would give me the same courtesy.

It seems to me the more a sub wants something the easier they should be to control?  or arent they?

my point is so what if its all about fantasy as long as you can use it to transform him to you? or doesnt it work that way



Alright...let's begin here.
RealOne...there is nothing wrong with it.  As long as the boy knows he is obsessed with fantasy. This does not make him a submissive. It makes him a fetishist, and he is looking for someone who will satisfy that fetish.  He is not looking for a relationship with a real Woman who is also a Dominant.  I will liken it to the boys who can't feel submissive unless they are cross dressing.  The clothes come off, and the submission is gone. 

Sometimes if the sub really wants something it might be helpful in the control areas.  But most of the time, at least for Me, the desires should be understood, on both sides.  They shouldn't be a "I do this for you and then you do this for me".   If the only reason a boy is serving, or attracted to a Domina is because she is constantly in the mode of "Bitch Domme", that can get tiring really fast.  We are human and get tired, get cranky and don't always run around with pefect hair, make-up, jewelry, 6 inch heels and a corset.  We get sick, we bleed, we have families, we get hungry, we have allergies, we have work and deadlines to meet.  We volunteer in our communities (vanilla and lifestyle), we read, we watch tv, we plant flowers and some of us are even grandmas!  Wow!   
I do not have the energy or the inclination to depend on some boy's fantasy to make him into what I want.  I can do it.  For a time.  It won't last, if he is so focused on the fantasy of it all that he cannot make the transition from every day life to the moments when these fantasies can come to life.  And while I am trying to make him what I want, I also have to change who I am, to be who he wants.  Not gonna happen!
So the answer, for Me, is "No...it doesn't work that way".  There has to be some sort of realistic relationship that encompasses more than the stereotype of Dominatrix.  Else the boy is going to be spending his days feeling like he is getting cheated because he thought he was with a Woman who was a Dominantrix.  And, to this boy, that means the fet wear, the perfect make-up and the constant planning of ways to humiliate him or meet his particular fantasies. It does not mean that there cannot be, (in fact, there should be) a constant flow of D/s or M/s energy.  I am always Dominant. Dominant does not mean being in "Bitch Dom" mode 24/7.  It means having the authority and respect, the automatic response of the boy to your power (which was given).  And that should be given without the constant need of the Lady sitting with thigh high boots and a crop.  I don't want a boy who needs to be under constant threat in order to be submissive.

*****************************************************

To subapplicant:  I am sorry to hear that you were shocked at some of the replies.  I also notice you did not reply to some very important questions.  This is going to be long folks...I will be quoting from the OP's various threads...his comments as well as some of the responses to try to get My point across. 
Bear in mind, all, that these are My opinions and what I have seen.

All bold emphasis in quotes are Mine:

To begin with a quote from the original text by this OP on this thread:

quote:

As I began to explore my sexuality I (like all young boys) read Playboy and Penthouse. Occasionally you would stumble across an image of tall, statuesque, strong woman dressed in leather boots and corset, carrying a whip and an angry sneer.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.  Except that you seem to have not moved past the exploration of your sexuality, and into the exploration of your personality. How does this apply to your life, subapplicant?  Throughout, all I read from you, it is about your sexuality.  You speak of being a natural submissive, but I see submission in your sexuality.  Not in your everyday life.  If you are not being treated in a humiliating fashion, if you are not under the gun, so to speak, you seem to have little to say or share.

quote:

The OP imparts the idea that he has a desire to be dominated in a certain way, and it is not about pleasing the Domina, but about being reduced to a quivering mass of jelly. It is the assumption that these are the ways and means that she is pleased. 


This is a quote from Me, on this thread.  The operative phrase is "it is the assumption that these are the ways and means"...Many Ladies I know, including Myself, are not necessarily pleased or thrilled with the constant need to correct (in public or private) and punish.  Where is the example of you getting up and preparing Me a lovely breakfast tray, picking a rose from the garden to put in a bud vase, adding a linen napkin and My newspaper, and then sitting on the edge of the bed being happy that you can do this special service for Me?  I, in turn, would smile as I sleepily awaken.  I appreciate that I have a boy who will be this thoughtful  Not that I have a boy who will melt and lick My boots (in public) because he didn't keep the bar area clean.

quote:

While we were chatting I noticed that she glanced down at the bar. A subtle change in her eyes sent me a signal that I felt in my stomach - a little rush of adrenaline. I looked down and noticed that i had let things slip. I immediately jumped to clean our area.

I always remember the look on her face. A little shake of the head, a subtle roll of the eyes, a flash of anger, a non-verbal message: "Boy, what the FUCK is your problem". She didn't have to talk about it. A little glance, and I felt that lesson deep in my bones.


Was it a lesson, or was it a mini scene in your mind?  Do you want to relive it?  Sounds like it.  Which means you got a thrill from it, so it was not a lesson. 

From:  Have you ever slapped a male in a vanilla public situation

quote:

If so, how did he respond? How was the experience for You?
One of my favorite memories is getting my face suddenly in a small lingerie store in Soho. My Mistress then dressed me down verbally, making me stand there, head bowed, for a few minutes while she hissed and bitched me out under her breath. Everyone in the new store knew what had happened.
I was mortified and trembling when it happened. For hours afterward I felt like I was floating, seperate from my body, my head in an empty but deeply submissive space.
Today it is one of my fondest memories.

and...
 
I've been slapped a few times when "playing", alone behind closed doors.
I was slapped a second time in public, by my Mistress in a crowded bar. Immediately me get down on the ground and lick her boots. So incredibly delicious. It was a mixed fetish/vanilla situation...
But the one i described before was pure vanilla. That makes it the most memorable...

and...

Plus - i adore knowing that i am the object of staring vanilla eyes. I don't think you are truly a slave until you are seen as one through a third party's eyes.
And - there is the added thrill that some interested guy - or strong Woman! - notices the interaction.


Really!!  You would not feel like a slave until someone else (especially a vanilla, it seems) has noticed it?  It has to be seen through some third party's eyes?  This isn't a any sort of M/s relationship, or D/s relationship.  These are public scenes that thrill you.   All about being humiliated in public.  You seem to have a strong focus on this.  I must repeat there is nothing wrong with this as long as you can find a Lady who is willing to go along with this game.  It is a game.  It is not a relationship. There has also been discussion on these boards in the past about the care needed when acting out in public. It can be done, but much of what you describe is not even discreet.

From:  Do you have different codes of behavior at different times
 
In post #5 you grabbed an opportunity to specifically describe a "rules scene" which really had nothing to do with anything that had been posted to that point...as follows:

quote:

One of my favorite memories is the time a Dominant Woman was taking control of me while we were at home alone. Like she often does when we "played" together, she made me strip naked and kneel, while she prepared herself. Only this time she shoved a typed list of "Rules for the Slave" under my nose with twenty rules of conduct. She told me to memorize them before she returned.
Of course, since i was entering subspace, my ability to concentrate was taxed. But I did try to memorize it. But she returned much quickly than normal, before any human could have memorized every rule.
Then she made me recite the rules. Of course, since I did not have time to prepare, I failed at the task. The punishment (riding crop) was quick and severe. She demanded not only that I know each rule instantly, but that I also repeat it word for word. A lot of opportunity to punish me, until the combination of mental concentration and slashing pain sent me into a space where I couldn't perform. She reduced me to a quivering mass of jelly.
Of course, the next time I had the rules FULLY memorized. And acted them out perfectly.
Perhaps that was Her ultimate goal anyway!  
 

Again, I  raise an eyebrow.  Taking control of you?  In a 24/7 relationship the control is always there.  I do not want to have to be contantly "taking control" of a boy.  I will have the control already.  
You enter sub space pretty damn fast.  I was surprised at that assertion.  You must release endorphins pretty quickly, since according to your scenario you were only stripped naked and kneeling while the Domina was leaving the room to prepare herself. But, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe you can achieve subspace that easily. 
I have to say that this read to Me as a fantasy story.  It may have really happened, and you do have a heck of a writing style, but I do see it as a writing style with a focus on all things erotic to you.  Again, this is a scene.  A good one, but a scene.

From:  How does a Dominant Woman use grooming as a method of control
quote:

<snipped>
As a personal contribution, a Dominant Woman told to keep all of my nails in perfect condition. It was up to me to go often enough for a manicure and pedicure. Nothing outrageous - just buff on the fingernails, and clear polish on the toenails. She could inspect them at any time - and if they were not up to her standards - watch out. Some nice memories of being asked to present my hands for her view in public...both hands up in a submissive posture, head a little bowed... 


I see we are in public again. 

From: Why I am a submissive
 
quote:

I am fascinated by how a Dominant Woman thinks. I enjoyed your own description of your (in part) "awakening". I want (need) to know more about what attracts a Dominant Woman, what pleases Her, how her mood is created, what interests Her erotically.


You seem to dismiss the fact that everything that interests and pleases us is not erotic in nature.  You may say, subapplicant, that you are a natural submissive, and that you seek a full time relationship, but this constant focus on the scenes and the eroticism is wearying. 
Are you in the least interested in what else makes us tick?  Or are you only interested in the part of us that wears the boots with the stilletto heels, and sneers at you while slapping your face in public? (in front of vanillas, because that is very important, else you will not be a real slave)

quote:

LoneGoddess: Which leads me to another question... two Dominas you've been enthralled with? And neither of them was the "one"? Hmm, why no love? Why no relationship such as the one you claim to seek now, then?
Was it a case of "not ready" for a relationship? Or a case of she wasn't the one who you'd give your heart to? All of these things make me wonder, because I myself had a four year experience with a submissive whom was the love of my life to date, and he would never commit to a real relationship with me. It would appear I was his perfect fantasy woman, but he couldn't bridge the erotic with the very real woman I am.
Why does the erotic focus seem to keep submissive men from committing to their Dommes on a real and lasting level?


This was a very important and honest question.  You maintain that you have experience.  You say you have been "in the thrall" of 2 Dominas for a fairly long term, even though no live-in or full time. 
I came back to this thread several times in the hope that you responded to this.  But you did not.  It was ignored.
There is nothing wrong with wanting what you want.  It is wrong for you to try to elicit specific information from Dominas who will agree and give you more examples.  I doubt that many of these Ladies who have so graciously asnwered your questions would live in fet wear with pefect hair all the time.  We have all done these things in various degrees at some point.  But what you describe is the stereotype, and that stereotype turns you on.  No doubt about it!
You are very unlikely to find that in a 24/7 relationship. 

From:  Do Dominant women recognize a submissive male
quote:

subapplicant:

I've heard it said that some Dominant Women can recognize a submissive when they meet him, even in a vanilla situation, even if the man doesn't know she is a Dominant, and even if he is acting "normally". In other words, submissive give out a signal of "whip me, beat me, fuck me" even without trying.

Jasmyn: Keep in mind, too, there's always two sides to a fence ... some will be subservient to me like I said in the hope of getting something in return..and yes in the face of a promise of a sensual trip...most men I've dealt with have readily been subjugated for my pleasure but I wouldn't necessarily class them as 'submissive' in the sense you are using the term.

MH00314: Here is where I take issue---the assumption that submission and the kink are synonymous---they aren't--(now My esteemed colleagues, don't flame Me here, I am going to present some generalizations for the sake of debate...)
There needs to be a separation made between submission and how its "exhibited"--the whip me, beat me scenario is only one and IMHO not the main one-- and to Me is not a sign of submission but only one of many ways it can be exhibited---however there are an awful lot of men in general with the "fuck me" attitude...does that make them submissive? Hardly.

 
Well, several ladies have tried to make this point in varying ways to you.  You don't seem to be getting the message. If you choose not to, and you choose to follow through with finding a dream Domina who will dominate you according to your terms, go for it.  I think you are cheating yourself out of some great opportunities for a full D/s or M/s relationship, but...*shrug*(  You just might find a match out there.  I also wonder what happened to the other two Ladies.  It seems you had some very rich experiences with them but you are no longer with them.  Could be that these were the only interactions you had with these Ladies?  It seems the likely answer since you have posed some very basic questions that were good questions, but more likely to come from a newbie with little experience in this lifestyle.  
I don't think it is the best idea to approach any Lady who fits your physical ideal and assume that what is going to please her is doing things your way.  But that is just a personal opinion, thrown in for free. I am Dominant.  All the time.  Even if I am not forcing you, with a look, to lick My boots in public.  (Which I would not do anyway, so be sure to cross Me off any list you might be generating.)

This will read "in response to "RealOne", because I began by clicking to quote his question.  These are My opinions and are in response to both RealOne and subapplicant, as well as any other interested boys. 

Too tired to edit again.  Hoping there are not too many typos.

Wow. That was a lot of work on my behalf. Very appreciated.

I don't have time to answer all of what you wrote. Not right now.

If my words gave them impression that I am shallower than I feel, then that's my fault.

I do plead guilty to being passionate about my chosen life.

I don't really feel bad. I don't feel like I have to justify my writings at all.

If the tone or the tenor seems wrong to you - well, isn't that what makes attraction so specific?

Other women have enjoyed my style of writing, and thinking. They enjoy my explanation of who and what I am. We feed into each others passions. Not just for the erotic, but also other apects of life as well.

I feel no need to justify my actions. They are who i am. Some like my approach, the play of my mind, the beat of my heart - others don't.

I don't care about all. I just care about meeting the goals and needs of one woman.

Today I have been accused (again) of being nothing but an erotic being by a Dominant Woman. And I have been accused of playing nice and "sensitive" by a submale just to impress the Dominas.

So. I can't win.

But I do. Just by accepting who I am and being comfortable in my own skin.

I may not be your cup of tea. But I am to some. And one day - I will be for what I truly desire - the Owner who I share a life with.

Goddess Dusty Gold:

An addendum.

Again, wow.

What a lot of writing on my behalf.

It feels so weird to me.

You accuse me of not responding to a thread. Well - I don't read everything. Or respond to things I do. I don't have the time. (And - you do not own me in that way).

Again - today a submale accused me of being too "sensitive" just to please the Dominant Woman. While you accuse me of only thinking with my cock.

What did I do to attract such animosity?

Is this how first-timers (this is only my 2nd week here) are treated?

Discouraging.

subapplicant, 
I am truly sorry that you feel I am accusing you.  I am trying to point out how your text may come across. How your specific focus may push some people away.
It is up to you to take it however you will.
I also did not accuse you of not responding.  That is a fact.  And I only wanted to bring this to your attention.  I know you read it.  I would hope you didn't skip past that post.  Especially since it was directed to you.  You did not respond to a very specific question from another Domina.  You ignored it.  You continue to ignore it.
What you want is what you want.  I am not impressed with the other sub who "accused" you.  If you noticed, I rebuked him for being so harsh.  He may know what he wants, and I hope he finds it.  It's not what I, and many others, are seeking.  So be it.
Neither am I, nor many others, seeking a boy who needs the stereotype of a Dominatrix.  It doesn't work in day to day life
If it is what you want, and what you need, then please continue to look for it.   

quote:

I don't care about all. I just care about meeting the goals and needs of one woman.


Good.  Now be careful about insisting what you think those goals and needs should be.  Take some time to listen to the Dominas and the kind of Women they are.  I am concerned that you will be one of those boys who comes back to these boards in a few months complaining about all the fakes who won't answer your email.  I am sure you are most sincere, and you have a definite idea of what you want.  Trust Me when I tell you that many of us are not going to respond when we are hit too fast with "My ex-Mistress did this to Me and I found it very exciting...will you do this too?"  I have had too many boys ignore My requirements and My preferences, and assume that they will be able to convince Me that I should dominate them their way.  It hasn't worked yet.
If this is what you want and need, I do believe you should not lower your own expectations.  If, on the other hand, you keep claiming this is not what it is all about, then mayhap you should begin sharing in ways that are less in this venue and more in the "loud music, dishes and dirty laundry" venue.   Show us that you are more than a pretty boy who wants to be slapped around in public. Right now, that is all I am seeing.
Correction:  You've been on the boards since April 6 (according to your posting history).  In that time you have started and participated in a few of your own threads, and to the best of My ability to check, you have participated, slightly, in one or two others. 
You have been a member of this site since last September. 
How has it been working for you so far?

Thank You for your post. I always appreciate the time you have taken - even if I don't always agree with you.
 
"You did not respond to a very specific question from another Domina.  You ignored it.  You continue to ignore it."
 
I admit - I am guilty of not reading every posts to my posts (if that makes sense). At the same token, I don't feel that I am owned by anyone - just yet.
 
Is there an etiquette to always respond?

subapplicant,
 
An Addendum.
 
quote:

What a lot of writing on my behalf.

 
I wrote to you, yes indeed.  But the purpose of these foums is also for discussion and education.  If a few other boys read this and get an idea of what is often a turn-off for many Dominas, I have served a larger purpose.
 
P.S.  
 
quote:

You accuse me of not responding to a thread. Well - I don't read everything. Or respond to things I do. I don't have the time. (And - you do not own me in that way).

 
Repeat, not an accusation.  Silly Me for making an ass out of Myself, by assuming that you would be interested enough in a post on your own discussion thread to read a response and a question from another Domina. 
I guess you didn't have time to read it, therefore you couldn't respond.  

Mea Culpa.
 
**Edited:  I was typing as you were posting.  So I did not see your response.
In reply to this:

In some instances, I would say yes.  This is your thread and you were asked a polite question regarding something specific and important.  A non-response can mean one of two things.  Either you have no answer that would not force you to think this through, or you feel it is unimportant.  Either reason does not reflect well on you. 
Some questions are rhetorical, others are ridiculous and have already been explained more than once.
Neither was the case here.
Don't type and hit send if you are not prepared to follow up.
In your case, don't claim to have experience and tout two long relationships with Dominas who are being presented as dream girls, and then not have a reasonable explanation as to why you are not with either of them. 
Regardless, you've read it now, so I hope an answer is forthcoming.

Ouch! Direct hit!
 
It hurts because its true!
 
Lesson learned. I'll try to be a little more...observant.

To reiterate what I said on another post..

http://www.collarchat.com/Hate_and_Racial_Prejudices_here_at_CollarMe/m_324482/tm.htm

Try to put a positive slant to what you read here.... yes, we can have knee jerk reactions but what I read was some constructive critisism that Dusty put a lot of time into.

It seems to me that you have the choice to read it and see if there is anything that you can learn from it which will help you in finding what you seek or you can just see it negatively and maybe lose out on an insight as to how some Dommes think.

To be surprised, as I was shocked by the responses that I got.

It seems like any admission of erotic interest means that you are ONLY interested in eroticism.

That's not true.

I wouldn't think that if a Woman described a wonderful erotic moment. "Boy, what's her problem. Is the only thing that she thinks of is sex? Sheesh." I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Why is appropriate to jump to that conclusion the other way around?


You've dicovered a divide here. You are interested in Romance, intense BDSM, and a strong erotic-emotional connection to a FEMDOM, but many FEMDOMs here only want slaves or servants, aka, men to revolve around and do stuff for them. The level of eroticism that would surround this slavely and or service varies from femdom to femdom.

Anyway, for a primer on this divide just read this thread:

http://www.collarchat.com/m_317957/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm

After reading that thread, you get an idea of why some FEMDOMs have a problem with you. Any idea that you enter into a FEMDOM relationship wanting/needing certain things for yourself strikes them as "unsubmissive" or "unslavelike." You run the risk of being tagged a "do-me sub" or some such other thing.

The essential thing to look for in a FEMDOM is if you really connect with her. If you can connect with a FEMDOM, the details have a way of working themselves out. Its very fun and rewarding to be involved with someone who enjoys and cares for you and who relates to you for who you are instead just what you do for them --- and I can tell you --- this type of FEMDOM does exist.

Good luck. Don't let the critics damper your enthusiasm, instead let RT experience guide you as to what works and what doesn't work. Remember, a submissive is an intergral part of a D/S relationship --- you are not just a robot following orders --- you are not just a person following rules --- you are not just unpaid help around the house ----- you are, in fact, 50% or more of the energy in an D/S relationship.

Sex is a handle, sex is a crowbar, sex is a buggy whip. Sex makes boys do what I want them to. Sex makes them take more than they thought they could. it makes them try harder. It makes them eager, compliant, motivated, and more submissive. And by sex I mean: no sex, the promise of sex, frustrated sexual desire, teasing and denial, promising and changing my mind, making them ask, making them beg, making them feel grateful.

I don't HAVE to use this power all the time, I don't always need or want a handle or a crowbar, but why deny that it exists? why get mad at boys who see it, too? Why work so hard to throw away this power?

I threw my stiletto heels away a while ago, but this is still true.

girl is a slave because she loves to serve, to please Others, to see the smile on Their face when she pleases Them, the touch of  Their hand, the feeling of the whip whe she has done wrong, being locked in a cage, the humilation of being punished or disciplined in front of Others.

girl has always loved to please Others ever since she was a child, the look of disappointment on Their faces sending butterflies to her stomach, the smile on Their face showing They were proud of her, the touch of dad's belt when she was a brat.

these are the reasons girl is a slave, nothing more, nothing less and she  will continue to strive to learn to be the best she can, to always be willing to learn, accepting her punishment when it is delivered, accepting any corrections given to her.
