blackpearl81 -> Such a thing as too much attention? (5/20/2010 2:42:51 PM)
Disclaimer: I'm not really sure how to start this out, so please bare with me. I first realized I had sub tendencies in my early 20's. That prompted me to explore myself. One thing that I've noticed, is that I have a (bad?) habit of showing too much attention. The big difference was that this was in vanilla relationships, and some people in my past felt that they were being smothered (clean thoughts, you dirty pervs!). I understand that everyone isn't the same, and what may work for one couple, may not work for another. So, I guess my question is this: Does anyone here think that the same thing is possible, given the roles of the D/s (respectively)? I mean, depending on how a particular couples relationship is defined, isn't the submissive supposed to show attention for their Dominant?

Or, put differently, one way Carol (my slave) is attentive to me is by leaving me alone when I need a bit of space. By the way, I like to think of myself as very attentive to her also. And one way that manifests is by NOT hugging her or commanding her to blow me or whatever when she's deep in the throes of a piece of art.

It is very easy to give me too much attention. I am not easy to be in a relationship with because of this. I need more 'alone time' than anyone else I know.

Don't either of you be too sure about that. LOL.

This week has just been an emotional roller coaster because of something very similar to this. The only real difference is that it wasn't a dynamic.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Such a thing as too much attention? (5/20/2010 3:20:17 PM)
Short answer: yes. I need my alone time pretty much as much as my friends here! I also need more attention than most, but it is more the subtle anticipatory service kind of thing. Smothering is a NO.

I'm with some of the others here. I value my alone time. I can be very and extremely introverted and sometimes even one extra person in my space...even in the same living space as me is enough to not allow me to recharge. I don't do well in large group settings and tend to psychologically detach when there is too much social stimulation. I also tend to remain somewhat attached even at the most isolated of times to certain people, but I still don't want them in my space at that time. Part of service is making a suitable environment for relaxation to occur. Sometimes part of that means setting her up to her satisfaction and then just letting her be while you go out and do other things for a bit. Just consider it time for the heart to grow fonder...if that's even possible. lovingpet

I am sitting here with a similar problem. There is a sub that seems to have attached himself to Me forcefully. Half of me is saying scam artist and the other half is saying overly passionate/ and worse of all he is dropping himself in town this weekend. Feeling tremendously uncomfortable. IF any one lives in LONDON. England and has a moment to help verify some information I would appreciate it (please send me a note off this thread). MstrPBK St. Paul, MN USA

MstrPBK, of course You know that You are under no obligation to allow this person to make you feel this way, nor yet to allow them into Your home. What his motives may be are neither here nor there, if he is causing you such distress. If You do not wish his presence or feel the slightest bit uncomfortable or uncertain, send him packing, period. Make this person understand in no uncertain terms that his behaviour is unacceptable to You, and if he will not listen or obey, if he will not remove himself and leave You in peace, call the police and have him removed by force.

Not so long as you promise we can ignore each other once the PMCT (Post Molestication Cuddle Time) is over! :D Serious answer: ask the D in question-there is no way we can tell you how much attention she wants/does not want. She might be less of a grumpybum than me, in which case she might want more attention than I personally would. But then she might be more of a grumpybum than me-in which case don't call her, she'll call you...

I would kill LaT, Jeffff and LadyPact to insure I get my alone time. we fishermen are a solemn and stoic lot. We leave those that love us the most behind to find the peace that only the water avails to us. Then we bang hookers. Lots of hookers.

Jeffff, The difference is that LaTigresse's "alone time" is her choice, while your "alone time" is everybody else's choice. After all, aardvarks aren't the best company. [:D]
