ORIGINAL: afkarr I'll let you in on a little helpful tidbit, SN- the "lifestyle" crowd tends to view those of us in the kinky sex crowd, i.e. "bedroom" Doms and subs- as not quite as "real" as them, we just "players" and the ever so popular "fakes". It's just the way it is. The only thing that really matters is whether your relationship dynamics are working for you and your partner. If the opinions of others don't directly impact you, ignore them. Hello afkarr, I don't know that to be true a bit. I know at least 4 people, regular posters, who do in fact talk about themselves as more "kinky" than "life style". I have not seen the lifestyle folks call others fake who are somewhere else on the continuum. I have, however, seen them call people who make ten profiles fake or guys who pretend to be women fakes or someone who says they want the whole 24 / 7 locked in a cage thing ... well really they just say "get out into the real world and out of the fantasy one". What I've often noticed is the people who are M-types who don't actually know how to pay attention to the s-types or vice versa in a way that makes sense for the self identified roles. I do see people being pretty dang blatant about honesty, communication, clarity. I see that more as a "to thine ownself be true" admonishment than anything else.
