ORIGINAL: laurell3 I do believe that people can be in a dynamic for just service. It may be sexual to them in their minds, yes, but it doesn't necessarily mean that both are engaging in sex. I would never personally do it, but there definitely are people that do enter service dynamics with same sex partners and no sex. I have a femsub playpartner who is service oriented, and we're not involved sexually or romantically. She and I started playing (with my Master's approval and occasional participation) about 7 months ago, and we originally met oh, 5 years ago or so. We also enjoy going out for coffee, walking, visiting museums, and hanging out with mutual friends. I don't consider her to be just "filling the gap," but if I started dating someone who did not want me to engage in any outside play, we would back off to just friends again. If they did want to play with both of us, or were ok with me continuing to play with her, then that would be ideal. They would need to meet her husband before playing with us regularly. She's willing to trust my judgement if it's only once or twice, and I'm directly involved in the scene. I'm not looking for a new relationship right now, but once I do, I generally prefer to play at least once before making a commitment. I don't feel I can judge chemistry without that. I'm not sure if I'll go into that much detail on my profile once I re-activate it, more for the opposite reason. I'm a little concerned that they'll go "ooh, two-fer special on girlz! *pant* *drool*" and their reading comprehension for the rest of the profile would be affected. quote:
ORIGINAL: DesFIP Are you looking for a poly situation or a monogamous one? If poly, then I imagine most people would think worse of you for hiding him. What are you planning to do if you do meet a female? Kick him to the curb and pretend you never played with him? When I was in the relationship with my Master and interacting with my playpartner, I didn't think of our relationship as poly, more "monogamous with room for play," since we weren't romantically or sexually involved. Maybe that's just semantics, though. If he finds a woman who isn't comfortable with him continuing to interact with this male submissive, then I wouldn't think poorly of him for abiding by her boundaries and ceasing involvement with the submissive, as long as he was up-front about it being a possibility/probability. I agree that hiding it would be dishonest, though. Flogger, I don't think you need to mention your male service sub/playpartner in your profile, and I agree that doing S/M or bondage or allowing him to serve you in non-sexual ways doesn't make you bisexual. However, you do need to mention him within the first 2-3 e-mails, especially if you plan to continue having him do things for you. Most of the women who have posted have said they would be fine with that situation, so I don't understand why you would feel the need to hide it in the first place.
