If I knew a guy who wanted no strings sex with no talking afterwards, then I would recommend he hire a pro. That is not what most of these guys are asking for. They don't need to be told to see a pro. I'm pretty sure they are aware of that option.


Honestly, I think that *is* what many are asking for.  Not all by any means, but many.  When I hear in someone's post that he wants to make a personal connection, get to know the person he submits to, and that he treats femdoms like human beings when he talks to them, of course I'll suggest he meet people at a Munch.  Unfortunately there are also a lot of posts from guys that make it very clear that a domme is a thing for him to use to get off, not a human being he can get to know and talk to.  He does not want to invite a domme into his real life.  He would never consider just hanging out with her and laughing over nothing in particular, spending time doing vanilla stuff they both love, or being friends with a domme. They're not real people, after all.  They're dommes!  Dommes are different, you can't treat them like human beings or anything.   You certainly can't introduce them to your friends or family.  She has to stay dressed in a latex catsuit in her dungeon and he visits only when he's horny. 

Yeah, this guy needs to see a pro; that's clearly what he wants, only he might not want to pay money for it.  But tough titty, he's not getting any otherwise.  I don't know any dominant women who enjoy catering to men who don't give a shit who they are, what they want or how they feel, at least not outside a fetish context. 



I completely agree here - but I think there's another element factoring into the disconnect. 

The problem is that what many submissive men idealize/want is a caricature of female dominance because that is simply all he knows   There are absolutely NO portrayals of sexually/emotionally healthy dominant/sadistic women or realistic dominant women in any kind of porn that caters to the male market.  While a man might have relatively innocent fantasies of being "dominated" in his youth, as soon as he gets his hands on porn and starts reinforcing those fantasies, his ideals of what a dominant woman wants are shaped around this. The femdom that is portrayed in most (all?) male-created porn/adult fantasy has little or nothing to do with what femdoms are like in real life.

What a lot of sub men seek is a woman who DOES dominate indiscriminately, who does want him just because he's been snared or lured into her trap, and does act totally mercilessly and outwardly sexual in her dominance from the word go.  This woman has no interest in dating or getting to know him, she just has an insatiable desire to make him into her slave.  This is what he goes out looking for - and it simply does not exist.  He may go to a munch or go online and post personals, but when a woman doesn't just see him and come after him with a fury (almost instantly) he gets angry. 

When I hear of a man who wants to meet a femdom for a relationship, I recommend that in addition to whatever else he is doing (personals, munches), he should continue to date vanilla - and do so aggressively.  I think sitting in a cave for years waiting for Ms. Femdom Right just reinforces those unrealistic femdom fantasies and allows his dating skills (and interpersonal relationship skills, and "woman skills," and kissing skills, and laughter skills, and let's-just-take-a-walk and hang out skills) to get rusty.    Since a femdom is, after all, a woman, a man needs to be sharp in his skills to talk to and relate to women as people first.

I agree up to a point. I think a man should meet women from vanilla settings, and that he should date. But he should only date vanilla long enough to find out if a woman is compatible with him. There are more vanilla women out there who are potential Mistresses than a lot of folks would think. If a woman seems to have zero dominatrix in her, look elsewhere. For your sake and hers, do not lead her on and deceive her. Otherwise a man will fall into the trap of lying and cheating that so many do.
Make no mistake, a man is going to get what he needs...either at home or elsewhere. If the girl at home doesn't do it for him, if she bores him, the guy will seek out pros and strippers and other playmates.

it's also worth mentioning that we're not in the world of kink from twenty years ago, or even ten years ago. The situation has evolved. For those of us in the United States, finding other people interested in kink is literally at our fingertips. Finding a munch group isn't nearly as difficult as it has been in the past. (Truthfully, when people show up and say they can't manage this, it's the epitome of laziness.)


Or the epitome of Fear ...

You are right, it is not the world I grew up in ... but fear exists nonetheless ... early on ... men new to the lifestyle often feel fear ... especially when they are legitimately interested in it. The prevalence of information ... might NOT negate ... social mores and values ingrained in one's head ... at least until one becomes comfortable being an independent thinker.

Going to a pro is great if you want a momentary thrill, but not a relationship/connection.


Indeed correct ... as I mentioned in point five of my original post ... it DOES become hollow ... Then a man makes his own decision about what he wants in life.

I think "that is what most men are asking for" ... too!

At least from a lot of posts I see here ... and/or their profiles.

And I know men do cruise the site for kicks ... too ... as "one of the guys"! Another way of saying it is as an old friend of mine used to say ... "frat boys".

For them a Pro is fine .. perfect .. actually ...

Yes, there are men here who are sincere about getting to know Dominant Women ... and

THIS IS A COMPLIMENT ...

LP, LNT, LH and all the Ladies here ... You are NOT SHY about pointing them in the right direction. Some of You ... no doubt ... even give real men advice thru CMail ...

So to answer the OP ... No ... I don't think You use it too quickly ... usually ...

But I will also add ... when one is sincere ... IT CAN BE DIFFICULT INITIALLY, TO BREAK INTO THE BOARDS ... WITHOUT SOME ENCOURGING WORDS BY A DOMME ... OR TWO.

In my own case ... I know of three or four in particular ... and You know who You are! Thank You!

This is another dimension ... that I agree with ...

You are right on the money ... as a man ... I agree, wholeheartedly!

There are so many .... false fantasies ... a man needs to interact with women ... to understand a Dominant Woman ... is a Woman first ... and is best enticed ... as a Woman!

The kink, that comes after, might just be ... a "Different Loving" ...

Truthfully ... it is no different than vanilla ... it is just the form of "love making".


Oh, I would add ... who has the final decision in the relationship ... but ... as I have observed in successful vanilla couples ... this is vanilla, too!

I've really enjoyed your posts on the matter, seekingOwnertoo.  Though I do have a follow up question on one part.

Are we really suggesting that people are afraid to look things up on Google?

I guess I understand the fear thing, but from a different standpoint. I would be afraid to go to a Pro. I don't know that Lady from Adam...well, maybe from Adam. I would feel much more comfortable going to a Munch. There is so much more latitude and an easier attitude. You are not pressured for time, you are not alone, there is just so many more advantages.
I have a hard time getting my mind around the "do-me fetish sub". But that is just me.
I agree kind of about the protrayal of dominant women in the porn area. I think that maybe because the people doing the portrayals don't have a clue. I find dominant women everywhere! I see them in the store, at church, at Starbucks...They are not dressed in black leather carrying a whip, but then you would not expect them to be; or at least I wouldn't. That is why I guess I still have a hard time with the Pro thing. That just would never work for me. I am glad that it does work for others though...

Lady Pact,

Thank You for asking me to explain this further ... so i will share my thoughts...

I use Google, professionally, and know it has power. Then again, I am in the Information Business ... so I am always looking for competitive edge.

Truthfully though, when men are new to this lifestyle, some can be, very afraid. Fear is an emotion that exists; for a lot of reasons.

Yet when You say Google ... to me it means ... It is easy to read the written word ... but the written word doesn't mean alot ... until there is life experience to support those words.

That said ...

Although I am reticent to post this, personally, I do not enjoy attending private, or public events.

So generally I don't go, unless it is … to be with a specific Lady.

That is another aspect I feel You might be overlooking.

This is beyond the fears of: “what if my employer discovers”, “what if my image is ruined” etc, etc … it can be:

Just walking into a strange environment … and NOT KNOWING (or do I really mean not BEING with) anyone?

That can be very .. discouraging!

Of course, You .. and LH, ... wave the social banner … and that is okay … You are both comfortable and have friends in the environment. This is good.

But don’t automatically assume, sincere, submissive men, are going to walk into a group, unescorted, not knowing anyone … by Googling!

Why, they might just expect all of the “Dom Males” to be Domiguy! ROFL

I'll make no apologies for Domi.  LOL.

Though I will admit, you can lay odds that if I found a reason to be in Chicago, I'd want to say hello to him, Jeffff, Malkinius, and a few others who have been known to be on these forums.  I've never met any of them face to face, but I'd certainly want to if I got the chance.

I've actually moved twice since becoming active in BDSM.  Both times, I moved to places that I've never lived before and started over.  I mention this only to establish that it's not a case that I've been in the same established community, such as LadyH.  I don't want the situation to be misleading. 

While we obviously have different perspectives on this, I can promise you that some men do use the idea of hitting their first munch or event.  A couple of them have even shown up on these boards (and others) because they have had positive experiences in doing so.

Chuckles ...

Was just in Chicago, myself .... ... and it is enjoyable ... You would have fun!

That said, yes, there are guys into the social ... and some who are not ...

The thing I think is ... there is no real one size fits all ...

Wishing You well ... and thanks for the thread ...

It has been a while since I said what I was thinking here ... and I appreciate Your insight and views, too!

Guess I feel for new sub men, trying to break in, because it can be difficult ... and for them ... the first Munch or Event ... can be harder to go to ... than the first high school dance!

Enjoy!
