ORIGINAL: porcelaine Greetings lally, On the flip side I don't hear non kink types spinning this stuff. Sometimes people become so enthralled with the labels and emulating them they forget they're human underneath. The whole subject matter is over intellectualized and mind fucked to the stratosphere. And this is by the supposed practitioners. No wonder the newcomers are confused. Namaste, ~porcelaine uhu, i agree, completely, it really is - and yet youve noticed how the same old questions come around and around and around to the point now where i personally just cant bring myself to comment on the majority of them anymore. theyre the same questions posed by new people trying to get some clarity. so why? - i mean what we do and who we are here - is it so far removed from there?. no it isnt. and yet in the pursuit of being a sub or a Dom/me people get stuck on 'how to...' and 'what if...' and 'should i....' - so why is that? in a way, in terms of finding a partner im right back where i left off. compatibility, humanity, sense of humour but in amongst that is the variable colours a Dominant reveals and my ability to recognise those colours and respond (or not) - and that ability has come from years of doing this. these offerings should have the disclaimer, From My Point of View, (which wont be everyones). some are better than others, some are quite potty - that Realm place was all fluffy fluffness and i dont think its there anymore. romantacising BDSM is for those who wish to find romance here. like alot of what is on the internet you take what you need and leave the rest, like all advice, good or bad i suppose. i think perhaps though we who have been around since the dawn of time (lol, or so it feels to me sometimes) can forget how boggling and fuddling the whole thing was to start with. the irony is that not until youve been at this for a while do you realise that in terms of finding someone here its no different to finding a vanilla - except - for those colours. maybe the best way to learn about those colours is to go through the full spectrum until you finally learn what it is that speaks Dom/me or sub to you - that is a highly individual valuation anyway and a vital journey in many ways. we've discussed that journey between us and both know the value that journey has been to us and for lots of other people too. whats the option though, i mean, whats the point really of a place like this. apart from us lot chatting amongst ourselves. i believe here is one of the main port of calls for people starting out. theres lots of advice given here, some good, some not so much. the way i see it, the sort of advice that kicked off this thread is just another way for an opinion to get aired, viewed and discussed. its all good in the end, if it results in some constructive discussion. which it has. so i say, rock on [:D]
