ORIGINAL: Ishtarr Yes, it's obviously all about control, all about your control that is. Unless there's more to go on here than this thread I don't follow that line of reasoning. ... it wouldn't exactly be accurate to suggest my relationship or my dynamic with her is "all about hugs & kisses". I wasn't talking about a dynamic but about a specific kink-act Jeff. Oldhippie mentioned that the reason he wants to kept bare chested is about control, which from what he describes I agree with, but it's about his control, not the doms. That doesn't say anything about the type of dynamic he might want or end up in, it's not even something bad, but it's clearly something he wants to control in his future relationship, or rather, remain in control off. Thus, it's advisable for him to realize that and present it honestly when he is looking for a partner in a way that other people will understand what he is ACTUALLY looking for. If he where to go and say: "I'm looking for a partner who will control what I wear" he will most likely not find what he's looking for, and instead get people like me who, when they have a sub, actually like to dress them to their own tastes. If he on the other hand goes out and states: "I have a fetish for being bare chested and I'm looking for a partner who will let me indulge in that fetish and enjoy it with me" he may actually find what he's looking for. Like I mentioned in the last line of my previous post: there isn't anything at all wrong with the desire he's having, but it's important that he realizes what that desire exactly is in order to efficiently communicate it to others. When he indicated that a lot of the act is about control, I thought it would be helpful for him to reflect for a moment on whose control he was actually talking about. I'm with you in that I absolutely don't believe in the "I live to serve" crowed... never have... as such, I don't really see it as a bad thing to point out that sometimes when somebody has a fetish that relates to control issues, it's not necessarily the dominant partner who they wish to have the control. There is nothing wrong with looking for a dominant who will, on some level, cater to a submissive's fetishes because they've got the same ones, in fact, it's probably a necessity to have a good D/s relationship to have that sort of compatibility. However, one can only find that type of compatibility if one is clear on what ones personal desires actually are... and if they are clearly and efficiently communicated.
