ORIGINAL: kickable Thanks to all for expressing your views. I'm overwhelmed by the responses. I am not looking for a bi or gay experience, forced or otherwise. I do believe an experienced is forced if a sub is coerced, pressuried bullied etc to an experience the sub would not seek on his/her own. To say it's not forced, or you're not forcing someone, is to not understand the meaning of the word forced, in my opinion. Well first of all thank you so much for telling me that obviously the past 10 or 12 years I've done it all wrong and I don't understand it... Now I understand the difference between demanding something from somebody or forcing somebody, but since I believe in consensual relationships, I'm aware that I can't force anybody unless I cross the line to non-consensual. quote:
I'm apparently in the minority, wanting to see a Dominatrix who proudly says, "Yea, I forced him. He knew what he was getting into and he stayed. He's that devoted to me." You might not be, only most of us don't bother with the "forced" rubbish guys want to hear, I'd say "He knew what he was getting into and he stayed, being with me was more important than doing something he didn't like, it's devotion and not force!" I'd be proud of somebody being devoted but I couldn't ever be proud of doing something non-consensual. This whole "forced" issue is something ONLY men come up with, and in my eyes a lot of it comes out of fantasy land, watching BDSM porn, a bit like being abducted by a bunch of hot dommes and kept as their sex toy. I've been thinking about it on occasion (not abducting somebody to use him as a sex toy but the mindset behind it) and it always seems to boil down to "Oh I was forced, I usually wouldn't ever do <insert activity>, she MADE me do it!" The equivalent of a woman who will say "Oh he forced me to put up with his behaviour..." Unless he used brutal violence or threats and made it impossible for her to leave, he didn't, she could always get a divorce. The concept you use "forced" in is more than a bit wonky, because then every relationship, even vanilla relationships would be "forced" - you know the woman/man who "forces" her/his partner to be faithful or s/he'd leave him - forced... Doing the work you get paid for or you'd be laid off - forced, paying rent or mortgage or you get evicted - forced, paying for things you buy or they call the police - forced... quote:
Heck, even in a spanking, a Domme forced the sub to accept pain. Oh hell yeah, if I'm playing with somebody and I say "I want to spank you now" - I'm really forcing that person to accept pain? Go to a BDSM event and take a woman with you who'll say loudly "And who is next for a spanking/worshiping my feet/whipping/bondage..." And you see a long line of subs cuing up - obviously all "forced"! quote:
Because someone gives in doesn't mean they're not being forced. I'm frankly surprised more Female Dominants aren't sensitive to this point of view. We're quite sensitive to the fact that you're getting off on the idea of being "forced" instead of owning up and saying "The right woman could make me do this because being with her would be more important to me than one of my hard limits" - but that would force you to admit that you PREFERRED to be with the woman, and that seems what guys have a hard time to admitting. quote:
I believe part of the enjoyment for Dommes is to expand the boundaries of a sub, to tease, tempt, coerce, pressure, demand (force) a sub to try new things, especially things the sub resists. It's always great if a man tells a woman what she wants and how she really feels. As LP has said before, it has nothing to do with expanding your boundaries, it's for *our* kicks and pleasure, we're usually not doing this because we don't enjoy the action and only do it to watch your "growth", we're doing it because it's something we enjoy and you (general you) go along with it or you don't - if you don't you might not be in service anymore, that's the equivalent of not paying the landlord - you might lose the home... quote:
I think some are afraid of being labeled as participating in non-consenual activities if they own up to "forcing" behavior on a sub. I'd make the point that it can be forced and also be consensual. Nope, just not interested in giving cheap excuses or pandering to "Oh it wasn't my fault, she made me do it!" I like interacting with adults, people who don't need excuses for the activities they participate in, I don't want to pander to some porn fantasies of being "forced". Terribly selfish of me, but you know what? So far it helped me to only engage in BDSM with people who are able to be responsible adults and who don't need a scapegoat who "forced them in a consensual non-consensual way".
