Dear sweetNsanity, Ladies and Gentlemen; I think "collectors" are gender neutral. I have seen men and women who are dominant who just collect and gather and control submissives/slaves and really don't go anywhere with them. Sometimes, the collecting is due to popularity, being known and want to be seen with them. Sometimes the collector feels they won't be accepted by the community/lifestyle unless they have at least two or more slaves to claim, even if they may be long distance and scattered about. Those who don't disclose their marriage, engagement and or girlfriend/boyfriend status to those in contact; should be dismissed immediately regardless of the circumstances. It isn't fair to string people along. That said, being in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC; we do host many diplomats, judges, politicals, military, government individuals, who really cannot afford being exposed. Other than New York, Washington, DC share with NY a high charged and high profile location. So, here-- the job is a great concern so a good many are discreet and only stay private and away from gatherings, such as Master-slave conferences, Mid-Atlantic Leather events, etc. So, I believe tolerance for such individuals to be careful not to be seen is understood. I personally disclose my current situation, as being a care giver. It is a fact and an obligation. Although it is not a 'marriage,' I have my hands full. People my age are also becoming care givers as well, so they share the same situations of being in that space between duty to blood and fully enjoying the lifestyle with the limits imposed. Respectfully submitted, Lady Hugs
