ORIGINAL: rulemylife A submissive is there to serve. It requires no work on the part of the dominant. And I provide for myself very well. My complaint is all the so-called dommes who expect me to provide for them. Switch sometime, then report back. ANY relationship requires a fair amount of work on the part of all involved, and at the heart of all of this, these ARE relationships, whether their romantic based or otherwise. How long do you remain friends with someone who puts no effort into your friendship and constantly takes? Not very long. For a more BDSM based example - learning safety and how to use equipment like floggers, single tails, coming up with scenes - requires a lot of time and effort on a Dominant's part. I've spent countless dollars and years learning what it is that I do. To assert that there is NO WORK on the part of the Dominant to make a relationship work is simply ridiculous and shows a deep lack of understanding of relationships in general, let alone BDSM based ones. As has been said - it's not about being able to support a domme financially - it's about taking responsibility for your own life and security, and bringing that as part of the whole package to the RELATIONSHIP, because once again - this is a RELATIONSHIP. Here's a quirk - because of our chosen career paths, I make a significant amount more than my husband does, so I pay more of the household bills. I don't have a problem with this, because he loves his job, is very good at it, and works very hard. It supports him comfortably. It's part of who he is - and that's why it fine with me. If, however, he came to me tomorrow and said he wasn't going to work anymore but was going to stay home and "keep house" - well, we'd have a serious problem that would end with either him going back to work or getting kicked to the curb.
