ORIGINAL: slavejessi Hi, I am new to Collarme. I have been involved in BDSM on and off for about 3 years now. I am considering doing a live in for a brief amount of time with a Dom. I have never really done live ins before so I am asking other Doms what I should expect. Tips, and suggestions are all welcomed! Sorry if that wasn't enough info, brief live in just means a short time. And I know him somewhat well, I did not meet him on here, i met him offline. Ok, so you know the guy "kinda" well. You never really know someone until you live with them, I've found. Anyway, since you say "brief," it sounds like there will be no relationship other than the BDSM one. Are you friends as well? Are you attracted to this man, and he you? Have you both considered what happens if feelings develop for each other? Or worse, one develops feelings and the other doesn't? You say you have been involved in BDSM before, so live in is basically the same thing, only 24/7. Do you have an outside job or go to school? Have you discussed how that fits in with your "brief live in?" Have the two of you discussed what you each are expecting out of this? As for the concept that you are a "slave" and a slave simply obeys, that is true for some, not as true for others. You and he have to make your own way about this. Do you have a list of limits you have discussed? You know, the "I'm interested in this, but scared," "Don't try this on me if you want to live to see another day.." those kinds of things? Best tip you can get was already given. Talk to HIM and find out what HE expects. If it isn't what you expect, negotiate. If you can't negotiate, then pass on the whole idea. If you get there and it sucks, know you are free to leave whenever you want. If you get there and it's great, discuss extending your stay, or making the relationship more than just temporary. Think of every question you can possibly have about this, and then sit down and ask him. Work from there. And good luck!
