grubuchmu -> TPE Montreal (2/1/2012 7:35:25 PM)

(Moderators, feel free to move this thread, I wasn't sure where to post)

Hi everyone,

I'm a journalism student currently working for a personal project about couples living in a TPE relation. I'm currently looking for a couple in the Montreal area. I've already contacted a few couples but so far I've had no luck finding a true TPE couple. If you know someone or have an idea where I could contact someone, please PM me.

Just to avoid confusion:
- I'm a real student and my approach to journalism is very human and professional
- I'm very neutral towards BDSM. I do not judge people based on their lifestyle, appearance, etc.
- I do not participate in BDSM activities.
- I respect people's desire for anonymity.
- The project I'm working on is a 6 minute radio documentary about TPE.

[:)]
Thanks for your time!

No offense grubuchmu,

But there are far too many students and psychology students constantly poking around BDSM. There are so many journalists coming to sites like this, and just about every week someone posts something like:

-Is your masochism tied to a lack of breast feeding?
-Were you fed spicy food as a child?
-Ever eat lead paint?

-Did something horrible happen to you in your formidable years???

^ Oops! Lol! I meant formative years!



grubuchmu -> RE: TPE Montreal (2/1/2012 8:27:03 PM)

I totally understand your point and I want people to know that this is not my first contact with the BDSM community. I just have a hard time finding people having a total power exchange/24/7 relation...and right now I'm kind of desperate.

I'm not trying to analyze anyone. Hell, I don't even want to ask questions. It's more kind of like a portrait that I want to make...a neutral portrait. I don't want to judge anyone or glorify anyone.

Anyway, I was 99% sure this would offend people.

If a moderator could delete this thread, that'd be great.

If you already have contacts in the community - which would suggest that they know you and your reputation - perhaps that would be the best place to find the person(s) you seek.  It may be that what you are looking for is not available and you may need to get "close" to your goal.  Good luck.

Thanks, I'll check it out

Having your profile hidden isn't going to make it easy for you to find contacts. Just sayin'.

What signs are you looking for for your "true" TPE couple? I am willing to bet that they don't seem like you think they should.

That's what I was thinking Hibbie. OP what do you think a "True" TPE couple is? Your answer could provide the reason why you're not finding it.



kalikshama -> RE: TPE Montreal (2/2/2012 8:33:36 AM)

Additionally, why limit yourself to Montreal? Can't you do phone interviews?



DesFIP -> RE: TPE Montreal (2/2/2012 11:01:18 AM)

So you've met people who describe themselves as TPE but you've decided they aren't true. How did you come to that decision? What are you imagining a TPE couple looks like.

Because I'll tell you what our relationship would look like to you. Vanilla. I don't wear a dog collar with spikes. My head isn't shaved. I don't walk three steps behind him. I wait for him to open doors and he carries the heavy stuff up the stairs. Yet I walk next to him because he wants me to. I wait for him to open doors because he told me to do that. I buy broccoli and zucchini instead of peas and brussel sprouts because he hates peas and brussel sprouts.

The fact that he can made every decision doesn't mean he has to make every decision. He doesn't tell me what to make for dinner usually, because he doesn't care what it is as long as his tastes are catered to.

Geez, next you'll be saying he lets you out of the cage sometimes.



grubuchmu -> RE: TPE Montreal (2/2/2012 11:41:51 AM)

I didn't meet anyone that qualifies (themselves) their relationships as TPE in Montreal yet.

Why Montreal? Can't I do phone interviews? Phone interviews are great for information, not for a portrait.

I don't think anyone "looks" like anything.

I'm sorry, I don't think I'm the one having some prejudices here.

I'm probably not the only one who assumed the below meant you initially thought the couples you contacted were TPE but then excluded them because they did not fit your definition of trueness.

Sorry then, I guess that sentence was ambiguous.
