ORIGINAL: bdsmsub4dom <snip>... I find Masters near my age or older (pref over 45) much more exciting. With them, I know they will take me safely beyond my limits, exploring all new sensations and extremes. Seriously? I mean...seriously??? Age is no indication of maturity, and I know quite a few older males who are totally clueless about safe play. You need to refine your selection filter here. quote:
For example, I'm not a pain pig, in fact, I seriously try to avoid it and it is the most anticlimatic thing I know of, but when a skillful Master uses it as one of the tools to force my obedience and alter my mind into a true slave, non-human property, no games - then my trust and respect for him skyrockets. The term you're looking for is 'masochist'. This term is just...unpleasant. And why do you need your obedience to be forced? Being 'forced' to be obedient DOES NOT make you a 'true slave' (whatever the feck THAT means). All it does is give you the hot, wet, fuzzies you're looking for. Not the same thing at all. quote:
There have been times when a "Master" (usually sadist Dom) convinces me to be his slave, when their true intentions are merely a S&m session. It is usually the younger Doms that think that all slaves are pain subs. Being as it is my innate nature, it takes very little for someone to convince me to drive 3 or more hours each way to serve them, regardless what they look like. But I think a true submissive, slave or not, can tolerate anything once bound and gagged, especially if there is a known time limit. But, I have no respect for such deceptive Doms, although I will still take his punishments (once stripped and bound, where can I go?) and easily brought to the point of seriously screaming and writhing, and hating myself for being so gullible. I do as I am told, but I suppose what I hate the most is that I know I am much more if he knew how to train a slave, rather than having just another superficial S&m session. How does your gullibility make these guys deceptive? If this is a pattern that is being repeated (which you seem to imply), then the common factor is YOU, not them. You are making these choices - take ownership of the results. quote:
I can fully understand the intense high an S&m Dom can receive by coercing someone to be bound and then elicit real reactions and emotions, rather than having a pain-lovin' masochist play a role. Clearly you don't understand the mindset of a masochist. Many of us (myself included) don't enjoy the pain. It's not like being wrapped in fluff and brought to orgasm with a vibe - it fuckin' HURTS. Just like it hurts you. The difference is (from my perspective) is that my pain threshold is high. I can take a lot more. And it makes me wet. But it still hurts. You don't get any more 'real' than that. quote:
Perhaps I should be much more selective in seeking a Master, but I am not comfortable questioning someone so much. It gets to the point where I am in too much control. That is why I see these "slave" profiles that are so specific, and i know it is an obvious form of passive-agressiveness; the need for control under the guise of submissiveness. Total and utter bollocks. Being specific means you find the partner who best fulfills your needs. I am a masochist who loves control, but not micromanagement. So that's what I listed in my profile, and that's how I weeded out the unsuitables. And that's how I ended up with Master, a man I've been with for a year and a half of happiness and fulfillment. If you don't want to be more choosy and end up doing one-offs with guys looking for different things to you, then keep doing what you're doing. If you're going to actually find what you need rather than what is merely available, then you have to do something about it. It's not being 'passive-aggressive' or controlling, it's about being a grown-up. quote:
I can understand why many Masters will drop someone if there are more than 3 emails back and forth; it makes sense. I find it quite pathetic that a slave should have the attitude "Do me the way I like it and be quick about it!" For me, the need to trust and serve, regardless of my own superficial interests, far outweighs my need for control. The ones who drop you after 3 back and forth emails are the ones who want instant gratification. They don't want to put in the effort to relate to someone on a human level. I messaged with Master for about 3 months before we eventually met. We talked online for hours every day, and I knew a huge amount about him before I even knew what he looked like. Then when we met, we still talked for two hours non-stop and had more to say. By chatting online even for a week or two before progressing to the phone, I know he's serious about putting effort into a relationship. This approach may not work for everyone, but it's what worked for me. I know him as a 3D person, with a life outside of bdsm. I know about his family, his work, his hopes, his dreams, his passions. He knows about mine. When we eventually moved from 'dating' to a D/s relationship, it felt so natural. After the play, we still had so much more to talk about. Then as time went on, we realised it was evolving into an M/s relationship and we were both extremely happy with that. I love to look after him - cooking meals, making coffee, watching his choice of tv or film, eating out where he wants. It makes me very happy. He loves to come visit me because he knows it'll be stress-free and fun, whether we're playing, fucking, watching tv, eating or discussing mutual interests. quote:
Am I fucked up and reading too much into these relationships and sessions? I would like to read your thoughts on this. You're not having relationships, you're having sessions. You aren't getting as much out of the sessions as you want because you're not being selective enough. If you want sessions, then you need to let the dominant know what it is you're looking for. If they want different things, pass them by. If you want a relationship then you need to know that you have to be the grown-up. Be choosy, be selective, take your time and put some effort into your search.
