I meet him at the door with a drink and a kiss. There's nothing BDSM-y about it for us; I'm just excited to see him




Endivius -> RE: Is greeting your signficant other (6/14/2012 8:41:04 PM)

When the girls used to stay with me We all left together in the morning, I inspected thier clothes to make sure they were to my expectations, and then kissed them before leaving. When I came home they would greet me at the door with a kiss and then go back to thier studies. It wasn't like I insisted on this behavior. We just started doing it. It felt natural, and became so.




Delilya -> RE: Is greeting your signficant other (6/14/2012 8:44:47 PM)

I don't live with my current sub. However with me and my ex, whoever came home first greeted the other. It was a mushy love thing, nothing kinky about it.




DesFIP -> RE: Is greeting your signficant other (6/15/2012 12:17:19 AM)

What the OP doesn't seem to understand is that BDSM includes D/s and therefore if the dominant in the relationship prefers to be met with a quick kiss while the submissive cooks dinner, it is therefore a BDSM element. Nakedness is not required, neither is kink to qualify. One person making the decision and the other carrying it out is all that's required.

Unfortunately for the op, most of us are ordinary people who don't throw dinner to the floor choosing instead to have sex on the table. We prefer to save the sex for later while enjoying a quiet meal.

Other than the fact I'm not poly this sounds lovely. But as you rightly say Endivius (see I got your name right this time!! It was honestly a typo before <g>) it's not always protocol sometimes it's just a nice thing to do. There's nothing wrong with ritual and protocol for those that enjoy it and in some dynamics I've been in it's been part of it and been enjoyable, however if it isn't part of your dynamic that isn't wrong either. Relationships are as individual as the people within them.




LafayetteLady -> RE: Is greeting your signficant other (6/15/2012 7:34:19 AM)

Actually I disagree with you on that.  I think he doesn't understand that for many of us here, D/s and BDSM are just part of a relationship.  Whether you are in a kink relationship or a vanilla one, greeting your partner at the door is something you do.  Very few people have said they do this because it is what the dominant in the relationship demands or orders, but rather simply because they are happy to see the person and so they greet them accordingly.

Of course, your comment about rushing to have sex on the table rather than act like an adult and enjoy dinner is spot on.  It would seem what the OP doesn't understand is that for many of us, while there is that BDSM undercurrent all the time, there is a lot of time for people who are living together 24/7 that it is simply life.

Very true. But the reason the door is unlocked and I'm making dinner when he comes home is because he has asked for it to be that way. The reason I find out what he'd like to drink before I go back to making dinner, is because I'm serving him. So, while greeting someone at the door may have nothing to do with D/s, some components may.

Considering how grumpy he can get when he gets hungry.......throwing the food on the floor would be a disaster. [;)]

when they return home, say from work, part of your ritual? Do you see this as part of a BDSM ritual? And I mean, getting up, and greeting them at the door, and so on. Not a "hello" shout out from behind the computer screen.

Something someone else posted elsewhere about greeting their SO when they come home made me think about this. They mentioned it in the vanilla setting (wasn't a BDSM forum), but somehow I got the impression I was speaking with the s in a d/s equation. Maybe takes one to know one, or maybe it's just me reading things into it. For clarity, no, the site wasn't for BDSM or dating, it was another board.



This would never work for me. 

I like to be treated with the respect that Ive earned.  I require different consentual greetings depending on each submissive as each sub is different.

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is one of the most beautiful sights that have ever graced my eyes.

"when they return home, say from work, part of your ritual? Do you see this as part of a BDSM ritual?"

In my mind, relationships require maintenance. When I get home, I like to take several minutes to focus on my relationship. We both pay respect to each other. She kisses my feet and welcomes me. She tells me why she is glad I own her and talks about something specific that has touched her. I tell her how she has enriched my life, how much I value having her. I take a moment to give her a 'good girl' by telling her something specific she has done that reinforces my love and appreciation for her.

Once, I had a house guest witness this greeting ritual and he was so moved, tears came to his eyes. He said it was one the most touching things he had ever seen and that we had merged leather and love to a point that it transcended kink. For me BDSM is also relationship tool, a style in which we express our affections, passions, love and sex.

I also like to start the day with erotic spankings. It reinforces her position to me. She brings me coffee or breakfast in bed, and wakes me up with sex. I ask, "have you had you spankings yet today?" Over my knee she goes, and when her cheeks are good and rosy, I put my fingers in her and make her squirt.

For me, BDSM rituals reinforce the bond of the relationship. It isn't just leather, kink or role reinforcement, but it is taking time with each other each day that strengthens the bond. How long does it take to start the day with food and sex? How long does it take to greet each other with respect after the work day ends? You get what you pay for. Paying respect is a good investment for me.

Seeing my slave kneeling when I come home is one of the sweetest sights in the world to me.

Now I am curious what my husband would do if I met him at the door like that? There are times I don't even hear him come in, he loves that since it give him a chance to scare the crap out of me. When we lived in our old house it was right by the railroad, on an episode of FBI files they talked about gangs traveling by the railroad that were very dangerous and one was a serial killer they were chasing. That freaked me out a bit since the train stops quite often to switch onto the spur line into town. My husband got off work early one night while I was taking a shower. I did not get a hi I am home early, nope he went down into his shop got and ax and burst into the bathroom yelling holding the ax up. I think people up in St Louis may have heard me followed by his laughing.

I'd have to lock the dogs out because they'd be sniffing my privates.......




Moonlightmaddnes -> RE: Is greeting your signficant other (6/16/2012 8:50:36 AM)

OMG!! I literally LOLed at that. I dont have any pets so no that wouldn't be a problem. My kids like going to my moms so they would be gone. I just wonder if he would smile or give me a O.o look and ask me what the hell I was doing and get my ass up off the floor.

This gave me a laugh, so did you avatar when I first saw it, very cute and disheveled.

For me that naked on the floor thing is a bit much, maybe perfect for valentines or something special but everyday?
Being greeted with a hug and a kiss is good, and asking me what I would like to drink
Puts me in a nice dom place, I would say being served by your sub is a perfect transition from
Work stress to home relaxation.

Seriously?
This WAS a nice thread.
Thanks people for jumping onto the *lets be douchebags* wagon and wrecking it...good job.


I think I've gotten it all cleaned up now.  I'm sure, however, that if I missed something, someone will let me know with the report button.

Let's knock off the personal sniping back and forth.  You would think this was the politics & religion forum.

please show me one word or sentence that would make you say i don't seem to understand anything you said?

neither post violates tou.

if someone is going to be rude enough to tell me i don't understand something, i think it's reasonable to ask them to actually discuss what words i actually said that made them say that.

this isn't a bad thing - it's what discussion boards are meant for (oh and for chiming in with your opinions).

Here's what leads me to believe that you don't understand. I hope it helps.
