This particular issue is touching my life at this moment. I truly believe that some subs think that Domme's do not have feelings and that they don't get emotionally involved/attached with their sub or potential sub. Well that notion is incorrect from my perspective. I also feel that some subs are just thrill seekers, and have no real idea as to what the lifestyle entails as far as the mental aspect goes.....they are primarily focused on the sexual component of things without realizing that there is a progression of sorts to be experienced before engaging in sex. I for one have been asked by a certain sub, what my "philosophy" was about the lifestyle. I answered that I live my philosophy, I don't see a real need to write it down like it some manifesto. I also fine tune my approach according to the type of woymn I'm interacting with at the time...no 2 individuals are alike, so one's approach has to reflect the needs of the individual you are interacting with presently. This particular woymn does not understand my answer in reference to her question about my "philosophy" about D/s relationships. I enjoy the personality traits ...intellect....motivations, etc. that each new partner brings to the table and I adapt my approach to suit us both. Back to the progression of a D/s relationship....I first Insist on "getting to know" the woymn I'm bringing into my life, I want to know the underlying emotions/needs/history of her background....that is necessary for Me to tailor my approach to her, and therby be a sucessful Domme for her. So, no I do not have an iron-clad "philosophy" in place because for me, that severly limits My ability to enjoy what a particular sub has to offer. For instance, if a sub has certain past negative experiences that has scarred their lives, I will not bring those elements into our interactions...not even to "correct/punish" when the sub has failed to follow my rules/protocol. I am always sensitive to such things and would never emotionally/mentally/physically scar or damage a sub. I hope that other Domme's are comforted by the advice given by the members here....I know I have, and I thank the original poster for bringing up this topic, and wish her well. I feel your pain, and I too am working through such an issue....makes me think that perhaps we Domme's should Not expose our hearts to anyone, and steer clear of all subs who are just looking for a "good time charlie" or for a "thrill a minute" type of interaction, these types of subs are probably just immature thrill seekers who are not at all suitable for anything of a deeper nature.
