LadyPact -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 10:11:35 AM)

Considering that I've kind of been there, here are My two cents.

The concept of can a Master accept someone who is a submissive and not a slave, understanding that they will not have as much power/control over that person, and won't have as much authority in the dynamic if they believe M/s is stricter than D/s is possible. I'd say that really boils down to how important that person would be in the M's life and if the M is willing to accept those circumstances. The questions the M should be asking is, basically, is it worth it and is the level of submission now compatible with the dynamic.

I happen to be an over time, rather than over night person. However, something about the original post gives Me the vibe that, personally, the level of submission wouldn't be enough for Me. It's all about coaxing, pleading, and persuading for the submission to happen and that's not My style. I also don't have any compatibility for willful and bratty. Others have personalities that will be happy with that. I'm just not one of them and I do happen to be a strict "obey" type. When I want obedience and all I'm getting is constant challenges, I'm not going to be happy. The reason I'm saying this is because, if you aren't close enough to middle ground, or wherever the two of you can be in the same field, at minimum one of you isn't going to be satisfied with the arrangement and the awesome sex isn't going to be worth the resentment.

This next part is just for conversations sake.

When he tells me stories of what he got up to with previous slaves, my heart literally stops beating in sheer horror. I can't be that person -

Hi Missokyst. I think you may have jumped the gun there. "What he got up to" could be stuff like cuttings (you know how some folks are about permanent marks) or watersports or whatever else. Something like a cutting could make somebody very scared if they don't like sharps or blood. At the same time, him telling her about his past scenes at least gives her the idea of what kind of experience that he has in it. Let's face it. If I had a scalpel in My hand, I would hope that the bottom I was about to slice open would want to know if I've done it before.

Part of the problem is that when it comes to these forbidden tasks, I want him to encourage, persuade and coax me - I want him to train me and make it doable for me - whereas he wants brute obedience, obeying just for the sake of it.

It sounds like you two have a difference in style, has nothing to do with him being a "master" and you being submissive. As for forbidden tasks, it is hard for me to imagine what those might be. But, in my view limits are things I have for my partner. I, myself have few hard limits but I have a TON of limits for men I am playing with until I know that going down those roads are unlikely to damage us if things went awry. Limits disappear as I determine how much I can trust him. It is not so much being coaxed into things as it is relaxing my gaurd.
This was actually quite good. I happen to think this is a very smart way of going about things. I honestly believe that bottoms/s-types should be more guarded in the beginning and maybe keep some things on the limit list until they DO get to that place of trust. I would have to think that the comfort level of the participants is better after two years than it would be for two months. For some people, some limits can change depending on what has been built in the dynamic itself.

I'm truly humbled that so many of you took the time to reply. It means a lot, and your insights have been valuable.

The relationship is a very new one, I'm almost ashamed to admit how new it is in light of all the advice relating to time and patience and growth. I can see now that my own expectations were unreasonable, as well as his. I'm grateful to all those who made this point so clearly.

The task in question that I refused was that he wanted me to drink a small amount of his urine - about half a small glass. I hadn't listed it as a 'hard limit' because it didn't occur to me. And besides, it isn't a hard limit, it's just a really, really stubborn one. He is completely confused as to why I don't want to be obedient, after all the other outrageous things we have done in our short relationship. In a way he's right - it isn't dangerous, it isn't going to hurt me - but I just really don't want to. At least I have learned to be a little more careful about discussion of limits, even if it doesn't benefit me in this relationship.

I don't think he is an abusive man, and I don't think he means to harm me or do me wrong. I think we just have very different hopes and expectations, and they don't necessarily match up. Whether or not that can be fixed remains to be seen.

Thank you once again for all the sincere and thoughtful replies, I really do appreciate them.

As time has gone on, I find I fall more and more into the camp of what LadyP has described.

I do not NEEEEEEEEED a slave........or a submissive.........or another person in my life. I WANT, but not to the point where I am willing to sacrific what makes me, me. I won't compromise and be a part time bossy bitch.

I am perfectly cool with a woman taking time to get to know me, before she cedes control over to me. But, there comes a time when it's all or nothing. Great sex and chemistry isn't going to be a consolation prize for me not being my authentic self.

I would consider being fluid bonded to be something that doesn't happen in a new relationship.




JanahX -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 10:54:22 AM)

There are certain things in fetish that I will never do - not for anyone. It would fuck me up - and if I cant even imagine myself doing it, chances are, there is no way in hell Im doing it.

Now there have been conversations on the boards as of late - with basically the questions posed to the sub/slave/bottom > how far would you go for your owner. The answers were mixed. Some would go as far as body limb removal, some said they'd be out the door with out blinking twice...

I myself - look for people that actually care about my best interest and actually are aware that Im a human being, and that I need to function reasonably well outside the kinkroom. To press something on me that I have clearly explained why its not a good idea for me - and will fuck me all up mentally, is not someone that is thinking about me, they are just thinking about themselves. It also gives me a good indication that somewhere down the line Im going to be disposable. Selfish people more often than not operate that way.

If your gut instinct is telling you that it's not going to work, is it worth trying to make it work anyway?

You should understand that this viewpoint is written from the standpoint of a TPE committed relationship and you're talking about "sex slave" and "sex master". So YMMV. For me and me alone I could certainly do well with a partial authority vs. total authority. But I'd look on that as vanilla. It just wouldn't push any particular buttons of mine because "partial authority" is kind of the norm for me in life as a whole.

What I wouldn't be able to cope with is someone who thinks I'm stupid ("sometimes I think his decisions are stupid") nor could I cope with someone who is "argumentative". Carol and I are not argumentative with each other even when we are arguing. An otherwise wonderful woman who just doesn't want to obey me is "a wonderful woman" in my mind. One who does not respect me is "wonderful for someone else".

To me, those kind of deep kinks should not be given away lightly to the first duminant who chest thumps for them. While I dont want a virgin, and dont shy away from experienced people, it is rather special to be the first to do something with someone.

I find it sad that some hear bitchiness and a.lack of submission in the OP's post. I see a strong woman with standards who desires a deeper relationship before she deepens her submission. Frankly, its the sort of trait I seek in a partner. Someone who submits effortlessly is unlikely to make a good slave to me.




Missokyst -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 11:41:47 AM)

Over the years I have done a bit of stuff. Usually these things come up in conversation as I get to know someone, but in her case it sounded more like he was telling her tales to let her know what his other partners have allowed. If I am standing there and there is a needle coming my way I would want to know he had done this before, but until we get to the point where those things may be possible I really don't want to hear about his other conquests. It didn't sound to me like they were anywhere near that point.

Honestly I have done a lot of stuff, knives, needles, cutting, but I sure wouldn't be telling my relatively new partner I have done this with a former dominant until we got to that point in our relationship. It is kind of like throwing down a gauntlet at a jousting tournament and seeing if he can pick it up before I even knew if he had been on a horse.

What Janah brings up is why I am a pretty big proponent of taking time to actually KNOW one another before jumping into any sort of power exchange. Sure, I am all about 100% obedience........BUT......I want to know the stuff that Janah is talking about. If I tell her to do something that she simply cannot do, then she needs to communicate that to me pronto. If I don't know the facts then I cannot make good decisions.

Granted, I would prefer to know all of the facts BEFORE I ask her to do whatever it is that causes the problem. However, life being what life is, that isn't always going to be the reality. In that case, she needs to say more than "no"




SirElegance7 -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 12:11:50 PM)

Greetings,
Here is my two cents. I want to piggy back on "Toysinbabeland" because I agree with it so much. I do believe anything is possible and there are always exceptions to the rules as far as Master and sub working out. But it in your case it seems to me "he" wont be satisfied. He wants slave behaviors but wont train you. And you don't want to be that person but want the forbidden things to be doable and he wont train you. You made it easy for him by telling him how to possibly make it happen and he is not going with that. Good luck, but I think he is making it super hard for you.

If he has to persuade, then it's no fun for him. He gets frustrated by my lack of obedience, and I get frustrated that he wants me to be something I'm not.











Of course it is natural for you to want or to crave his training.
This element of need erases any feelings of fault that you may have felt.
It justifies your acceptance to leave the responsibility to your D.


However,
It seems that if he wants brute obedience for you to breach your limits, he has broken the illusion of trust.
You cannot walk a tight rope at 100 feet in the air the first time with no net, and anyone that expects you not to balk should be assessed.
A D has so many responsibilities to those he owns, and one of them is proper preparation for untraveled roads.


I liken this to not giving a 16 year old a ferrari, he's just not going to take care of what he owns right.


Those that push without concern to what it is doing internally are a huge red flag.

That's not to say you can't be pushed there...sometimes you should be, especially if you want it, it's simply to point out that you need to ask him why he thinks that blind submission of hard limits is not irresponsible on his part.

It's so much better when your D knows what he's doing.

When they don't, they tend to ” expect”
When they do they usually don't even need to ask.

Good luck to you both.






sexyred1 -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 12:15:04 PM)

I agree with Janah and Simply Michael.

With Janah, not because an act might fuck me up, but just because I am allowed to have limits. Believe me, I do enough for someone when involved.

With SimplyMichael in that certain acts are more intimate and special and one should really evaluate the quality of a person and relationship before engaging in them. Otherwise, what good is it to give everything to any guy who asks who calls themselves a Dom?

I am one of those submissive women who does have standards, probably too high for most, but that's me.

I agree with JanahX. Does this guy have your best interest in mind? If not, I would not feel the level of trust needed to proceed in the relationship. A relationship that is one way would not work for me personally.

I do believe a Master can be satisfied if he has the self-respect he needs. Then he wouldn't have to find it (self-respect) through you. Communication is key here. If he is unwilling to listen then...

What LadyPact and LaT said.




anniezz338 -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 1:28:27 PM)

I wonder if there is some plain ole manipulation going on with the talk of past slaves and you being the only one that has sent him into "dom space". People have a tendency to tell others what they want to hear in order to get what they want.

Another flag for me is it seems he has let you know in some way he can get many other slaves if he desires. If that is a way to keep you on your toes, it's pretty tasteless. And with all this breaking up and getting back together, i would reconsider the relationship.




LaTigresse -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 2:08:22 PM)

I would as well, but not for any of the reasons, real and imaginary, you've given.

I'm smelling bullshit! Just because he TELLS you he did things that make your heart stop with "twue no wimit swaves" doesn't mean these women exsist!!! I'm smelling a sadits that gets off on I want what I want & will bully until they give in or discard ruining self esteem on the way out the door. He's getting off more from making you go farther than before than the task at hand.

If this works for you for whatever reason make him learn patience. Respect is earned trust is earned & he doesn't seem to want to earn anything. I want I want gimmie gimmie stops being cute about age 2. Its certainly not attractive. In someone pushing for edge play...forget edge play & no limits early on.

My vote is these women exsist in his spank bank or left because he's selfish and/or caused them injury/harm. Someone that has to bully isn't dominant & certainly hasnmastered themselves!!



<--- No Limit or safe word slave.

That being said, a Master does have responsibilities of their own. Just like a slave is to serve their Master, a Master needs to take care of the slave.


But that it not what this is about.

For some reason reading this made me think of high school...the cute girl you think "does it" is hot, the one you know gang banged the whole football team, then basketball & her friend says she likes you-oh so not!

You're very right about being the first can be fun. Much like comment earlier in this thread a long wake of unsatisfied or injured partners is a sign of someone to avoid. I'm not one that supports the golden cupcake version of submission is a gift, but there is nothing wrong with being picky about your partners...especially in this lifestyle!
To op: google BDSM checklist, I'm guessing there are a lot more limits you have that you didn't even imagine would be an issue.




sheisreeds -> RE: Can a Master be satisfied with a submissive? (11/5/2012 4:16:42 PM)

There are different kinds of brats, subs, slaves, doms, and masters.

What it really comes down to is whether or not he is up to your challenges, and are you up to his. That is any relationship on the planet.

One thing that concerned me OP is you seem to be (not saying you are) asking for a lot from him. In any established dynamic certain things should just be a given, if ongoing coaxing, arguing, pleading, etc is needed then you are a brat. The kind that is bad in any sort of relationship.

However, being submissive and potentially a slave does not give him carte blanche when a relationship is new. However, the onus is on you to communicate why you feel the way you do about certain requests, and how you plan to get over them.

I am a very feisty switch, when I have been in relationships with dominants usually they were session based, and it was know what they were getting into. I ain't cut out for being anyone's quiet slave. You can make me do nearly anything for a few hours once a week or so. Some past partners LOVED that struggle, but it is not the makings of an ongoing relationship except in very unique circumstances.

There are also all kinds of relationships, my current relationship is with a switch. We both love adversarial situations, and it is a part of our daily life.

Some D/s dynamics have some expected give and take and overall submissive fuss that is viewed as a wanted part of the dynamic by both partners.

No matter what though the relationship needs to be balanced and healthy. Both of you need to feel fulfilled, safe, and comfortable in the roles that are agreed upon. Both of you need to feel like those roles are being fulfilled.

She likes the sadistic side but isn't getting what she needs from him to "fully let go"
