Speaking from experience, I think you are into the fantasy of what a domme is, you are used to going to pro dommes and 'scening', and that is not the same thing as being sub to a domme in a lifestyle fashion. I know where I am talking, I played with pro dommes for years before it became lifestyle, and it also took me a bit to figure out the difference between doing it in a pro session and doing it lifestyle. Reading your post (and please don't take this as a rebuke, it isn't, not at all) what I see is the dynamic of the pro session "here is what I want", item 1, item 2, etc. When you do pro sessions, you tend to fill out questionairs or give them a list of things you want to do, don't want to do, and they meld the scenes around that. Yeah, I have heard pros call clients 'slaves' and so forth, but in the end, paying them is making you in charge, pure and simple, and there isn't the return. One of the things with pro dommes is not all of them are lifestyle, they are damn good at the psychodrama, but in their personal lives they may do kink play, but they aren't into it outside the play space at work (and that is fine, that isn't a knock). Others are lifestyle, have subs of their own, but don't/won't get involved with a client. One of the things I think you are missing, that if you read some of the threads on the general board, is that in a D/s, it is still a relationship. Others have written about how it took them a while to find the right person, that they needed to mesh (whether as sub or M/D, doesn't matter). You mentioned that it was ruined with the one domme, because you got friendly with her, hung out with her......I think the problem is you are expecting a domme who is this cruel owner, who sees you as a piece of property, superior to yourself, and in most cases it isn't going to work like that, even the most dominent women I know can't live in cold bitch mode 24/7 (they will do it in bursts), they still need a companion/friend/lover/ mate, whatever and it is going to have other elements other then the D/s in most cases . For example, if you and the domme in question became friends, why did that ruin the play for you? Did you feel it was less authentic because you hung out, talked did things together? Lifestyle d/s couples hang out, talk, go to movies, have fun, change diapers, do all kinds of things......did you ever talk to her about your feelings for her? Try seeing if she would be interested in a relationship with you, both as partners and as a D/s? You aleady had her attention, she seemed to like you as a friend, maybe that could blossom. I think your perceptions of what a domme is are shaped by what someone does in a play session or by reading fiction.,you are expecting someone who fits, as you put it, your perception of a domme, and the problem with that IMO it is unrealistic, you are expecting a fantasy figure to be reality. Put it this way, there may be dommes out there that want a 'real' slave, one they lord over, treat in reality like a piece of property and so forth, but I think you are going to find that most dommes are like many of the women on this board, they are dominant, some of them quite seriously so,but are looking for a real life slave/sub, someone they have respect for, have a connection to. If you are looking to live out the fantasy sequence that goes on in a couple of hours of play in a pro scene, where it is very easy to act out the uber cold, uber controlling domme, you are going to be really disappointed. Me, I would recommend trying a relationship with the dommes you seemed to like, woo them (they are still women, my friend), and see where that goes, you may find that the real life of a D/s beats the hell out of the fantasy 'cold bitch mistress' played out in a dungeon session...I had some hot fucking times doing pro sessions, and learned about my submissive nature with the help of a very skilled pro domme, but it paled in comparison to when it came into my 'real' relationship with my spouse........there is nothing like being the sub of someone you are linked to through friendship, companionship and/or/preferable, love. I would advise you you already have some potential dommes looking right at you, forget about the fantasy and go for the real gold:)
