Rochsub2009 -> RE: D/s relationship vs. FLR (7/6/2013 4:46:06 AM)

MissSinfulCyn,
I'm sorry I'm late to this thread, and I hope you're still around and following the thread.
As others have mentioned, FLR's are just a subset of D/s. Not counting poly relationships, there are essentially 4 types of D/s relationships:
1) M/f (Male Dom/female sub)
2) M/m (Male Dom/ male sub)
3) F/m (Female Dom/male sub)
4) F/f (Female Dom/female sub)
Technically, both 3 & 4 are FLR's. However when people talk about FLR's, they are typically only referring to scenario #3.
Because in standard vanilla relationship the male is generally considered the "head of household", FLR's are considered to be unusual.
BTW, not every D/s situation with a male sub and female Dom is an FLR. There can be play partner situations, or service sub situation wherein the female is dominant, but it isn't a FLR. The key is typically the existence of a romantic relationship between the two parties.
I usually keep my profile hidden. However, since I typically engage in FLR's, I will unhide it temporarily so you can read it. In my profile, I provide a detailed description of an FLR (or at least my version of an FLR).
I hope this helps.

Edit: Oops! I just noticed that Missokyst already provided the 4 types of D/s relationships. I guess I should have read page 2 of the thread before replying. Sorry about that.
Btw, please let me know when you have looked at my profile so I can rehide it. I'm not looking right now, so I prefer to keep my profile hidden. Thanks.
