Well it has happened again...potential sub comes across my path. We talk by email, we talk by phone, we meet in person then poof "this lifestyle isn't for them" (usually during or soon after discussion of checklist). To explain, I make note of but do not respond to particular kinks or fetishes they list in the first 10 emails, do not participate in phone sex & show up at the coffee house in clothes designed to blend.
First question is, are male subs the only ones flakier than a buttermilk biscuit? Is it a volume thing, so many of them so few of us that men obsessing over the idea of kink makes them insane when they may achieve their goal of having a dominant?

Or is it that meeting a potential sub as a human being instead of the porn fictionalized version of a dominant: leather dress, stiletto heels & a whip for the local starbucks the problem? Is it ok for us to be humans first & kinky second?

Perhaps the reality that you aren't a fetish delivery system set to the "let me do you your way" setting made their escape from fantasy pornland just too impossible. For some, fantasy is sadly preferable to reality. I don't get it either because I've always found the reality world of BDSM fan-fucking-tastic. Perhaps it comes down to many are called up (or think they are), but few answer the call?

The way I see it is that if someone cannot see me for all that I am and not just dwell on one facet (my dominance), then they aren't seeing me as a real person. And I draw a line at being treated as anything less.

I would agree to a point about "escape from porn land". I actually did have a sub once upon a long time ago... rant AT LENGTH about "I can't believe you wore that to meet me". Apparently linen slacks, suede boots (he was a footie) & silk blouse are now unacceptable?!? I was glad had chosen boots after about 30 minutes of his loud protests because I used them to SPRINT to my car!

In this case, out of state potential sub maybe moving here so I kept things light. Clear there would be no sex until he was here, any play again would be light & checklist homework had been given. Apparently it caused all confidence to flee the building

My personal opinion is that is men in general. How do I know? I am one, lol. It took me a bit through life experience to figure it out, and understand that D/s was not just about whips and restraints. I don't have any knowledge, but I think 10 e-mails without any kink related chat is a good test. A quality sub should be able to handle that.

Issues I would like input on:

Is this just a MALE sub thing?
Is this all illusion?
Is being human first & kinky as one part of ourselves just me?

No clue. Probably.

No. Not all of it.

Unfortunately, I think you are going to have to dig through the minutiae.

There sure seem to be a lot of "women" (I'm well aware that some non-trivial fraction of these "women" aren't) here who seem to be here just to flirt, and solicit naughty talk, and have no real intention of attempting to form a relationship.

But what do I know, I'm a guy.

If he was a slave and not submissive, then would all kink come first, and he would not want to see a Mistress as a human being, but only as a Mistress.

There is a huge difference between being a slave and submissive.
A slave is living his fantasy out into real life, about being a real slave!
A submissive is living in a fantasy in real life, about being a slave!

So if you find a slave and you are Domina, then you will not fit together.

Unfortunately there are not many who can tell the difference between slave and submissive, and then occurs all these misunderstandings, and it happens because they do not understand BDSM, and never tried to study a little bit about BDSM, but if I should try to make it easy for you then you can read about how I have described sadism / masochism here sadomasochisme

And when you read about sadism and masochism, then you should try to understand that slave is a form of masochism, they both have fantasies that replace normal sexual fantasies, the difference is wher the masochist fantasize about pain and torture, the slave fantasizing about being real slave.
But they suffer both from a psychological sexual disorder
and the diagnosis is the same for slaves and for master´s as it is for sadists and masochists

A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving acts (real, not simulated) in which the psychological or physical suffering (including humiliation) of the victim is sexually exciting to the person. 
B. The person has acted on these urges with a nonconsenting person, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty. 
The official DSM-IV criteria for sexual masochism are: 
A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving the act (real, not simulated) of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer. 
B. The fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. 

In common has sadists / masochists / slave / master / mistress that they all want to live their fantasies out in real life, and that they want to get as close to their imagination as possible.
So when they enter an M / S. relationship, then the limits are set before, they enter the relationship, and within the limits is the relationship limitless, so there is no chance to say no or stop the relationship, everything that happens after the relationship is entered into, will be considered as part of the fantasy as they live out in real life

It is not far from a master with a BDSM profile to a Master with a house in Cleveland

And as it seems to me, the you and him has agreed limits! and you have destroyed his fantasy by showing your vanilla side.

And I think it was very lucky, that it was not a submissive, who was meeting with a master, and did not know about the difference between D / S and M / S, it might have ended up very wrong.

My experience is that the slave knows what they want! They want to live out the fantasy in real life, and if they see a Domina and not a Mistress they will just leave you.

Master / slave relationship is the most extreme relationship that are in BDSM! Like sadomasochism is the most extreme in BDSM, it's only people who have a psychological sexual disorder which is in those categories and who want to live their fantasies completely out into real life.

But as I said there are not many who understand it, and there are many who believe they are sadists / masochists / master / slave but they are not.

Words can be dangerous if you do not understand the right meaning, and it is my experience here from collarme that people invent their own description of words they do not understand, then they fit into their world view.

A Domina can never have a slave in a D / S. relationship
But a Mistress can get a submissive into an M / S relationship. and punish the submissive to become a slave.

So the next time pay more attention to whether it is a slave or submissive you talk to, because there is a very big difference

I hate to tell you this...male doms not much better-- I use to call it "DDS" -"Disappearing Dom Syndrome" -by email they have direction, plans, commited to the idea..show up at Starbucks and either they flake out (personally I find it incomprehensible that someone who considers himself a Dom is too scared to tell you that he is not interested) or it is if they had someone else writing the emails!!

Before I get lambasted with the "it's no different then vanilla dating", let me just say that, yes, the inconsideration of it WOULD bother me...the only difference is the that I am accustomed to the weakness of vanilla men & I have always been very upfront that I only am interested in social doms

For some guys it takes them a few years to realize that you're human and make human mistakes before their fantasy is shattered and they walk.

Hrxxx,
Your definition doesn't hold true when the new " sub" or " slave" has been defined as new, as I take it this person is from the OP.
from the poof* the lifestyle isn't for me. A newer person can think they are more of a slave, when in reality the maybe just submissive , r even submissive when their mood strikes, which then again wouldn't define a true submissive.....blaah blaah.

In general it should be expected if you met through CM.

If you go to collarme.com, that first page is a full page ad for a video that will teach guys how to get beautiful women. The top of the page says the largest bdsm community, and then there are headshots of sultry gorgeous women.

That's what guys land on when they google bdsm and click on CM. Until they get into the lifestyle, talk to or meet someone in the lifestyle, most have good reason to believe it's all about fetish and sex except for those who come to a site like this already knowing full well that they like to be in charge or to be led outside of the bedroom too.

Most maledom profiles talk about making their submissive a sex slave. Most malesub profiles are looking to be a sex slave. Billy Crystal quote: "Women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place."

I've never had anyone be surprised by what I wore, but then I've always told them in advance.

I see too many mistakes and other problems when using the wrong tool for the job.
I see it a lot on other sites too - ebay especially.

Use a computer, not a toy - you'll find it works much better

It is a term that JeffBC uses...My preference is men who act dominant in everyday life...nothing to do with sex...all about discipline, confidence in what they believe, desire & willingness to take charge & responsibility.

I have only a small amount of experience in submitting in sexual relationships but lengthy experience in submitting in everyday life..
As I say...I make a great 2nd in command but a lousy commander. Career, education..I thrive &succeed where the choices, consequences, rewards are very clearly spelled out for me... Tell me to do "what I think best" and I waffle, try to figure out how to make everybody happy...tell me to do "a or b" I can not only carry it out but, dammit, I will do it better than anyone else ever has...

I'm not saying this is true for you, but it may be the case that these gentlemen simply don't find you to be attractive. Men are extremely visual creatures.


IMO, most flakes don't even build up the courage to actually meet. They just waste your time with endless emails or phone calls. But if he actually meets and THEN flakes out, something else likely happened. This is true on vanilla site too.

If he meets and then flakes out, he probably wasn't physically attracted to you, but doesn't want to tel, you that. As an author once wrote "He's just not that into you".

We talk by email, we talk by phone, we meet in person then poof "this lifestyle isn't for them" (usually during or soon after discussion of checklist). To explain, I make note of but do not respond to particular kinks or fetishes they list in the first 10 emails, do not participate in phone sex & show up at the coffee house in clothes designed to blend.

Thanks for the pinch, this kind of advice is still mis-informed, heavy handed crap!!! Been in kink longer than he's been alive. No limits or anything else negotiated & no slave I'm acquainted with fell for "me dom you slave" from the very beginning they proceeded there over a long period of time. But hey thank for confirming internal compass is in working order on this topic.
