I'm not dominant, but I am fairly private. I think this is not really a D vs.s question so much as a level of privacy question. Jobs, personalities, family situations are factors more so than which side of the kneel someone is on in my estimation. I wonder if what you are seeing in the posts is more of an experienced vs. inexperienced factor. People new to the lifestyle or in a new relationship are often confused about norms and expectations. The boards are a way to ask questions that people sometimes feel weird about asking others in real life. Further, how do you know it is behind the Dom's back? More than once Ive seen people directed to ask fairly private questions on the boards. Even if it is behind the Dom's back, sometimes the questions are about safety. No matter who I am or am not involved with, when push comes to shove, it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to maintain my safety. If I am with someone who makes me wonder about my safety, asking how to handle it, am I overreacting, etc. seems like a reasonable thing to do. If it is someone new to the lifestyle, they probably don't have a confidant outside of the boards. If they aren't new and are airing their dirty laundry, I expect that it will be handled... either by the Dom or, as I've seen several times, by the community educating the person... or losing respect for them. best, sunshine
