ORIGINAL: Rochsub2009 Yeah, as others have stated, it's hard to respect a Dom/Domme who can't even think of their own ideas. Not to pick on you personally, because lots of people are saying this, but I don't agree. Or maybe I'm a shitty dom/top and I'm being defensive. But hell. I've read somewhat widely, and I've attended classes and demos, and I've talked with other people about their experiences. All of this provides a knowledge base from which I produce "my" ideas. I'm perfectly happy to admit that I've copied things straight off of CM message board posts, or right out of a book, and had my partner think I was a great top, when all I really did was to adapt someone else's technique to my situation. Haven't most people done this, with most things in their lives? There aren't too many genuinely original ideas in the world. I read the pushback more as arising from: "wait a sec... you don't know what you're doing yet, and you're charging for your time anyway?" I think the OP would have gotten more help if she weren't positioning herself as a professional.
