Some years ago I decided to strip off in a club and let a rope master suspend me. For me it was just a bi product of things we could get up to on a great evening out but for a few male sub followers it was devastating. One guy who followed me to every club I ever attended was never seen again and the following day I received an email from a sub friend questioning my motives. Being swung up in ropes made me no less dominant, in fact the man who suspended me is a submissive male but none of that mattered. The act was enough confirmation to severely damage all expectations of me. Good on you. I knew there was a reason I always liked ya Maria :-) My rule of thumb (hehehe-always a good thing to reference on a BDSM forum)is Be True to Myself. If I do that, then the rest of the world...and their expectations/ideas/thoughts of and about me... can go pound sand. Which, frankly, is, I believe, kinda a very dominant POV in that I am neither harnessed nor harassed by the opinions of others. I have the freedom to do as I desire and I could care less what the people think...and that's a wonderful thing. What I don't do is wander through a world where I am trapped by the restrictiveness of dominance. In fact,I see dominance more do what I wanna,when I wanna,how I wanna,where I wanna and with who I wanna. I dictate the terms of my life as opposed to the other way around. What I am not responsible for is what others expect of me. That ain't my affair and generally I could care less. They gonna think all sorts of whack job things and I can never meet them all. But I can, and do, try to meet my own expectations. (Fail most of the time too...but I keep trying to get better and in doing so,grow). For me, for reasons posted above, taking it up the ass by anyone would be about the most undominant act I could perform. And I expect to be granted the freedom of my belief. But the flip side of that is I have to have the openmindedness, the awareness, the empathy to recognize that most others want that same freedom that I desire and it's on me to grant them that. Cause in the end,in TTTWD, isn't that what most of us crave-to be free to be sexually the person we want to be? And isn't the ability to do so one of the best things about BDSM? And to do so without judgement or stereotyping. For me taking it up the ass would be a defilement of self. For another it may be their sexual apogee of control. Neither is right and neither is wrong and we both should be equally free to explore. Grins Course, we are equally free to have opinions,but they, as we all know are like assholes-best when unheard
