ORIGINAL: pg4g Shaming a sub for one of his needs, or saying "you're not really submissive because you HAVE a need" isn't really a fair evaluation of the man. I didn't do that. Personally I don't see an issue at all with a submissive having needs/fantasies/wishes. In fact, I would say most all of them do have those things. They're inherently selfish though, and there is nothing wrong with that. Human beings are inherently selfish a lot of the time, even submissives. However, what I DO have a problem with is somebody pretending a selfish desire of their own is not their own desire at all, but instead a desire to please another person. Sorry, but that doesn't hold up, if his desire when being beaten is to please his Domme, then his desire would be to take a beating until she wants to stop and he doesn't want that, he wants her to stop when he wants her to stop, even if that's further than she wants to go. That means his desire for being beaten has got nothing to do with him pleasing a Domme, and everything to do with him living out a fantasy. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, at all, even in the slightest. And it doesn't even mean that he's not submissie, or that he doesn't desire to please a Domme in a whole bunch of other fashion. But... in the instance of being beaten, it's not about pleasing the Domme for him, it's about wanting her to do what he wants. And if he wants to get what he's looking for, he needs to start by being honest -to himself and potential partners- about what it is precisely what he's looking for. Claiming that he's looking to please a Domme by dictating to her what to do simple isn't going to get him anywhere, when on the other hand, when he puts out there he's looking for a sadist to mutually explore where his limits are, he may very well get what he wants. I totally agree with UllrsIshtar on this one. It really does depend on the context. For young, wet behind the ears subs who are still learning the ins and outs of the lifestyle and what it takes to attract a Dominant partner, you see this often. When you're telling me that after you "finish college, moving to London and then to Singapore", and what part of this is remotely even tied into seeking a dominant? OR even THINKING of the Dominant as an actual person with feelings in a vanilla context. I think sometimes, more often than it should, you see this kind of selfish submission merely to satiate the kink. I try to correct the young subs even if they may not belong to me because sometimes they're not even aware of how selfish some of their assertions might be. Earlier today "you should have sat on your sub's face while you..." Uh...excuse me? Firstly why would I even contemplate being sexual with someone to earn their submission? It really is angering but I take into consideration their age and lack of experience and gently guide them into realizing the way their disposition should be as a sub. As far as this Slave John guy, he's 6 YEARS deep in seeking and LadyPact outed him for it. He will be on a perpetual search for years following this one as well I'll bet. He will never make a proactive attempt to be collared. Another kind of sub that just makes my skin crawl, LOL.
