ORIGINAL: crumpets Is there any power in a female led relationship WITHOUT the sexual dynamic? <snip> Yet, the desire to please should be equal in both sexual and non-sexual roles. Is this apparent contradiction something I will grow out of (or be trained out of)? Or, is that epic battle of purpose the norm in all your female-led relationship? OP, you are confusing having a D/s dynamic with engaging in BDSM activities. They can be intertwined, but they are separate concepts. D/s is a state of being. BDSM practices are a state of doing. Got that? Being vs. Doing. You and I are human beings, not human doings. This is the first distinction. The second distinction, is that a D/s power-authority dynamic does not require BDSM, apart from the Disciplinary aspect (and that can be optional as well, such as with some ABs & lg/lb). BDSM doesn't require the full spectrum of BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sado-masochism). For example, I don't get into bondage other than to use restraints; I am not sadistic, and I don't want a masochist (sometimes referred to as a pain slut). There are D/s-M/s couples who don't engage in BDSM or kinky sex. (I know, hard to believe, but it's true.) While I am no expert on these matters, there are many non-sexual service arrangements made between an s-type (sub, slave) and a Dominant, including D/s couples (combinations of Dominant, sub and/or S/switch). If it's the Domination you're after, this can be sexual or non-sexual. Some s-types are asexual, not as frequent with D-types, but they may already have a primary partner for sexual relations and choose not to engage in sex or sexual BDSM with additional subs. (They may engage in erotic BDSM Topping activities without physical sexual contact with a bottom, or allow a sub to gratify a fetish.) I have a cross-dressing friend who is asexual. Whatever your (plural) mind can conceive of, is what might be out there. To answer your main question, there are many FemDom relationship dynamics which have D/s protocols in place which don't involve or include sex. (FLR is a subset, or a more specific kind of female-led relationship between intimate partners, such as spouses or the equivalent thereof.) How powerful these types of D/s relationships would be for you personally, would depend on your needs. If you couldn't be satisfied filling the role of a non-sexual service sub, then don't consent to becoming one, and seek out a sensual Domme who requires more of a sensual sub. By the same token, if you are pain-averse, then don't get with a Sensual Sadist in your desperation to find a Mistress to Dominate you. quote:
ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr If you're asking if a male can serve a female without ever getting sex, I would say that anything is possible but I'd be willing to bet that those instances are extremely rare. Michael, as a Sensual Domina, I only wish that this were true. With newbies this might apply, but I run into too many experienced s-types who are accustomed to not having the full spectrum of sexual relations with their previous Mistresses, who are just 1 to 2-trick ponies (oral sluts, anal sluts). I have a pal who has never had penile sexual intercourse with his (married-to-a-vanilla) Mistress for over a decade. Many of these male subs only want or else settle for performing oral worship.
