ORIGINAL: ChrchofDrk I find it odd to think that dominance is something I can turn off and on. I simply am dominant in my way of living. For any given situation I choose to what degree I'm dominant. But I don't turn it off and on like a light switch. It isn't a toggle light switch. It's more like a rotary dial. It can be dimmed or turned down to a lower setting; it can get dialed up to its maximum setting (varying from Dominant to Dominant). I prefer low lighting myself, since I have a soft Domination style. But that isn't really the issue here. The issue is one of respecting the boundaries of others, of consensuality. Whenever you contact or approach somebody, do you assume that they have already agreed to be your subordinate before they even know that you exist, or that you are who you claim to be? There is no relationship, much less D/s relationship dynamic until you both mutually agree to bond in this fashion. quote:
ORIGINAL: ChrchofDrk And it seems too many (so called) submissives aren't truly submissive in any way. Always touting that they're only submissive for their Owner. It's like really. If you don't demonstrate your submission. How can you possibly expect to be taken seriously that you are a submissive? That may be. Some may be BDSM bottoms, as in bondage bottoms, masochistic bottoms, etc. They may be more of a bedroom submissive. Even then, they're not your bottom, masochist, or bedroom submissive -- and you're not their Dominant-Top yet either. Why would you want a sub who acts indiscriminately submissive to each and every Dominant who presents himself? What would be the point of collaring such a person for your own and becoming your property; being her Master would essentially be meaningless in terms of power exchange, recognition of sole authority, and ownership. And many (so-called) Dominants aren't truly Dominant, playing more the role of a BDSM Top or bedroom Dominant, than that of a Master or Mistress. I see that you are a Dom/Domme couple. If neither of you are serious about committing to an O/ownership model, then this may be why you expect instant and non-exclusive submission, because you seek and/or attract only play partner bottoms. That is, unless as a couple, you are offering a poly household commitment where you are upfront that any sub of yours will always be secondary, never a primary partner. What you both do is your own private business, but if your joint agenda is at odds with what you seek, then what you seek will continue to be as elusive as a unicorn. [&:] And from what I understand, unicorns are scarce, much in demand, highly sought after, and can afford to pick and choose from which couple has the most to offer them for their submission.
