RelaxItsMe -> RE: Cheating Dom? (10/7/2015 7:13:53 PM)

I know that Collar Space has been referred to as a "dating site," but, in effect, it's one of the best places to meet people in the BDSM lifestyle. Some Doms and subs have been together years and never had a traditional date. Having a Dom or sub is not exactly the same as dating, and the rules must necessarily change. "Cheating" is what you may call it, but someone else may refer to it as a Dom taking his natural rights. I think it goes beyond "discussing it," which is, of course, essential in any close relationship. But we are talking here about a model of a lifestyle, which has rules of its own. I am not defending disloyalty, and the way you feel about it of course counts. But there are certain values built in to BDSM, and a person finding nuances to make the lifestyle resemble a traditional boy-girl relationship has to ask herself if she is really meant to be a sub under those circumstances. BDSM is edgy by definition; you can't even mention it openly with a loud voice in a Starbucks. So I think we have to define not only what it means for us, but what it means within the context of traditions and mores that have been established for years.
