ORIGINAL: subbybound I'll answer your questions and ask you some. For me, play and sexual encounters do equate as being friends. I can't separate intimacy and feelings. If someone is sexually pleasing you don't you develop feelings for that person? Me? Usually. However, it's not automatic. Like other Dominants, I can also get off on stuff like power and control and it has nothing to do with liking the other person at all. My personal preference is to have my sexual encounters with those who I have an emotional attachment but I've also done so with none. Also, I happen to be one of the folks on the forum that engages in what's known as meet and beat and/or pick up play. I'm not attached to the people that I do that with over and above making sure they aren't harmed during the scene. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every person I've ever swung a flogger at is a person who's been an actual friend. It's not an automatic inspiration for an emotional attachment. quote:
No, she is not treating me like a friend. One poster mentioned that "good friends" are able to talk and sort things out. Make amends. This is not the case with her. If someone gives me the time of day, on a continual basis, I consider this person to be a friend. If someone gives you the time of day and chats with you, on a continual basis, wouldn't you consider that person a friend? Unlike some of the respondents to the thread, I also don't believe in the idea that a friend remains a friend no matter what they've done. I'm not saying what you did was big or horrible here. What I am saying is that certain things people do are a darn good reason to put them out of your life. Is your 'friend' giving you the time of day now that SHE initiates? Has she called or sent an email to ask you how you are doing or if your job is going ok? Has she sent you a card? Did she think of a joke that she knew would make you laugh so she sent you an email? That's the kind of stuff I do for friends. Play partners, I might talk to online to arrange play dates. I might discuss play plans. Check in to make sure they are doing well post play. (If there's any intense level of S/m going on or just to make sure they are doing well.) I'm not saying I don't communicate with the people that I play with. It's just saying it's more based on the play arrangement, rather than the broader scope of things that I'd talk about with friends. qft A lot of things are deal breakers in any relationship, friend, lover, spouse.
