As an old person but novice in the dark side can you clarify me the difference between slave and a sub , not sure what I am
A Mistress and a Godess is there one

And thoughts on domestic or dungeon play

Grateful for your time and responses

1. Difference between slave and sub - depends on who you're talking with. No official answer.

2. A Mistress is an honorific, usually used to simply show respect. A Goddess, to me, indicates that someone is living in a fantasy world.

Agreeing with DS on the first point. Best left up to those in the relationship.

I have to admit, I'm not big on the Goddess thing. Mistress (without a qualifying name associated with it) I still associate as a relationship moniker. This is different from some other cultures within the whole alternative lifestyles thing. Not everybody does everything the same way.

When you are asking about domestic vrs dungeon play, are you wanting to know about those who only play at home as opposed to those who also play in public dungeons?

I have seen the Goddess thing used a lot as in more full figured ladies as in BBWs

As others have said, don't worry about nomenclature and titles. There is no agreed upon definition for anything. So slave/sub and the like only get you in the general ballpark. My feeling is if you don't know use the most generic term possible -- submissive. And then don't worry about classifying what you -- describe who you are, what you want/need, etc.
