ORIGINAL: PaulWG How come some mistress' will tell you that they don't want you to see any other mistress besides them? I understand it if the relationship is romantic but if it's not romantic then why do they care so much if you see another mistress? I've heard of mistress' dropping their slaves because they saw someone else even though the relationship wasn't romantic and they even told the slave "I'm not your girlfriend" in the very beginning. As with any relationship, it's all down to the contract you have. If you agree to be exclusive, not being exclusive is breaking the contract. That's not complicated really. I get the implied but unspoken question here which is the possible hypocrisy involved in expecting someone to be exclusive when you have no intentions of being exclusive yourself. Well perhaps, but if you're not happy with the dynamic, don't sign up. The other thing your post potentially implies is that there is one correct or accepted way for Dom/mes and subs to relate to each other. Once again if you're not happy with the dynamic, don't sign up. From a practical point of view Dom/mes who like to have more than one submissive but expect complete exclusivity and focus from each sub are pretty explicit up front, so I'm not sure there is really much of an issue here. As long as it's open and honest, people can choose what works for them. Many subs specifically want to focus on one Dom/me and are turned on is all sorts of ways by the fact that their Dom/me enjoys sexual pleasure with others. Some only accept this if they are present or are the 'primary', for others that is less important. No-one is holding a gun to anyone's head. It's all down to being honest about your emotional needs and clear about what agreement you make. If you break the agreement (by doing something without renegotiation) then someone reacting by ending their connection with you is perfectly natural. If you are looking for someone who likes to play without any relationship expectations, or for whom the moment is more important than the ongoing dynamic, then you should be explicit. Being non-exclusive and romantic are not of course mutually exclusive, depending on your dynamic. There is no one correct way of connecting with your partner(s), just the right way for you and her/him/them. Of course transgressing without prior agreement puts the relationship at risk. That shouldn't really be a surprise.
