Hello everyone i am new to collarme and have been reading the threads for a few weeks now. Lots of good people and sound advice given with so many different points of view going around. It gives me a lot to think about at times which is good, i love to always be challenged! Here goes my question, although really it's more then simply a question, perhaps it's part rant too. Please let me know if i go overboard, but understand much of it if born out of frustrations and perhaps misplaced expectations?? You can all decide and let me know. A very short background so you know a bit about me. i consider myself a submissive masochist. Definately not a slave. i was in an M/s relationship for about 5 years and while much of what i experienced was positive, much was not. i do understand the dynamics involved in a D/s relationship,for example, the importance of obedience, trust, honesty, respect, being cautious, getting to know each other, taking things slow, communicating often and openly and generally once you sign up, you accept the terms you sign up for! That all being said, it's been 2 and a half years since i was released and i have been exploring my possibilities through various forums. i have had exchanges though email with several doms each lasting i would say anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months. They generally appear at first to be of good quality and character and the exchanges are positive with a lot of "learning each other". i make it a point that if i meet someone and i just know extinctively things are never going to progress for one reason or another, i always tell that person up front because i believe everyone deserves courtesy. The doms who have felt the same towards me have not afforded me this same courtesy though! i don't expect everyone i meet to be a match for me, or even attracted to me, but am i deluding myself to think that a simple - "Look, we've talked a while now and i don't think that we are really right for each other." is in order?? Is this more then a submissive should expect? (really rhetorical as i think i should have every right to expect it). The crux of it comes down to this. After speaking to these doms they generally get more comfortable explaining to me what their "expectations" will be within a relationship, which i think is wonderful, that needs to happen eventually and i welcome it! But when they hit upon requests that are limits for me i tell them i cannot comply with their particular request. This has happened three times and each time there was no discussion, no compromise, nothing but them disappearing without even a goodbye. You may be thinking "is she denying ordinary requests so these doms just fluff her off as a "player" whose not serious" - i sure hope not and i will let you be the judge of that. Here are 3 requests that i simply could not abide by if i got into a D/s relationship. No 1 - wanted to cover me in my own shit after i shit in a diaper No 2 - wanted to place a device on my eyes to force them open so he could ejaculate into my open eyes No 3 - wanted me always naked when with him alone which included when i had my period, this meant no panties, no pads, no tampons - i asked how this would work - his reply was i would be allowed to sit on towels but basically left to bleed all over the place. i take responsibility for no 1 as i never discussed scat as a limit - i simply find it so repulsive that it just never occured to me i had to mention that i did not like it. i know better now. The other two i don't know what to think. i do have an idea of what is happening though and let me know if you are in agreement or not. Many people "claim" to be looking for a meaningful D/s relatiosnhip but all they really want is a sucker to satisfy some particular fetish they want indulged. i would think anyone looking to connect with another would be more interested in how they felt about the other, the chemisry, the compatibility on a larger scale, then with one particular, quite odd in my estimation (hope i don't sound judgemental here) fetish. So is this a fetish vs relationship issue? Isn't it so much easier just to be upfront and honest with others then be like a "wolf in sheeps clothing" and lie and decieve others? It is getting to the point that when someone makes contact with me, i am not as open with them as i used to be. i suppose part of it is, why bother they are going to disappear anyway, yet another part of me hopes i have hit upon a person of some quality, character, depth, and value. The real sad point of this whole thing is that many of the requests (excluding scat sorry but thats a REAL hard limit for me) if the dom had taken the time to get to know me and we formed a bond - he might have gotten me to change my mind. Is it realistic to lay it all out upfront and expect a sub to agree or not agree immediately? i think this kind of attitude stinks personally. i don't think just because one labels themselves "dom" "master" "his royal higness" i don't care what label they give themselves but that doesn't give them the right to exploit, trample, or otherwise disrespect submissives. No 2 btw wanted to know all my deep dark fantasies - after knowing me 1 week?? Whats wrong with that picture?? i hope i don't go too sour on my quest but the odds are't looking too good - i really would like to find a genuine person one day to share with. Hope i made a modicum of sense :-) velvetears
