ORIGINAL: Tentayne forgive me if I'm out of line, but it seems to me that FAR too much generalisation is going on here. The original post was about "slaves"... then it turned to "subs"...then "bottoms". I am new here and to the bdsm lifestyle... and trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can. It would be really nice if I could find a thread that doesn't degenerate into something it wasn't meant to be. Yes, please tell us how to run a message board, we really don't have clue. If things get any worse and degenerate into massive confusion, blurring the lines between sub and slave, service and exploitation, sex and message, or pony play and bestiality......please immediately report such misdirected ramblings to the moderators. God knows its completely intolerable. You really shouldn't have to put up with it. quote:
ORIGINAL: Tentayne I knew it would be misinterpreted. Get a grip and perhaps TRY to understand what I was trying to say. Everyone gets so defensive without really knowing or even attempting to understand others. It's really sad. quote:
Original: joyinslavery I'd say he pretty much nailed it. My word! I have to ask,at this point, cloudboy and joyinslavery,who peed in your wheaties? You are both being very unkind! cloudboy, I am aware that you have a relationship (still?) with a part time Mistress with the approval of your wife. joyinslavery, not hearing to the contrary, I will assume that you are still looking. Few boys post from the male sub POV. Why is that? Because there aren't too many in a relationship? Because the ones who are see no need to further particpate? I often wonder. What I do see, over and over, on these boards, as well as on profile after profile, and in email after email, is that it is not outrageous to guesstimate 90% of the boys have not grown into the ability to even comprehend a TPE relationship. Hell bells, there's another thread right now about "How come nobody wants me?" I didn't see cloudboy on that one at all, and I did see a rather cheeky and useless non-productive response from you, joyinsalvery. How disappointing that the boys will not share and help each other. hmmmmmmmmmm.... This subject comes up over and over and if people don't share their personal experiences and growth, how can others begin to figure out how and where they might or might not fit in ? Personally, I don't think the 90% statistic is out of line. There might be 10 boys out of 100 who can follow instructions and show the right attitude and commitment for a TPE. Which, btw, is the relationship basis, to some degree or another, that all of the Ladies on the message boards seek. Boys complain about the 100 to 1 ratio all the time, but I noted Myself, that I don't believe it. Because I don't even count most of the boys as having their heads in the right place. Tentayne, I applaud you for trying to learn. The reason bottoms are coming up is because many boys label themselves as "slave" or even "submissive", but they are really kinky bottoms looking for dominance in the bedroom and/or on the weekends. It takes time to grow into this lifestyle, and people make their place in many different ways and at many different levels. It is important to try to understand where you are and then where you want to be and work from there. The OP originally began with a question about why so many slaves did not understand service. A good reply was to change that from "slaves" to "men". It is easy to label oneself. It is not so easy to follow it through and live it. Good luck, and welcome to the boards. *edited for tags
