Dear mogigo, Ladies and Gentlemen; You wrote; quote:
ORIGINAL: mogigo Excerpt.... This is truly the first time I have ever even felt comfortable enough to discuss my issues. I come from a vanilla world with vanilla people and in my world I am a joke for feeling the way I do. 3 days ago I thought BDSM was a branch of prostitution, I could never have imagined in my world that there were people who actually found submissive men attractive, I thought the only women who addressed submissive men's needs were only doing so for money, then I came here because someone who had been a dominant for a long time suggested that there really was women who find this type of man attractive, I was extremely sceptical. But what do you know, I actually realized that there are women out there who like me. But there are a great many people who seem to dismiss my feelings as bogus or something, They seem to tell me to go back to my vanilla world and suffer through life with no connections to women, all for the massive crime of being new. After a few days of reading through BDSM sites I actually started to believe there was a place for me, but the over-whelming majority think I should get lost, I'm too immature, I'm disrespectful?, I don't belong. What is it with this lifestyle, I think that the majority of people are threatened by new people, "You could never understand how great I am, so get lost before you make me feel less great". I'm starting to think that the subs are the strong ones and the doms need the constant affirmation. I've had some wonderful replies that make me feel like my feelings are justified but I hate to say it, the majority make me feel like I should run and never look back. I'm used to keeping my feelings to myself, but I feel like I'm being judged more here than I have ever felt in my life, maybe these are the people who don't really understand what a submissive is. I have no doubt who I am, why do you wan't me to change my mind? Several thoughts come to my mind's eye lad. That is, you are new in the discovery of the lifestyle. It is scary to find out you aren't so odd after all but, the pool you're swimming in per se, the community at large, is filled with people who are hard to fit or match with. Like a person who is thrust into a new land, the language of "BDSM" and or M/s and or D/s is new to you. Just be patient--especially with yourself and your journey. I am of the belief when you started into hockey, you made a lot of self discoveries as well as earned your skill and knowledge in pieces and now you have a comfort level in playing, talking, teaching and or coaching 'hockey.' I am of the belief, that you are able to assemble a proper team and play a decent match/game. This would help you in dealing with this realm of BDSM. Use what you know, that has served you so well in all you do these past 14 years and move on with a plan. Respectfully submitted for consideration, Lady Hugs
