ORIGINAL: MCandNuri A hard line, "NO YOU CANNOT TALK TO ANY OTHER..." is pretty unhealthy, in my opinion. Just because I talk to another top/Dom/Domme/whatever, does not mean I want to screw them. The implication that I would, I think, would be pretty insulting to me and quite hurtful. Hello A/all, I completely agree with this sentiment. I feel that statements such as this are the result of the insecurities of the person who makes them. I have been with several women who tried to be this way towards me. It always struck me as analogous to children pulling the covers over their heads to hide from the monsters underneath. In this case, the monster of S/somebody who will sweep my partner off her feet. If she wants to be with me, she will do what needs to be done to be with me. If she doesnt, I let her know up front that I will help her pack. The person I am currently seeing gets emails from many Dominants on here. In a few cases, these are regular (or sometime) posters on the message boards. Some small percentage of these are ones looking to try to hook up with her. I personally find it amusing, although she sometimes feels upset by them. In one case, I politely asked a more persistant cyber-stalking Dominant to cease and desist contacting her, indicating that she and I had both asked him to stop. The response I got back was argumentative, abrasive, and haughty. He spent some time demanding I answer his questions as to why I was contacting him. Two thoughts came to my mind: "He is not the Boss of me" and "Oh, another legend in his own mind." So I looked over the note I had sent, realized it was fairly clearly written, had no egregious spelling errors, and politely stated what she and I wanted him to do. In thinking about it, his response reminded me of the little kid on the playground that screams and rants and intrudes on games where they are not wanted, largely because any feedback from other people is better than no feedback. So I did not bother to respond to him. He has not contacted her since. I guess my point is that I am secure enough in myself, and secure enough in knowing her feelings for me, to not feel a need to lock her up in a heart shaped box to prevent her from interacting with other people. But that is just me and I could be wrong. Sinergy
