one of the more disturbing things i've found during my years associated with bdsm has been the lack of tolerance for what others are into, if it doesn't coincide with what we think of as (ycch, here comes the word) 'true' submission or dominance. for a group of people who wish for many of the vanillas to tolerate WIITWD, i'm always astounded that many of these same people have no tolerance for those who might just be in it for the kinky sex...most of those profiles make it evident that the person is a player...take the time to read it...or are you the only person who gets to seek for what you want? my two minutes are up, sting Sting, my private comments to the one now sans bucket had nothing to do with a particular kink or BDSM practice. My problem is with some attitudes. What they had to do with (which were in context at the time and now cause me to freakin have to explain myself ~rolls her eyes and grins~) were mitigated by the fact that I've felt lately that there's an attitude of "hey, kink sounds cool, I should try this." Now, that in and of itself is not a problem. What I find problematic is this idea that people show up here, drop an intro that basically says "Ok, this looks (insert adjective here) and I'd like to try it. I'm new, so please spoon feed me all the basics so I can go find a Dom/me or sub and be 'lifestyle'. I don't mind helping someone out. What I do mind is being expected to be the Albert Schweizer of kink and lay out the compendeum here. What I don't think people who are new realize is, this isn't easy. This isn't something that I came to and immediately found a partner and the situation of my dreams. There have been, and remain sacrifices that I make because I'm not wired for vanilla. I literally live 2 lives. Was I afraid to go seek out my local scene? You freakin bet! But, I did it. I didn't stand around with a sign around my neck saying "I"m new, will bottom for food." I took a chance, and trusted that the thoughts and feelings I had were best addressed in a realm other than the one (vanilla) I was trying to operate in. This isn't for everyone. BDSM isn't a singles bar. And my frustration is manifested from the fact that I find it inherently disrespected by those who treat this as a place to come for an easy lay. Lily
