I don't think D/s can be broken down into any number of set levels, there are so many different things involved and where a relationship is really does come down to what works for the people involved. quote:
ORIGINAL: AquaticSub A) he wanted to have, or experiment with having, a 24/7 lifestyle and you didn't If he was adamant, I don't think that would work for me - If I wasn't up for 24/7, I wouldn't be able to give everything, so whether we tried or didn’t, neither partner would really be happy. I suppose it would depend on how much he wanted it; if it was appropriate we could always come to a compromise - eg.24/7 at weekends, but it would also depend on how much I didn’t want it. quote:
ORIGINAL: AquaticSub B) you wanted to have/experiment with having a 24//7 lifestyle and he didn't? I can understand that, but then if I really wanted to experiment with full TPE 24/7, I wouldn’t be getting what I wanted out of a relationship where that wasn’t happening. I expect I’d be more comfortable with this than with the first option though. If by 24/7, we mean total control, needing to ask permission to do small simple things, there is no way it would work with me anyway (might well work for some subs though). If on the other hand, if we mean total ownership emotionally, and deferring when called on, that is something entirely different, while the first example might involve a high level of control, the second might actually be a more sincere ownership as it definitely comes from the heart, and the first may or may not… which is where it starts to get too complicated to define a number of set levels!
