ORIGINAL: LadyHugs Dear AquaticSub, Ladies and Gentlemen; As to your comments, in which you did not considered dominants getting unwanted/unsolicited submission, I can only say from my personal experiences, I felt like I was some bait for a buzzard. I would be sitting and they be standing or circle me like I was prey. This would happen often right after a scene. I do realize some are extremely eager and well meaning and some see the opportunity to be 'done' like I was a service TOP. Having lost my figure, I'm aged; it has nipped a lot of that buzzard behavior--unless its something else that draws them to me, then I enjoy those who approach me, as I do enjoy meeting new individuals. These days, those who do come to me just want to meet me. I am eager to meet them as well. I will also say, that I am rather poor at remembering names. I do meet a lot of people and when you may have 20 Davids, 18 Edwards, etc., its going to take me a bit of constant interaction to get the name right. Name tags do help! Color codes help! -- But, not everybody and or organization does that. But, I will say--a distinctive name, such as "Aqua" would help as it is unique. I've also adapted to the current climate in the BDSM community, as to make my introductions and asking how someone wishes to be addressed. It is my experience, that people who try to 'get it right' as to address one another in their preferred title, are greeted with patience and gentle help in getting accustom to being addressed as they so choose. I also practice patience with others in getting my name close to right. What is important though, is that the majority of those you (in general) interact with; want to never devalue and or degrade and or to humiliate or make light of one another. Respectfully submitted for consideration, Lady Hugs I really feel silly for not thinking about it, but it just never occured to me. Not that I was thinking dominants wouldn't be getting unwanted attention. It just never really hit me, if you understand what I mean. I do believe you are right though. As long as one is honest in their intentions not to offend, then really no harm as been committed. As a general rule anyway. I simply call people by their name until they ask me to do otherwise. However, if I can not remember it, then I normally apologize, ask for forgiveness and ask to have it repeated to me again.
