ORIGINAL: littlesarbonn What's funny about your story is that I've probably written quite a few of those over the years, and I keep being told by others that it's unrealistic and that I should focus on something different. My latest novel which is being published is exactly of that nature. A man surrenders his entire life to a woman who takes complete control, training him to be exactly what she wants from him for the rest of his life. One of my previous novels was one I published a couple of years back, and at the time, my mistress was a pro dominant who was well known in the scene, and she used to get SO PISSED that potential clients would show up and ask for the treatment that was from my book, thinking that if her slave wrote the book, it had to be something she offered as part of her session lifestyle. But what no one really knew was that we pretty much did live the total control lifestyle. We stopped talking about it because the second you mentioned it, 10 people wanted to argue that it wasn't really total control as they created these strawman situations where total control wouldn't exist, as if we lived in their strawman world. What I'd probably be seeking until my dying day is the imprisonment/total dependence lifestyle, but unlike the jaded beliefs of others, it's not an overbearing situation that is one sided where the dominant is serving the submissive. People just make these generalizing complaints, based on fantasies that don't actually have much to do with how this lifestyle becomes reality. You’re right about this. That has, by far, been my biggest pet peeve of all time. I read post from people and I just shake my damn head. Nothing is worse then an opinionated person that has no real substance to back a rant. I have often said that female domination is complex and perhaps all sexual alternatives are, however IMO female domination remains the most misunderstood. I have always felt since the day I birthed Goddess Dianna Vesta, that not was Goddess an archetype but that it stemmed much deeper, more complex and that all the aspects- dark-light-nurturer- destroyer, etc. evolved somehow deep in the minds/spirits of certain people. Of course I also believe in reincarnation so I believe the age of your soul determines your path. Now I will no doubt get a few replies to this from people who have read Jung and the like, spilling rhetoric from text, however I have LIVED and SEEN, WITNESSED and played part of this dynamic for years. In fact I became a professional because of my fascination with this. I was a lesbian wiccan woman with a dominant personality. When I discovered BDSM, especially female domination a big light went off. I knew there was something far deeper and more complex then what met the eye. Damn I’m not going into all that. My point is that you can have A with B. What this means is that there must clearly be a compassionate and spiritual foundation established in order to enact these extremes. I’m not saying that it can’t be done, it most certainly can and be the hottest thing on the planet, however it is those glimpse of love, gestures of empathy that give us permission to dive into hell. A person that heads on that path without this and is successful at arriving there most likely has mental problems OR is a damn experienced player. Now keep in mind that I have done 1000’s of sessions & with VERY experienced players from all over the world, however it is rare to find a mental masochist that just throws themselves in hook, line and sinker without great consideration. When I interview people that have been in the scene long as or longer than I, I always ask them if they notice a difference between then and now. There are noticeable things that are better such as communication and acceptance, at least on the board scale. I don’t remember there being so much judgment as I witness today. I mean so many people are quick to jump and tell people how to feel, what to think and how to act. That’s just bullshit. In the past there was protocol and respect for people. There is nothing wrong with bridling an opinion long enough to make a fair assessment. Rather then standing up on soap boxes and spouting out negativities over things you know nothing about, why not open your mind and explore a bit? This doesn’t mean to analyze but to investigate. I see far too many of you slamming doors rather then supporting the needs of another human being. You know I don’t go around shoving my views about female supremacy everywhere because it’s MY SCENE and I also know that many people don’t really understand it. That’s cool. Even the women at my site will tell you that I don’t use it as a venue to ridicule. Some women have dominant male partners and I have even invited their partners to a social. My job is to support and to be there when they ask question and to allow them a safe venue to explore aspects of female domination. They may or may never take the plunge and that’s ok. So here you have a guy that actually has a pretty cool fantasy and he seems highly intelligent and articulate. If I had never done this before I might be curious or inclined to at least investigate. Maybe there is some way we can each benefit from this scene in a non-sexual romantic capacity. In my mind I’m thinking that this guy has being harboring this a very long time and it’s become MAYBE a tad obsessive, however as I read his post and get to know him I realize he’s quite sane. So we negotiate our scene and together we explore. What’s in for the top if he’s all helplessly bound? I think that you forget the mental aspect of power and control which is the core of what motivates us in the first place. Does it require some work and effort, sure it does. You’re either into it or not. That’s the really wonderful and intriguing thing about ALTERNATIVE sexuality is that is can stimulate on so many levels. So if one seeks fulfillment physically, sexually, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and YES even financially, then why not if they have a willing participate. I am a little amazed at the intolerance I’ve seen here. I’m also amazed at the lack of respect. Having a opinion is one thing. Oh damn I have too much work to do and this went WAYYYYY on and on! Lol- see what happens to me after too many cappuccinos?
