Doormats - Can we eliminate them? - 1/6/2007 10:29:42 AM

So, I was browsing profiles this morning (This is gonna be a great story!) and I noticed something. Very few subs are doormats, and very few Doms want a doormat.

Is the "I'm no doormat," and "I don't want a doormat" thing a cliche? Or is it a necessary disclaimer to prevent small area rugs from invading your home?

Has anyone met a doormat in BDSM, or wants to meet one?

Yours,

benji

If a sub is from the middle east and wears a turban and likes heroin, does that make them an "afghan"?

Who defines what a doormat is? It is kinda like defining "slave", most people have their own definition, and it is not going to be the same as mine.

I think it would be great to be a doormat, especially after a hard strenuous day at work..imagine the excellent massage you would get with people walking all over you

i think doomats are good. They welcome you when you enter the home. They clean your boots when needed. They add warmth and look nice.

Apologies to Spirited above..didnt see your post...oops...

Yes but look at all the things a doormat can do..stops draughts, use them under the wheels of the car when its stuck on ice, cleans your boots, says "welcome" to visitors, adds a touch of decoration to a hallway, soaks up spills and helps keep the house clean...

I like doormats... to walk all over, to clean the mud from my boots, to welcome visitors to my home with something pithy like 'Don't Tread on Me!', or 'Beware of Attack Gerbil!' A good doormat does its job well, without complaint and is respected for the service it provides.

Now- whose definition of 'slave' does that fit?

Ya know...doormats are looking pretty good, most all agree. Now I've got the slave robot up and running, I'll pop out, get a good doormat, sit back in my comfy chair in the library with a pint of Bishop's Tipple and relax..

Man, this is lonely...(sigh)...

I've met some really hairy men who feel they are inferior to me simply because I have a vagina. Does that count? Why would I want an inferior doormat? I want a really good doormat that will provide a soft surface for my cats to sit on while they watch the world outside the door.

I am proud to be my Master's doormat. I am proud to be anything he wants me to be at any given time. I enjoy when he puts his feet on me, whether to wipe them, rest them, or have them cleaned with my mouth.

Master says I'm only a doormat when I'm laying at the doorway, though. Otherwise, I'm a foot rest or any other component he wishes for.

Here's a great article on doormats:
http://www.humbledfemales.com/doormat.html

So often people have their own definition of a "doormat." It's always negative. I am an intelligent, thinking, feeling human being. I am whatever my Master wants at any given time. I obey him in all things. I surrender all my will and power to him. I guess that makes me a doormat. If so, I'm the happiest doormat around.

I think the term does something to people's egos, personally. I know my potential and capabilities, as does my Master. What anyone else thinks is secondary. People use the term doormat as though it's an insult, because they think someone who surrenders completely must not have a brain. Their ignorance shows, when such utilization of the word is displayed.

I wonder, when I say I am his toilet, why it is not so offensive. Or his bitch to fuck. Or his toy or object or property. "Objects" don't have brains (hey a doormat is an object) yet many a slave is proud to be her Master's object. I think we are inconsitent with our criticizms here....

Ever read jokes from ancient times? They tend not to be funny. It's worth thinking about why.

I don't know that anyone is critisizing doormats...I think we're simply have a bit of fun, that's all. As julia said, my definition of doormat is prolly not the same as yours.

Finally! An intelligent post!

Not even the OP took this topic seriously....

Actually, I really like that response.

I see doormats on this website all the time. They say... "I will do anything and have no limits." It's amazing that they have created doormats that will say such things. I wonder what they say when they are thrown in the the incinerator, or cut up and thrown in the trash.

Actually, many of the older jokes I have read I do find funny. Not sure if we're reading the same ones - do you have a few examples?
