(Note: Generic "you" used in this post) Honestly, the behavior and mindset you describe her having sounds to me like a vanilla female pitching a fit because someone she's not dating dates others. "Waaaah, they aren't mine it's not fair to me that they are with others!!!" Yes, I know this is harsh and usually I try to be more polite in my wording but the silliness of this emotional response just struck me as too foolish to not comment on strongly. No, I don't think people who are free and willing to do so playing with each other makes it harder for those not free or not willing to find someone they connect with in the way they want. It's the responsibility of each individual to look for their partners, she's *choosing* to limit herself and be upset that they are spending time with others. Vanilla life or BDSM interactions, people seeing others when they haven't agreed to be with only you is not detrimental to you. Not getting in there and meeting them and seeing if there is a connection is always an option, take it or not. ETA so you know where I'm coming from: I am an extreme introvert by nature, but I get out there and meet and chat and bottom for those I feel a connection with when the opportunity presents itself. If I am going to make a connection, I feel I need to push past my quiet separateness and give people the chance to know me some. I can't complain if I sat there and didn't ask a top to beat me when I wanted them to, I can't complain if a sub intigued me and I avoided speaking to them all evening. I just follow basic courtesy rules and see what happens from there. If I sit, avoid, or otherwise don't make the effort whining that someone else did would be amazingly childish in my opinion.
