The only way you're going to get the pronunciation dom-MAY is to spell it "Dommé"... not seen that one yet.

And no, I don't support it at all. I am fond of domina and femmedom though.

hmmm how about differentiating submissives? Sub.. Subbe?

But surely any twue sub/be is whatever damn gender they are told to be?

boy oh boy did i need these laughs tonight!!! thank you...& i await my gender assignment....

Glad I made someone smile, on the subject of your gender (re)assignment, arrange an appointment with your dominant partner to confirm their willingness to make you participate in this programme :)

thank you for the direction...the earliest appointment i could get was a week from next Friday...seems all his other sub/bes got in before i did...drat!!

Always thought it was unnatural to say =\ Then again i don't like using "dom" either.

The idea that two words could be corrupted into a single one doesn't surprise me. I can think of at least two other instances in history where such a corruption occured. England is the first one. It started out as Angle land = land of the angles(their lands were originally just a small sliver of what we know as England today. The other is the word Sheriff. It derived from the words Shire Reeve. A shire was a group of villages under the control of one lord and the Reeve was the man who made sure that the accounts were balanced (the crops were tallied up), and in some cases presided over the hallmoot (the manoral court system) so that his lord could concentrate on more important matters pretaning to the running of his manoral lands. Words have also come into being out of thin air as well. Issac Asimov for example coined the term Robotics in his robot stories of the 1930's (while thinking that he'd read the word somewhere at the time) and the term Security blanket came into being because of Charles Shultz's well known comic strip Peanut's.
