ORIGINAL: Ethicaldom Clarification time, 'old guard' is NOT about age, it is about experience and beliefs.It is about having respect for others in this life, both Doms and Subs. We are not judging others lifestyle, that is between the two (or more) people involved. What we are referring to are the Doms and Masters on here that feel that Subs and Slaves are nothing more than receptacles for there urges or a warm body to be abused. Certainly there are Subs that crave that type of relationship and that is their right. But I keep hearing over and over again from Subs how instead of finding a Dom that they can build a relationship with they find fakes or self serving liars. Many leaving the site in disgust. A D/S relationship has to be based on trust and respect, if a Dom is dishonest from the start he isn't serious but just trying to 'play' someone who deserves better. As for fireproof clothing, I don't need any, I survived Viet Nam, I can survive this! Ethicaldom Being submissive does not mean that we get a break from having to think for ourselves unfortunately. It does not mean that we check our brains at the door when someone claims to be a "dom". We do not get a pass on accepting responsibility for making bad relationship choices. If submissives on this site do not take steps to protect themselves against those who would use them and abuse them, well there are plenty of warnings about such abusers in this very forum. I have rarely seen general acceptance of the view that we as submissives should blindly trust strangers over the internet Submissives are known to hurt the dominant people on this site too. To feed them bullshit stories, bilk them for cash, and the like. It is just as wrong, and doms are just as forewarned. I do not know what spurred this rant here, but it is slightly misplaced, because most of the people that would act as you describe are not posting on this forum that I have seen... although I could be wrong about that... When you invent the magic failsafe to protect helpless submissives from their own bad judgment, please share it with me, because I have shown some bad judgment of my own. There is no policing the internet... and to be honest, I do not want it policed personally, I prefer freedom I suppose.
