quote: ORIGINAL: CreatfreeAccount No bent feelings here. People use terms they choose to use. I am not being offensive. If you can't handle a word then quit reading. Hmm, I don't recall saying you were offensive, nor that I couldn't handle it. In fact, I answered your question earlier in the thread (although, at the time you were arguing with others, so you might have missed it). It was an honest question about your particular way of repeatedly phrasing things. But way to bite my head off for asking.

You seemed like you were not too happy with a word.

It would depend completely on the specific need or if it was a need or a want. If it is a want, probably not. If it was a need, then that may be compromise time, time for him to step up or time to end it. Depends. Thanks.

No, I asked if there was some conotation you were putting on the word the rest of us weren't privy to. And if there was, that it might be a good idea to share it so we could better understand the question. And I noted that it appeared to be a sticking point in this thread. A single word can derail a perfectly good question. It can cloud the answers, and it can take on different meanings for different people (in this case 'servicing' means different things to different folks in different relationships). If you're not getting the answers you'd hoped for, sometimes it's a good idea to try rephrasing to clarify instead of repeating the same thing over and over.

Your clarification: Do dominants submit to requests?

quote: ORIGINAL: CreatfreeAccount Do Dominants ever submit to a sub's request to do something specific to the sub that the sub likes? If so, is the dominant being submissive when acting out the sub's fantasy for the sub? If yes, does that mean the sub has some type of control within the sub/dom relationship? Thanks to everyone who were kind enough to contribute. Your responses were appreciated. Thank you again.

It's a lucky coincidence for him that his needs coincide with my own so well. It's what makes us compatible. Dead on the nail!!! Total agreement with this one!!!

WhiplashSmile -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 1:47:47 PM)
How to best illustrate this... Let's say there's Dom/me which has a big thing for whips. Let's say there's sub which has a big thing for being tickled senseless with feathers. If the Dom only whips the sub, and never tickles the sub with feathers. It's a matter of the sub finding somebody Dom enough to do so. If you are Dom enough to whip ass, why not be Dom enough to tickle as well.. You can still tickle and be in complete control, you know. A Dom which wants to maintain control will tickle the sub, else they are at risk of loosing all control, if the sub unsubmits to the relationship. A very general illustration to think about...

heartfeltsub -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 1:51:35 PM)
It seems to me, that this OP has a definite point that he is trying to make, and in my opinion, the point that he seems to be trying to get agreement on is that if a Dominant ever does what a submissive requests then the authority has shifted in the relationship and the Dominant has become nothing more than a Service Top, serving the whims of the submissive. Multiple people have responded with the fact that service has nothing to do with who hold the authority in the relationship and that a relationship is about both peoples' needs being met. As a submissive i have a need to submit, to give authority to another, is a Dominant any less of a Dominant by allowing my need to submit to be met in my submitting to Him? Has He become a Service Top by allowing me to submit to Him at all because that is fulfilling my need to submit? Because by doing so, He is fulfilling (to use the OP's word serving) my need to submit. As multiple people have said, a Dominant is serving His or Her own need in fulfilling the request or need of the submissive and if said request does not serve the need of the Dominant, is doesn't get fulfilled. Although i am not owned, i would never even think about telling the Dominant that i play with what kind of scene i want and exactly how i want Him to do it. That would in fact have me in the place of authority or calling the shots. But when He specifically asks what i would like Him to do to me, i answer but without any specifics, leaving the authority in His hands. Dominance and submissive is about the transfer of authority and that authority did not leave Him and come to me just because He asked me what kind of scene i might like on a particular occasion. His intent was to try to do something nice for me because He WANTED to. heartfelt

Thank you for gracing us with your witty insightful intelligence and delusions of adequaqcy but this OP thinks you need to release your bowels and crawl back when you feel better.

RumpusParable -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 1:56:16 PM)
Indeed, I don't know why people are playing along. The OP's intentions and false-and-mocking act of politeness have been obvious from page one.

I wasn't so much playing along as interested in whether or not the OP would serve a submissive. Having asked twice and ignored, I lost interest.

WhiplashSmile: I agree, it's a matter of finding someone compatible. CreatefreeAccount: I noticed you're a Switch couple. How do you see the answer to your own question? By that I mean, do you have a philosophy about when it is okay or not for a Dominant to serve a submissive? I am simply curious, and just asking. - Susan

CreatfreeAccount -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 2:06:38 PM)
Have something to contribute to the topic? Then post it. I may end up thanking you too, (as I did the other polite responders). Not my problem you can't see sincerity even if it slaps you dead in the face.

ownedgirlie -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 2:08:07 PM)
Susan he/she already said he does not feel there is a right or wrong (hence "okay" or not "okay"). My question was more directly whether he/she would serve the submissive.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

But like I said before when a sub reguests the dom do her in a certain manner and the dom does, the dom is servicing her request. So, doms do sometimes service a sub and a sub's needs.

SusanofO -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 2:17:00 PM)
Well, whatever works. If they're happy, who can argue with success? I don't think it would make him any less "Domly" to go along with a request, if there is some question about that, IMO. But if they are debating it, or can't decide or something, I think it'sthe Dominant's desires that take precedence, due to the nature of the relationship. They hopefully have discussed things like "limits" between them, etc. before they agreed to embark on a D/s relationship to begin with. But if not, there's no time like the present, I guess. - Susan

domiguy -> RE: Dominants submit to requests? (2/27/2007 2:17:38 PM)
I think it is improtant for the sub to be able to key in on the Dom/dommes interests and be able to read his/her mood and thoughts....For instance if I was a sub male I might suggest to my Domme that maybe we could go out and get somethingto eat....No matter what time it is you can bank on it that she will probably agree and this way I could get something to eat and my domme would be pleased as well. Easy peeeezy!!!!
