I see this has become more of a debate on my intent when deciding to ask such a question. Yes, my spark of interest was stronger because it was written by a sub. Yes, I am young in every sense of the word. My age doesnt at all affect my intuition. Regrettably, I respectfully disagree with this statment that your age doesn't affect your intuition. That does not mean it has a negative affect necessarily, but it does affect it in the same respect my age affects my perspective. You can't deny the fact that you ARE young. Unless you came up in a household that 'trained' you, you, like many of us who were new at one time, have a great deal of opportunity to grow here. By negating your novice standpoint would be unfortunate for you and probably make the educational perspective a longer road for you. I'm sorry to see you get defensive here, I was actually offering you some means of community support. quote:
The question may be in fact one of little interest to some of you who have respnded by I still stand by my words on this topic. Never have I come out and given an exact position on it because I do not have one. That is why the question was asked. I want to know what do the rest of think on the issue. My feelings on the question are that it's unrealistic, and probably coming from 'cyber-kinksters' mostly. For those of us who function in BDSM in real time, there isn't a whole lot of this kind of behavior, submissives being asked to find a 'sister' out there. It's hard enough to find someone compatible in D/s, that most of us realize that the poly thing, though it does happen and can be successful, on a full time basis is somewhat rarer. So, my feelings are you are dealing with people who are caught in the fantasy more than anything else. quote:
I ask that my age never be a factor because it is a sensitive issue based on the stereotypes that have been branded in the minds of older dominants concerning male DOMs of my age. I dont think the question was at all strange. It was a legitimate one that I felt needed to be asked but it turns out that there is a debate starting where I am placed on the oppposite side of the majority when all I asked was a simple question. What are your feeling on it. Well, you can ask all you want, but your age is going to be a factor. At 19, I commend you for having the insight and the self awareness to identify your role in Kink; however, it will be an issue, particularly until you are 21. If you feel persecuted by older Doms, then perhaps you need to look at how you are presenting yourself. I would, again, invite you to educate yourself, meet people who are actually practicing real time locally, and be open to learning. Very few Doms (and subs for that matter) show up completely and totally user friendly in the scene. We learn from each other; that's the nice thing about community. Lily
