I can't help you with the question directed to femsubs, but I can speak to your other one. Domination comes in all flavors. In our circle, you've seen only the loving relationships because that is what we have in our chapter of Club FEm. Not all are that way. Some can appear very destructive to the outsider, with the Domme apparently (and maybe in reality) disrespecting the sub and using him without regard to his needs or feelings. While that seems alien to us, it can be something someone else needs or craves. One of the things we get to do in BDSM is accept other's way of doing things. Someone who feels the need to be locked in the closet and ignored for a period of time may feel very loved by that activity, while it might leave you shaking your head, asking what is wrong with that person. In return, that person might wonder why you DON'T enjoy the closet, but instead prefer to render personal service. We don't have to understand the motivations. As long as people remain in the bounds of Safe, Sane and Consensual, their kink is ok. Did you enjoy meeting Lady Ahyla the other day? Awesome woman isn't she! Did you realize one of her main fetishes is scat? I may say eww to that fetish, but I highly respect and admire Lady Ahyla. I accept her fetish, even though I'd never be involved in. Just because it isn't my thing, or is something I consider dirty, doesn't make it wrong. Because we're all a little warped in the mind of the vanilla people of the world, we tolerate each others kinks and ways of doing things. This includes things that seem cruel or mean. We are not able to judge the relationship from the outside. Some Dominants want to be serviced, including sexual fulfillment; some get their pleasure from reducing a submissive to a quivering ball of pain. Some want to control every aspect of the sub's life and yet others want the sub to totally take care of them and see to the Dominant's every need. There are Dominants who get their charge from humiliating men, hurting them and degrading them. Others like the tease, deny and orgasm control route. None of those are going to be a loving relationship unless both parties wish it. You can have a D/s relationship with just friendship or adoration from his side as the foundation. While those would never satisfy me (or you I think) they work wonderfully for some people. Over the next few days spike, I'd like you to read The Difference between BDSM and Abuse and Stages in the Development of Erotic Power Exchange. Also, scan the Celebrate Male Submission FAQ and see what it has to offer. I think those might help you settle some questions in your mind and bring new ones to the forefront.
