Don't worry if you are not normal. Normal is not all it's cracked up to be. There is no right way or wrong way. There is no one right way to be a good dom or right way to be a good submissive. What might make a good dom for one sub, might make a bad dom for another and vice versa. It is all about two people meshing like gears. We all have protrusions that push others away. Some protrusions we may have retool. Subs and bottoms should not think they have to accept every protrusion. Of course, it's nice if they try to accept that which they can without experiencing resentment. As a sub or bottom you have an absolute right to negotiate what is and what is not acceptable. You have a right to be loved and feel loved. If you are a female, you can find whatever you are looking for. The only thing that matters is the acceptance of your partner. Every good relationship is about compromise and flexibility. Dommes or Doms who insist it is their way or the highway are just narcisistic, selfish, and self-centered. Subs and bottoms have needs that ought to be met. Each person is different. Sub and bottoms should not feel bad expecting their Dommes and Doms to meet their needs and show a willing to compromise. Totally one-sided relationships where one side is uncompromising rarely succeed. Good Dommes and Doms know they need to keep their subs and bottoms happy or they won't have them long. The key is compromise. Just because you are sub or bottom does not mean you are the one who always has to compromise. On the other hand, there are some subs or bottoms who expect their Dommes or Doms to do all the compromising. The more both parties in a relationship are flexible and willing to compromise, the greater the chance that relationship has of succeeding.

i have always thought of worry as an inept and counterproductive use of the imagination.

Hmmm I personally refuse to live my life any way other than my way. If that makes me narcissistic, selfish, and self-centered, I'm ok with that. Your post seems to be saying a lot of nothing (compromise, but don't compromise too much & live like you want but not completely just like you want)- or a lot of proverbs like: Live like you want to live, don't be so rigid you can't breath, and don't submit to something just because you're the sub.

I wish I didn't have such a crush on you. Some people can get away with almost anything. They never have to compromise because they are beautiful, rich, talented or in high demand for whatever reason. Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Donald Trump, Madonna, drug dealers. Dommes and Doms can get away with a lot, and easily take advantage of a sub by convincing the sub they need to to this or that or they are not being a good sub. But yes, if you don't compromise, you are narcissistic, selfish, and self-centered. > Your post seems to be saying a lot of nothing (compromise, but don't compromise too much I wouldn't say that is nothing. I would say that is the key to every good relationship. This is fairly common knowledge, but because of the D/s dynamic some here would like to deny its applicability to doms and subs. > & live like you want but not completely just like you want) We all have room to improve. We all need to learn to accomodate others, and not just think about ourselves. Doms and Dommes who just think about themselves have a hard time keeping subs.

quote: ORIGINAL: WhipTheHip. If you are a female, you can find whatever you are looking for. *And male subs cannot expect to find what they are looking for?* That's what I hear. I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions that prove the rule. Dommes or Doms who insist it is their way or the highway are just narcisistic, selfish, and self-centered. quote: *What if I like his way better?* Does this question need an answer? *> I know a few Doms who will flat dismiss a sub for trying* *> to get her way all the time, and I can't say I blame them.* Neither can I. Isn't that exactly what I said? That was my whole point, that there needs to be give and take even between Dom and sub. Good relationships are a two-way street. Smart Doms and Dommes know this. The easiest way to falsify a statement made by another is to add the word "all" or "always" to their original statement. I really can't understand why so many people do this so often. Truth is nuanced. If you exaggerate, twist and distort what others say, of course, your restated version will be wrong.

I do hope your not saying I or anyone else that has posted to your thread have done this. We are only discussing what you typed. There is no reason to add words to your statements. They speak for themselves so to speak. I have not seen where anyone has done this to you.

Just becaue I refuse to compromise, just because I don't think I need to improve myself, just because I live my life the way I want, that mean I'm self-centered and blind to my own imperfections.

I am saying, we should all try our best to change things about ourselves for the benefit of our significant other. I think we all need to make some sacrafices. There needs to be give and take in every relationship. But hey, if you don't like my answer, you can always tie me up and whp the shit out of me till I agree with you. It is really unfair. No female should have that much power over any male. The image you post to this forum drives me crazy.

Greetings I debated along time about responding to this thread; trying to find the words that did not sound to egotistical or harsh. Much of what the OP has posted here I disagree with; but my outlook on my own slavery is different than some. The OP states that there is no right way or wrong way. I will agree with this. For myself, there is only Master’s way; whether it be right or wrong, matters not. In this house, it really is his way or the highway. And this was something that I was very aware of from the very beginning. ( Granted, Master is quite lenient with me still, but the more I learn, the more strict he becomes in his ways ) As a slave in this relationship, I gave up rights when I begged to become his. In exchange, I am instead given privileges that can be removed at any time he deems necessary; and for any reason. It is not the acceptance of my partner that is the only thing that matters. The only thing that matters in my slavery to him is that I be obedient, and pleasing. In all ways, and in all things. And as a side note; Master is in no way narcissistic, selfish or self-centered. He is one of the most generous people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I wish you well melissa

He probably is one of the most generous people you have ever had the privilege of knowing. Were this not the case, you probably wouldn't be his slave. If he just looked after his own interests, I doubt you would even be with him. You can be 100% obediant to a Master who really cares for you, but make no mistake, whether you realize or not he probably spends a lot of time thinking of your needs, wants and desires. Would you really be with him if your needs, wants and desires went for the most part unfullfilled?
