Status: offline 		Reason im asking is im a switch but...Domm most of the time. I can deal out pain but if im subbie it really scares the hell out of me. Like quivering in fear wanting to or actually crying my eyes out. I cannot stand anything to do with it besdies a little spank during intercourse or a bite during cannot be in between must be during.

So again anyone else have a fear in relation to this *lifestyle?

questions that I have ever seen around here.
Thank you for making many of us think.

Things that intimidate me? Absolutely. Flesh hook suspension, punching scenes, intentional bone breaking (fingers and toes not big bones).

No, I take that back. I'm afraid of ending my relationship with Sir and never having the desire to submit to anyone else - and thereby losing out on all of the joy and pleasure that submission brings to my life.

Status: offline 		I can handle physical pain (and I've had a bit of intense physical pain in a D/s relationship, so I know this, to an extent, anyway).

I am not particularly into: Cutting or "intense" knife-play, "gun-play", fire-play, breath-play, scat, kicking or trampling. Even intense face-slapping strikes me as a bit brutal, and some things simply strike me as stupid to do (but that's just me, to each their own). 

*Over-the-top (to me) emotional pain is another matter. This is one reason I am not a fan of what is known as the "Minf_k" as a "kink", especially a hard-core, emotional one.

It "works" for some people (apparently, although I have my doubts about this, actually), I just know that personally, I find it really difficult to go there, and it's pretty much a "hard limit" for me for that reason.

Status: offline 		I'll add on to my list of fear yes  attitudes can be scary when im submissive and a dome just automaticly romps into the the rum telling me i am not right and that i must do things this way the pysicaly forcing me to a certin pose stance or oterh . That attitude really scares me and ive come up agaisnt it alot so that is why i stay dominant becasue then i can contend with those pople that act out so agressivly when its not needed.

Status: offline 		In reference to what Alloces, stated - this could be part of the reason I am not "into" hard-core Mind_ucks as a "kink". In fact, I know it is - my overall impression is, that either or both people claim at its outset, to know what they are getting into, and-or what they are doing, when it's not really true (and I can't understand how they can really claim it if they've never been in that particular, exact, situation anyway).

Then, when something inevitably goes awry, it's always the other person's fault, and ill-feeling seems to abound all around. I am not saying it can't possibly work, I've just never seen it work very well.

I obviously am not a fan of Mind_cuks generally, so I am definitely predjudiced, it was nothing against you personally, in my comments.

Status: offline 		Ever heard the saying "Your either scared or stupid." Someone who actually has no fear, i believe is really ignorant. Or the just dont give a shit about anything.

For me:
I fear taking something to far. I am pushy by nature.  I push limits, I push past limits, and im pretty good at it so far. But what if.....just what if  i misjudge and push to far? Sure you can write this off with safewords.  But i dont use safewords, because they are either over or under used and in my current situation i think they would be underused at fear of failing me.

Or for instance say with suffocation, i take it to far and  dont let her breath soon enough....bad things can happen then. But if you dont take it far enough it loses its effect.

I think when you  push a sub to the edge with kinks and you  hit that thin line between not enough and to much i think you always  have the fear in the back of your mind that you may go to far over that line instead of the utopia of riding it. And while safewords  are suppose to be a safety to keep you from going over that line, they are flawed. They depend to much on someone  muttering them that is worried about disappointing and often so far in subspace... you have to wonder if they are still in touch with reality at all.

This is were self confidence plays a large role.. can you take her to that edge without sending her to the hospital?

EDIT: When you play with fire, you should always fear getting burned.

That's not a fear, that's you being self-serving, implying that you are experienced, safe and trustworthy, therefore desriable.

Status: offline 		Oh well yes, there is a quite a lot that I fear. For me too it's much more the emotional than the physical. I guess what I fear most is to expose my vulnerabilities and then have them used against me, either to manipulate or hurt me. I guess that's one reason I don't like to feel rushed, pushed or pressured to open up before I know someone well. It really sets up a panic in me.

I also really fear losing my identity in someone else. For me I think that is a big part of my fear of a D/s relationship. (on the s side) My problem I guess, but still it's something I fear. From years of being the forgotten partner I guess.

I also fear being judged. As far out as some sexual/BDSM interests/activites are I still fear being judged for mine.
