ORIGINAL: fillepink How bad is cursing by a submissive? Might my Dom (should i ever find one) allow it, all things considered? Has anyone else faced this and learnt to stop cursing? How did you do it? As others have already said, cursing is in the eye of the beholder. Some Doms allow it, others are ok with it in moderation, and some don't allow it. You are by no means doomed to Domlessness if you have a potty mouth, but it does limit the selection to some extent. The key to stopping is first (a) truly wanting to and then (b) being aware of it when you do. If a prospective Dom isn't going to allow you your usual colorful language, he's probably going to be willing to help you stop. In practice, swearing usually comes out when a conversation has turned from basic chit chat to a topic you have some feelings about. The carefully considered words become a stream of consciousness, and the emotional punctuation of profanity kicks in. The Dom can interrupt this stream of invective and require you to say whatever it is you were trying to say, but without swearing. By stopping you and requiring you to restate your point properly, your awareness grows pretty quickly. When necessary, mild negative reinforcement (aka punishments) can be administered "in the moment" to help you focus on your task. Have a profanity free day! Rex
