ORIGINAL: LadyLegs I think it is rather insulting to suggest that sex is the only basis of the female dominance, just as it would be to suggest the only power you have is sexual. Just because you don't see Domme as attractive as other than sexual objects does not mean that submissive men don't see us in a different way And what proportion of submissive men do you suppose see you an unerotic objects? Or even as human? Of course there are many men lacking the imagination or depth to see any woman as more, not a characteristic exclusive to any orientation. (to wit... the "dom"s that want to submit to us) How most submissive men view me does not determine what I am, nor does it determine the source of my power with those I select as friends and playmates. And "dom" who wants to submit to a woman is a switch-let's be clear on that one. Someone of a Dominant charachter tends to only get off on dominating. As far as the source of your power? It belongs to the men, and they can take it back any time they choose to. So your power is only your own, for yourself. Anything else is another person *humoring you* to get something they want. Of course, how people percieve you does not define you. It DOES define who you will attract. Rrafe you saying that suprises me because it's not true and it smells like everyone fits a formula, which I know you know that they don't. There are plenty of Dom/mes that have some masochistic tendencies that are not switches and still have Dominant character. Whether something is sexual or not is relative. As a submissive, if I scene/play with someone, even if it is not sexual to them at all or does not involve intercourse or orgasm, it is still very much sexual to me, always. It is not just the acts, in fact many of them are not erotic or enjoyable to me, but the service that I view as sexual. One side's viewpoint of sexuality doesn't define the other.
