I've often been told that my writing style seems a bit stiff and sometimes condescending. I assure you, as a general matter of course that is not my intent. I also realize (or, just as correctly, realise) that sometimes the offense lay with the reader (meaning it's just the way they took it).
Hey Suz, maybe I should just steal those words and use them as a signature line on every post from now on (with proper credit of course).
i will, I'm a little surprized by your words on this thread. Kinda snotty compared to what I've come to expect from you. I realize that part of it was that you attempted to be subtle a few times and instead were ambiguous--this often happens on the internet--but then you followed with vitriol instead of responsibility. I think you usually do better than that, or are you hoping for some cyber Lave soap washing? ;-)
Concerning the original subject. Would a female submissive expect to pay a male dominant for his time or to help finance his dungeon? I certainly don't. In fact, male dominants are more likely to provide for the finnancial needs of their submissives. All for a bit of pleasure? So in this way there is a very clear gender difference regardless of who's on top. The guy still pays. Such is life, but not for everyone. The original poster was a man disheartenned by what seemed like all his dominant prospects wanting something from him other than him. It could just as easily have been a vanilla complaint.
Women will sometimes complain of being used as sex objects. Men will sometimes complain of being used as success objects. That's just the society we live in.
There was a strong objection to the phrase "prostitute with a whip" but I happen to think that postitution is a perfectly honorable profession. If a prostitute is honest with clients, avoids false promises, and provides good service, then she should be proud. The same can be said of a pro-domme, or a lawyer.
