ORIGINAL: AAkasha When a sub gives you a PRESENT (one you did not ask for - OR, he asks, "What can I send you as a gift?") then later makes you feel like you owe him, how do you handle that? I don't like feeling obligated. I really resent it when a guy gifts a gift that I did not ask for and then holds it up or keeps kind of mentioning it. It seems some subs are so used to "tributes" = play, that they can give a gift and have strings attached. How do you tactfully tell them, "Thank you for the gift, but I am not going to do S&M with you"? Akasha I can't see how this is any different from everyday vanilla assholery. Some men think "if I (insert anything simulating decent or nice behavior) she is obligated/expected to (insert whatever they desire, sexual or not)". If I can tell the male is that way, I don't accept the gift. If I find out after accepting that he is, I tell him flatly that that's not how it works and to go fuck himself, either in polite phrasings or in those words. If they are just bringing it up again and and again, as some do, just because they are looking to get patted on the back for it or are striving to be pleasing, then I've more patience.
