ORIGINAL: jbcurious I have never dated an asshole or an abuser in my life. To this day I am friends with all of the men I have dated and have even gone so far as to hook them up with other women...I hate to see a good man go to waste. Then please continue to use the excellent people-choosing skills you already have, and you will be fine. Incidentally, I don't believe your "bad BDSM story," as you described it, portrayed you as abysmally stupid. Perhaps there was more to the event, but you got references, you checked the guy out, and you got burned. There are many people who believe BDSM is somehow a separate category from "relationships." It's not. I bet if you had chosen your first dom in the exact same way as you chose your first boyfriend, you would be less annoyed at yourself about your first BDSM experience. Please understand that the context of these posts is a thread that began with ranting, and the OP of the thread was disavowing personal responsibility for bad relationship choices. I think you are taking some of what is said too personally. Take whatever is of value to you, personally, and discard the rest. Just like your mail inbox!
