Rochsub, once again you are forgetting that the sex is not the only sexual thing.
Whatever arouses you is sexual!
Whatever puts focus on sex is sexual.
That's why even your chastity training was very sexual.



But you misunderstood my message.  i said that only ONE of those situations involved chastity.  The others were completely asexual.

We could reverse it, and say that, yes, everything, everything at all, is sexual, and that only makes it better! Maybe that's the difference between sensual and sexual, even though the two tend to be connected.
But in the end, the inescapable truth remains. I am not a particularly sexual human. Sex just plain isn't that important to me. Yet I do this also. Humans are complex. Our motivations are especially complex.

It's like when a baby sucks his or her thumb... okay, so, yeah, it's somehow related to sexuality, which *in and of itself* manifests a basic drive, a kind of primordial willing. So, good for him! Good for her! 'Suck on, you crazy darling!'

If you felt any erotic desire or attraction to your Domme during your service, even if this desire was never satisfied, then the relationship has a sexual component.
If you were EVER turned on by her or by thinking about her or by your submission, then it was sexual, even if no sexual acts were ever performed.

.That's what I am trying to say, somewhere deeply hidden, I think it is always connected to sexuality.
For example, if I ever felt desire to dominate another man, or to be submissive to another man, I would start thinking that I am gay.
Even if there is no sex involved whatsoever.

thats homophobia.  if you are homophobic the above as youve said would be impossible for YOU.  absorb the YOU for a while.

absorbed yet or do you need a bit more time.....,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

step away from youre homophobic reaction to this idea and then embrace the fact that not everyone has youre hang up.

for a while ive been quietly curious about submitting to a female dominant - maybe because im female and its that whole thing about being with someone of the same sex and connecting woman to woman that i find attractive and intreaguing.


It's not homophobia - it's heterosexuality. As a heterosexual I have no desire neither to submit to other men nor to dominate them.
If I tried to do so, I would feel very, very awkward and uncomfortable.

With women, however, I am open to all possibilities. I can be submissive, I can be dominant, I can switch, nothing of these things is repulsive to me.
It all depends on the women involved and the chemistry.




Some people will argue that heterosexuality is a 'social construct'. I'm not too sure; I think it's complicated, and trying to incorporate evolutionary logic can be quite confusing. (It also doesn't help that the people making this argument tend to be homosexual. This is a side note.)

Excellent point.  I'm keeping the whole thing.

Let's ask you, SN.  Let's suppose you met someone of casual acquaintance who, if you were to be in service to them, could help to introduce you to the real world that is BDSM.  Introduce you to people in the lifestyle to see how they really lived.  Teach you first hand experience of what this was all about.  Answer all of your questions, not just from them, but provide the gateway to connecting with as many kinky people as Bosnia has to offer.  You would be welcome to live in that house and be considered a part of a family.

In exchange for this person taking all of this time to satisfy all of your curiosity and the opportunity to learn all of these things, you would become the houseboy.  This would give you first hand experience in what it is really like to serve someone.  There would be no sex involved and the only play conducted would be those situations that everyone approved.

Does that offer sound intriguing?

Would it really matter if the person who made such an offer was a man or a woman?

I dig the sexual. But my personality within a relationship is that of a submissive. That has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with the need to cater to my mate even when it is not to my benefit.

I have friends that are male that have male Doms that are straight and engage in a d/s dynamic without sex that is very much real, one of them going on a decade now.

Well this was enlightening. But I still think that such relationships are extremely rare.


I have a friend who has a guy doing his laundy, doing yard and house work along with running errands and whatever else he needs done. The ironic part of it all, this guy is his "sort of ex girlfriends" boyfriend. Regardless, this guy is folding his socks and underwear and many other service tasks. Everybody is straight and there's no homosexuality involved.

Apparently this is not clear, so I'll emphasize this.  Discussion of the merits of a particular poster is a hijack of the thread topic.  If you're wondering why your posts vanished, that might be why.

Relate your comments to the thread topic, in a way that is courteous to others, or don't post.

OP, the word "appeal" isn't quite what I'd use.  I'd say "comfort".  I have had some serve me nonsexually, and I considered them to be my responsibility.  I currently have an ex-sub who now serves me as a service submissive.  Her son is doing handyman work around the house and you could say he serves me as well.  There is nothing sexual between the two of us and never will be, and his mother is a slave to someone else while she serves me.  It's complicated but it works.

First of all, I am not so interested in BDSM lifestyle and community that I would choose to define my life by it.
I am interested only in one-on-one interactions, not in meeting all the kinksters in Bosnia.
By the way, Bosnia is very conservative country, and if people found out that I am active in such circles, this could have negative social consequences to me.
So I would probably not choose to live in a flat of someone who is extremely involved in kink scene in Bosnia.

In a hypothetical scenario that I live in another country where such things are more acceptable I still doubt that I would like to be any kind of houseboy,
regardless if it was offered by a woman or by a man. I have many other things to do in my life instead of being a houseboy.

For me BDSM and D/s is about intimate, romantic, sexual relationships which include some kink or power exchange.
I am interested in engaging in such relationships only with women.

That's fair enough.  I appreciate an honest answer.

Knowing that you feel that way about it, can you understand that some other people might feel differently?  They may want the experience and opportunity to serve more than anything else.  It may be a situation where they feel more at home.  That they might see this as an opportunity to meet that person (because of the contacts they would make) to go to the next step?  They might see it as the exact way to reach the thing that they have always wanted  In doing this, they may feel more like their authentic selves than they have ever had the chance to make a reality.

As for Bosnia being conservative....... You choose to stay.  If I were you, I'd be putting in for a visa.  I would not want to face the possibility of My entire life of wanting something I could never have.  If you're cool with it, great.  I wouldn't want to look back on My life regretting that I didn't seize the opportunities that might have been there.

OK, Lady Pact, I think I am starting to understand what are you talking about. There are some people who primarily need to serve, then everything else.
So, they can satisfy this need with the people of same sex, even if they are not homosexual.
Also, they want to learn about the lifestyle , so they choose to do this in a such way.

For me, it is not the case. I think that D/s tendencies must be inspired in me. Some women inspire me to be submissive, some inspire me to be dominant.
But without this inspiration I have no D/s tendencies. And only women inspire this in me.

When it comes to relocating, this is one of options for my life. I am not sure if I will do it or when, but this will probably be considered in one moment.

Yes!  How many times must i say that? 

i have served several Dommes that i didn't feel were the least bit attractive physically.  Your own perceptions/expectations are preventing you from seeing a motivation that is different from your own.

Well that helps me understand why you were being so dense about my position.  Now i have a clearer understanding of your paradigm.  However, i hope that you see that there are many on the board who operate from a very different paradigm. 

If there is one lesson that i'd like to see you learn from your time on this board, it is simply that.  Try to understand and appreciate the perspective of others, even if it differs from your own.  In human behavior/sexuality, there is often neither "right" nor "wrong".  Rather, there is merely "different".
