ORIGINAL: catize quote:
..you know I'm right. You submissive women out there reading this know it's true. You hunters out there know it's true. When we fail to see prospective partners as human, we lose our humanity. A date is a date, whether we are kinky or not. To think giving yourself the title of 'dominant' negates the rights of another because they have labeled themselves submissive is as wrong as rape . Submissive equals prey/victim??? Not the way I see it, not in my world. Greetings, The reality is a Dom/sub date is not the same date in a vanilla relationship in the making . Trust me or not. It's because we are not dating here in the traditional sense. Safe and sane? The reality is it is a great slogan and we do pay lip service to that and even talk about safe words but I've never run into a submissive that I could trust to utter a safe word (unless G_ddamn is a safe word) and many or even most are quite capable of following the lead of a Dom they may have just met. After all, being submissive in the BDSM or Gorean world does not mean you are not aggressive or adventuresome in following your desires. It is in their nature. So, the OP is not unusual in what she did when she got into his car and followed where he led on the first date. All submissives I have met real time followed where I led on the first date. I am not unique in that experience. Another reality is the prey dynamic does figure quite strong in dating here and to a more "under the covers" extent in munches and a much bigger than life extent in most Lifestyle Clubs and dungeons (I said "dungeons", think about it). Reality is also that "the prey", the female submissive, is not less human or of low quality or treated as "less human" for following their primal desires and instincts. Quite the opposite. In fact, I submit to you that they are more human than most in doing so. Finally, I suggest these realities are known by most submissves who actually meet and date Doms from here and FL or in Lifestyle clubs across this big world. They know the prey dynamic is very much there from minute one even if only subconsciously. It is why they are here and not on Match.com. It is what they want. It's what we want. Respectfully, Arturas Arturas' passage bolded and italicized to indicate the part I disagree with most. There's a HUGE difference in leading if I lead the conversation or order for a woman, and if I grab them and try to force myself on them. It's called manners, protocol, civilized behavior... you get the idea. Being a Dom does NOT mean that I follow my own rules everywhere and reject ethical and for that matter lawful behavior. Saying that I'm a Dom is not carte Blanche for boorish and criminal behavior. For that matter, I have actually met real live submissives who I did not choose to lead on the first date. And I've known some who were more than ready to give themselves over to a Dom who had proven himself to be a match for them, but not until then. The idea that a submissive is submissive to just any ol' self-called Dom is just as silly as the idea of the Dom who strides through life, barking commands to all objects, animate and inanimate alike. OP, some of the viewpoints you have been given imply that a Dom and a sub are just that, and that that dynamic trumps relating to each other as people. I disagree, strongly. The truth is exactly as I wrote it. The quote you disagree with most is: "I am not unique in that experience" but I fail to see why you would disagree. Your comment that submissives do agree to be led once a Dom proves his match does not contrast with my statement. Many of us can consistantly obtain that power transfer on the first meeting becase we are real, we work very hard to master ourselves and develop our minds, our bodies and spirits into that needed to be a Dom, a master who deserves that type of reaction from submissives. I am very much not unique in that regard. There are many other great doms online here who are seen in the clubs practicing their lifestyle, their skill sets, enjoying their lives, enjoying the predator/prey dynamic; hunting. If you are not, then I can see why you'd not agree with the way it is. The submissive clitwhipscream seems to know what is really going on offline. She is honest in her comments on this. I know many submissives here understand her posting and while they may not always meet a dom who they are ready to submit to the first meeting, they do indeed know it happens more than the well wishing posters here might believe, especially if they have been actively in this lifestyle for any amount of time. Also, to be clear, leading a submissive female on the first meeting is NOT the same as grabbing her and forcing your will on her and I don't appreciate that false spin on my posting. A great dom knows how to read the submissive, even on the first meeting and lets be clear on this also, many submissives will let him know her desires if he deserves her interest. Let me ask this in closing, just how many meetings must a submissive and prospective Dom have until she can follow his lead? Ha! The answer is "as many as it takes". That is "one" many times for great submissives and great Doms. It is always for me. Get over it. Arturas
