ORIGINAL: RCdc I don't see that as an ultimate veto for the s-type, it's a decision that both people can have. It's unlikely to be a simultaneous decision. At various points during the relationship, the dominant says "Do this." Every single time, the submissive is free to say "no," even if knowing that saying no, the dominant will end the relationship. The final say so is always within the submissive's power. Again barring illegality, etc. quote:
Tenuous? I don't agree. If all s-types were needy, uneducated people with low self esteem who could not stand on their own two feet outside a relationship, then you might have been correct. But that isn't the case. If a dominant is so petulant as to end the relationship because the submissive refuses to submit to something a bit out of the ordinary, that's childish. Like a vanilla couple breaking up because one of them squeezes the toothpaste from the middle. Do people have arguments about that very thing? Sure, they do. And it's childish, too. A relationship based on childishness is doomed. A vanilla relationship that would end over a toothpaste tube or a D/s one that would end based on the submissive's refusal to submit to something unusual is a tenuous one. Let me go out on a limb and say that your relationship is based on mutual respect. If he ordered you to do something and you kind of messed up, and not on purpose, I'm betting he would not end the relationship over that. Now if the submissive never wants to do what the dominant wants, then they are not compatible as a couple. But I'm not talking about a case where the submissive never wants to submit.
