ORIGINAL: Kana Yep.In BDSM, as in Real Life, it is far often easier to train someone from scratch than to untrain and then retrain. At least with a true newbie, tabula rosa style,one never hears, "But that's the way my old dom liked it." Blank slates are wonderful things...as long as the willingness to learn andthe humility to accept teachings come with it quote: I think most don't care about experience level, but it depends on the specific dom, doesn't it.To this cat, experience matters a whole heckuva lot less than characteristics such as willingness and obedience.I can teach everything I need her to learn,but without those two base ingredients,things ain't gonna go anywhere Couldn't agree with you more, Kana. Regarding obedience itself, going through the motions isn't enough. Words are cheap. Compliance is what matters. A sub can act as though he understands and agrees, but if he doesn't follow through with the consistency of his actions, then acquiescence is meaningless. quote:
ORIGINAL: DarkSteven There are lots of reasons I would take on a sub. Experience level really isn't a major factor. That said, I've seen some insecure Doms wanting a newbie only, because they don't want a sub to have any basis for comparing them to others. Generally, the man makes first contact whether Dom or sub. But there's no rule for that, and as a male Dom, I'm flattered when a woman makes the first move. May I ask you, DarkSteven, are you the type of man who takes compliments well? Informally, I've noticed that men who don't react negatively to expressions of positive attention (from the desired gender) are not threatened by a woman making the first introductory move or showing interest (beyond innocent flirtation). Other men might view it as being overly aggressive, unfeminine, or in the worst-case scenario--being "easy." Obviously, this doesn't apply in a F/m communications exchange, and I don't hesitate to show interest in a male sub if warranted. When in doubt, though, I'd have to agree as follows: quote:
ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt As in real life, males tend to contact females, regardless of orientation. However, if you find a profile you like, I say go for it. As much as we women complain about being inappropriately contacted, it's still a gesture I would expect a man to make to get the ball rolling.
