@BecomingV, it's at times like these when I wish we had a "Like" button, because not only was your post informative and thought-provoking, but it helped me to mentally sift through a few situations I had encountered which hadn't made sense at the time. @cloudboy, you crack me up. (You might have intended to be completely serious, but I thought I'd pass that along.) quote:
ORIGINAL: GotSteel quote:
ORIGINAL: FieryOpal We are both Dominants. This does not mean we should look the other way when other Dominants come posting at least once a month with complaints about how they can't find any "real" live-in slaves (often calling them fakes and time wasters, etc.) for instant 24/7 TPE free maid service and unpaid labor. If this has anything to do with the OP or anything I've ever said I sure don't see what, care to explain what's going on in your head? You may not have read the original, unrevised profile. What I had placed in quotation marks was taken verbatim. I have no dog in this fight, but you have expressed your disapproval of F/m financial domination, specifically with fin-Dommes. You are certainly entitled to express your opinion. However, IF you do not view other forms of financial domination or inequality/one-sidedness in the quid-pro-quo process as being unfair and/or exploitative, then that strikes me as bordering on hypocrisy (which is unlike you), expressly: -- slave provides services to contribute to Dominant's household. (Pre-revised profile stated she is seeking only one male slave now to be kept in chastity, no sexual access to female slaves is allowed, nor they to him) -- Dominant specifies BDSM play is NOT on the table. slave must accept there is already a Dom who lives there (per pre-revised profile). -- Please not that her stipulation that "Everyone in the household must work and contribute financially to the household," contains the word "contribute financially." They must work at paid jobs and bring in money, in addition to providing their slave services and helping to "care for farm animals." No bartering for BDSM play, no sexual activities allowed among slaves. Perhaps you didn't mean that you couldn't see anything wrong with this picture, but that's how I took your questioning of "Huh? I missed something, when did this become unreasonable?" I then presented, in satirical form (in order for OP to not perceive my making a personal attack for offering basically nothing in exchange for servitude, which she did anyway) my response to your query. In other matters, you have been consistent in your postings. Our disconnect has to do with your assuming this had to do with an intimate D/s relationship dynamic (whether mono or *true* poly, such as what KofM has). You were just going by the opening post, evidently, and not by what was actually spelled out in OP's original profile. Therein lies the difference as to what was/is going on in both of our heads.
