ORIGINAL: TypeAsub1 I hate parties because the vast majority of people who attend them are moronic idiots, incapable of carrying on a conversation about anything other than floggers, cuffs, piercings etc. Parties are mixed bag, IME. Some really smart, engaging people. Some people who couldn't find their way out of a blindfold with both hands free. quote:
I don't even care about that shit. Me either. I think exhibitionist tendencies work into those type of scenes. I have a bit of that but would rather exercise discreetly in the vanilla world. quote:
I don't care if they have S&M experience. I care a great deal, espescially depending on what they want to do. Does he like whips? You don't want to be one he learns to throw a whip on. Does he like bondage? That's the most common way of sustaining injury in BDSM. I care that his experience matches his ambitions. I care that he *knows* this is potentially dangerous stuff ... he'll get that knowledge in a BDSM community environment (he'll get it pounded into him in a good one). quote:
I do care that they have experience with and in understanding human behaviour, leadership, management, communication, and a host of other things. That would be the ideal. If I were a top/dom, that's what I would study. I've studied it anyway but most Doms won't know all that stuff (from my experience thus far). Should that be a deal breaker? I dunno. What if he appears teachable (WTF??? A sub teaching a Dom - topping from the bottom and all that crap!)? A Dom who could teach me nothing would be fairly worthless to me, and I wouldn't settle for Dom who doesn't love learning from everyone, including me. quote:
I don't "play". I hate the word play. I have a hard time with play, but there are things that bring out the kid in me. An amusement park with radical rides; grade-A swingset; a lovely beach that screams for water toys; paragliding; zip-lining; snorkeling, etc. Play is good. quote:
This isn't a game for me. It's a relationship. If you're not my Dom.. or someone I'm considering will be Dom in the near future... you will not touch me and you most certainly will not "play" with me. Play parties always make me laugh. Why would anyone expect to meet someone of substance at one of those things? Because there are not a lot of options. The one group I went to (and didn't like much) was populated by accountants, engineers, and mid to high level (on the corporate ladder) management folk. I didn't like it because it wasn't about relationships. It was just about play ... The people were nice people for the most part, and some were looking for someone. Short of online, where else would one look? Also for newcomers not so smart and sure as you, it's can be a safe place to start exploring. I am with you though ... it's not my bag. I'd rather tough it out and find someone who clicks AND is kinked in the way that I am. That can be really hard though, even for someone who is as smart and as pretty as you are. For someone who doesn't have those advantages, it's even harder. [:)] MaryT
