SUNSHINE48036 -> TOUCHING (5/3/2007 4:42:59 AM)
Can someone please answer why some Dom's refuse to let their submissives touch them? Although i am not currently in a D/s relationship, i was, and my D required that i ask permission to touch him...not only in play (which i can understand), i mean in every day situations. I understand that E/each D/s relationship is different but i would appreciate the opinions of O/others.

Everyone is different. For some, having the submissive/slave ask permission to do anything first ( including touching ) is just another form of control that they like to have. There is nothing wrong with it. If it bothers you though, you may want to let it be known that you require touching at any time [:)]

mstrjx -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 4:50:34 AM)
Not allowing 'touch' (although what you are describing seems more extreme than what I would be comfortable with) is a way of reinforcing the 'unequal' aspects of a D/s or M/s relationship. You are 'his' possession to do with what he wants. He, however, is NOT yours to do with what you want. You have to obtain permission. Not everyone does this. If in whatever 'new' situation you end up, you bring this up and the results aren't what you are comfortable with, keep looking. This is what negotiation is about. As I said before, I've used this to a limited extent, but in the end I'm pretty much a touchy-feely sort of guy, and like to know that my partner feels the same about me. To each their own. Hope this helps. Jeff

Like any other restriction it is a form of control. It is a reminder that I do nothing, have nothing unless he allows it. We have permission to touch him at will when we are in private or within our family structure. However when we are in public, especially lifestyle events we must ask for permission each and every time. Knight's kyra

outside of the play aspect if i ever had to ask for permission to touch someone.......i could see a groove in the corner in the shape of my knees.....for i am a person that likes to touch the person i am involved with .......

It's something I don't think I could handle. I'm way too physically affectionate but if it works for others they should go for it.

sillygirl09 -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 6:14:12 AM)
Sunshine, as everyone has stated already each relationship is different. I was in a long distance relationship for 5 years and if we were spending the weekend together one rule I was always reminded of was that whenever possible I should be touching Him in some way. Obviously if one of us was in the bathroom or if I was cooking a meal or something like that I didn't have to touch him but whenever he repeated that rule it made me love Him more.

AND might be the type of person who feels weird at physical touch.

sweetnurseBBW -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 7:37:53 AM)
Its another form of control. I had a Dom once that had expectations of touch and when and how to do it. Its a preference.

Celeste43 -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 8:53:00 AM)
It's a way of preventing emotional intimacy. If he keeps you at arms length then you aren't emotionally important to him, so if you leave it won't hurt him. Now if you want a D/s relationship that is devoid of deeper emotions go for it, otherwise I'd think long and hard.

IrishMist -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 10:13:15 AM)
I am going to repeat what pretty much everyone else has said here; that it comes down to control and personal preference. Don't forget though that there are also some submissives who don't like being touched for various reasons [:)]

Yup same here. my emotions are very intertwiend with the physical (aspecially physcal affection)and aspecially when Im feeling sad just simply beeing within physical contact with Master helps. Like last night I was really not myself kinda down and cranky and randomly thoughout the night I would go over and lean on Master, wher he usualy let me sit for a few moments pat my back and send me back to whatever I was doing. If I was not aloud to do this or had to remeber to ask to do this every time (and the though of beeing told no is really a sickening one and one that would cause me not to enter a relationship or leave a relashon ship I was already in where this was happening) it would deffinetly be a problem. and I think it would break my heart to ever hear no to the request for a hug, beacuse to me haveing to ask means that there is posability in the others mind to deny me something that is to me a basic need (I am very much a cuddler and need lots n lots of hugs.. and yes this is a very ingraned emotional need.) So yeah I can see some people doing this as others have said its just another form of controll. I dont personaly like it and would never be involved in a relationship where it existed.

Knight's kyra Do you understand why there is a distinction? i'm not making a judgement either way, i'm simply curious as to what the difference is. If it's ok to touch at will in private, why the need to ask permission in front of others at lifestyle events? As someone who has never been to any of those events, i'm wondering if it has something to do with general expectations there or just Knight's personal preference. Thanks.....slave luci

Maybe Knight is just like one of the Doms that i know, He just isn't big on Public displays of affection, but doesn't mind it all in private. heartfelt

quote: ORIGINAL: AquaticSub It's something I don't think I could handle. I'm way too physically affectionate but if it works for others they should go for it. i agree. i recall when Master and i were first talking and something was mentioned about how some dominants require subs/slaves to ask permission before touching them. That really impacted me because i AM so physically affectionate. i remember thinking and stating to Him that, if that were to be the case with U/us, it would probably be something that i would have a hard time getting in the "habit" of, so to speak, as it would be requiring reversal of a lifetime's worth of doing it (kind of like speech restrictions, third party speak, etc). He assured me it would not be the case in O/our relationship and it has not been. As a matter of fact, it has been quite the opposite. Whether in private or public, He wants me touching Him as much as possible. Whether it just be my hand in His, my touch on the small of His back as W/we are standing close, my head lightly laying on His shoulder, etc. In public, He doesn't like me even being out of arms' reach unless He has instructed me to go do something which requires that distance. i really think it is all about individual preferences of doms and, as some have mentioned, some people (dom or sub) just don't like lots of physical contact in general......slave luci

Even in vanilla situations, some people do not like public displays of affection. i was just wondering if it was simply that or if it had anything to do specifically with the "general practices", as it were, at lifestyle events. Thanks, slave luci

littleone35 -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 12:48:29 PM)
I am aslso very physically affectionate. Have to ask permission to touch Master would make me crazy. I am always rubbing or scratching his back ,touching his arm, caressing his face. I think he feels the same because one of my first and contuining rules is when i leave and return to his side i have to kiss him, and i love that. Even when we go out in public we hold hands so we are always touching each other. Matt's littleone

Thanks.....slave luci Even though I can not answer for the parties that you posed the question to , I can answer from my own experience. In the past, while in the public at events, clubs or in the presence of others; he did not encourage or like to be touched in any way outside of strict protocal guidelines. That meant asking first and waiting for permission. For some, it is just a following of certain protocals and nothing else.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: TOUCHING (5/3/2007 1:28:55 PM)
You can also blame it on my partner- before him I was always very uncomfortable with PDAs- even hand holding was pushing it. Now I'm a total slob about it, one of those couples you think need to just get a room already.
