Redfoxmask​(dom male) - I don't know but I am going to say both you can find true love in a D/s and in just a D/s bdsm relationship. some will probably disagree but I think there is room for both

alawey​(sub female)​{(OWNED BY } - This is where I say there a difference between a relationship and a dynamic.

Sapiosexual - Thank you -Redfoxmask I appreciate your input.

Redfoxmask​(dom male) - Comment deleted by poster.

Redfoxmask​(dom male) - only reason I say what I do is because you may not be looking for it (TRUE LOVE) in just Bdsm type relationship or in the D/s dynamic but if it can happen I am sure it will. you might not be searching for it and then BOOM! out of nowhere it happens you find your true love , then what, ignore it or persue it and see if its something worth persuing in your D/s dynamic or your bdsm dynamic. thats all Im saying.

Sapiosexual - I would be interested in hearing more on your thoughts alawey?

SoaringFree​(sub female) - For me, the 2 have joined beautifully. It really depends on the individuals. There is a forum post about this.

alawey​(sub female)​{(OWNED BY } - A bdsm relationship is were there is a true partnership in all things yet one always knows where they stand as Dom or sub. And the Dom learns to be able to lean on his/her sub. For they recognize the subs strengths and allow it, honor it.

And example of this would be in Wulf and my case. I pay the bills ( meaning I am responsible for making sure the checks / auto payments and such are send / set up and on time). It is sd something I am good at managing our money and budgeting . That doesnt mean I dont discuss what I'm doing and when I'm doing it with him .Because I do just that for he is my Dom and has final say and thoughts on all things. On the other hand he always takes wat I have to say into consideration and thinks on it.

Now to me personally a dynamic without a relationship is more of a play time . Where the dom is the dom and the sub is the sub while only in a scene or such. ( bedroom dom only)

And what many ppl fail to realize is that being a dom is more than barking orders, and that being a sub is more than allowing someone to use you . And that BDSM is more than just SEX. Sex is the cherry on top of the icecream / the icing on the cake.
So using that thought :
A dynamic is only the icing or cherry
Where a relationship is the cake / icecream.

Does that help?

Sapiosexual - Alawey- thank you for that in-depth and insightful explanation.

Sapiosexual - Love (bedroom Dom)

SweetSirRendering​(sub female) - my submission is born of love, so my answer is undeniably and enthusiastically, yes!

Sapiosexual - Intriguing,thank you for sharing.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - God I hope so

Sapiosexual - That’s curious because For some, the knowledge of mutual love is a requirement for her submission. For others, it’s a matter of what form of dynamic they have. It all may be simply be subjective.

GiannaRay​(sub female) - I want it all, the kinky white picket fence lol

sarahrah - Of course. Yes. Absolutwly

DiscoveringMyself​(sub female) - In my search and in my hope of all hopes it will be one in the same.

trappedperhaps​(sub female) - I think there is yes

lHARLEYQUONN​(masochist female) - True love is possible you just have to believe it
