I'm going to posit a question in turn, Chris, by your perception of 'truth' you used on your post. Does that mean that unless a Dominant has a submissive who is willing to take the risk of her life being outed and potentially ruined permanently, that they're not a Dominant? Or that they're not allowed to call themselves a Dominant? Of course not..the very idea is ludicrous in its entirety. Whether I have had a sub or not at various points in my life, has had NO impact on whether or not I am a Dominant. And I imagine that is the case for other Dom/mes as well. And to give you the other side of the coin, a submissive isnt required to be collared in order to be a submissive or to call themselves one. That is as intrinsic to them, as dominance is to a Dom/me
Concepts such as 'normal' 'strange' 'true' have the potential to be very damaging..not only by their very nature, but also by the perception of those who choose to wield them. Perception, is a key thing in nearly every aspect of life, and it is pervasive in the same regard. You spoke 'your perception' of the truth. Nothing more, and nothing less.
The dance that Dollmaker made mention of, is a 2 way street. No relationship within the lifestyle can flourish and bloom to the magic and wonder it could become, without consent making an appearance at least once. Without consent, that give and take between two individuals? What you have then, isnt a D/s or M/s relationship... its abuse. Much the same, as what seems to be par for the course when things are done in a one sided way (based on what I've seen, and experienced)
Are you Dominant everywhere you go, regardless of who you're interacting with? To your manager? The CEO of wherever you work? What about to your parents, or your close friends? Since you ask the question of "Since when are submissive allowed to not be submissive anymore? Its ridiculous." I'm going to ask you the same question in response. "Since when are you, as a Dom, allowed to not be a Dom anymore? Its ridiculous." That kind of expectation which seemed to be in your responses gives me the impression that either you expect a Dom to always act as a Dom, no matter what, and a sub to act as a sub, no matter what. Which simply doesnt work in life. Everyone has a bad day at least once, or falls apart at least once. Myself included. Or, do you expect a sub to always act like a sub, but a Dom isnt held to those same standards? Or should everyone be cut from the same mold, based upon the role they identify as? That would be a travesty indeed, denying or even killing off that spark that makes people unique.
Just sharing my perception and thoughts with you, and opening the door for continued discussion within this post.
