It never ceases to amuse me when someone tells me that they have always thought I was a Dominant person. I giggle when I hear someone say that they are surprised to find that I have a Master and that I identify as a submissive. I have long sat down to figure out exactly why people seem to view me has more dominant then submissive until they get to know me, and I have come up with several reasons, all revolving around perceptions.
Since I started writing submissive blogs or blogs on my personal lifestyle choices I have had many pm's with questions in general. I encourage questions, as knowledge is power and I feel the understanding of lifestyles will help others not be forced to hide it, or face ridicule. This blog will be dealing with the basis of a D/s relationship, and throwing down some misconceptions that seem to have arisen.
Ok, so I only do blogs when I really would like to talk about something, but don't really want to post it on the forums for one reason or another. This one, I am still contemplating posting just for the input of other submissive type people.
There are a myriad of kinks out there. Some are strange, some are not so strange. Some are ho-hum for people who have been "in the scene" for a while. And some are so out there that only those that are into them really understand them. I know I've talked about a lot of D/s stuff, and I'm going to talk about it more. I talk about it a lot because it is one of my favourite kinks, and one from which many others spring. That is, of course, why you're reading, I expect. So here we are, standing together, hand in hand. Your palm is kinda sweaty, though.
Usually I start these things out with a description of some sort, because I've often been told that description is easily one of my strongest writing skills, but y'all read enough about whips lashing and crops cracking and ... mmm... I'd probably get distracted with a desctription like that anyway. So, launching right into masochism, there is an art to it. Or, rather, to sadism.
I have established with Vek that this could be a personal/public journal as it were, so not everything I write here is about something or someone on Elliquiy. This is somewhat personal, but considering that my real name isnt attached to this, and that most of people who will probably read this are not unlike myself, I feel relatively safe. My man and I have been together for over two years.
