Wait, you get laid?

I thought it was about the Power being giving to me by a slave.

And the service that she gives.

I'm suppose to get LAID....

Damn, I need to check the manual again....

Sex is so far from importance in my bdsm I'd need a passport if it was a country.


I got into bdsm because the aspects of kink fufilled me in ways vanilla stuff didn't, like spankings center me and make me happy, And when I had a dom pleasing him and the diffrentness and specialness of the relationship made it 10 times more meaning full to us than regular dating.

Many of us feel the combined forms of intellectual, emotional and spiritual submission/dominance are equally and ultimately more important if one aims to be submissive or dominant in the truest sense of the word.

Finding a man who is both educated and has street smarts, who is ambitious but also generous, a bit of arrogance and the confidence of one who knows he can not only take your power, but keep it, hone it and make you better for his control of it. Couple that with the fact that we laugh, a lot and, as others have said, the sex part is a huge perk to the D/s part.

But I see alot of overt sexual deviants online claiming to embrace 'lifestyle' and wonder if this is a accurate representation of most people in 'lifestyle'

Hell, it's been so long since I've HAD it, I can't even remember who gets tied up!!

But, I digress...

there are many reasons one may be compelled to follow their heart and/or their needs/deires into this lifestyle. Many mentioned much more eloquently by those before me.

I'd study a lot more about the lifestyle (if this is an interest) before looking at it from such a narrow perspective.

With that being said...put the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of it all together...and well...it's just gonna be intense, isn't it?

Status: offline 		I believe that if you are in a relationship of this type of lifestyle then your bound to have sex eventually, it is still an act of love if your seeking a relationship its inevitable however there are plety of people out there who are also looking to be sexually dominatedand to be sexually dominant.

As you transgress to the lifestyle from just partial part of bdsm it becomes more apparent in the relationship of a persons lifestyle is going to beome sexual in some form or another (natural part of ourselves and cannot be avoided) try to remember that both the slave and mistress/master have desires and in any type of relationship I don't think either would be stupid enough to ignore them altogether!

Personally I'm doing this to find someone to control me for the rest of my life however both my life and hers will involve sex so it is inevitable (have I had sex, no I am still a virgin I just mb I am waiting cause I kinda want my virginity removed by force by the right person!)

I don't see how someone's sexuality could be separated from their intimate desires to connect with another person, which is a basic aspect of wiitwd (did I get the letters right?). Whether service-oriented, masochist, top, Master, etc., I believe that there is always an erotic component. If there wasn't then you could get a job cleaning someone's house and be just as fulfilled (for example).

I'm curious about others' perceptions, so please educate me: for those that see their "kink" as servitude, are you also saying that there is NO erotic component to that service/position? Then why is it a kink? Why seek servitude on a bdsm site instead of having it be a vocation where it's what you do for a living? Or as an avocation, where you volunteer to clean houses (or whatever the service is) for elderly or disabled?

I don't see my submission as completely sexual, but the sexual/erotic component is so intertwined that the actions I do in submission ARE erotic to me as well.

Status: offline 		How are we defining "sex"? There doesn't have to be intercourse, or an orgasm, for an experience to be sexual (erotic...whatever). In keeping with the example, there is no erotic charge, no erotic thrill to performing service?

If one is looking for a life partner, then yes, sex is a natural progression in that level of relationship. However, I think many of us downplay the role of intercourse in favor of BDSM, because BDSM is the more important component. Many of us who see this as a "lifestyle" have gone the vanilla-sex-no-BDSM-relationship route at some point and found it lacking, no matter how good the vanilla sex was. Would we REALLY want someone as a life partner that we didn't find attractive and sexy and a good partner in bed, in addition to being a good bottom/top/sub/dominant? Probably not.

Another reason I tend to downplay the role of sex myself, simply so as not to have to deal with the masses who want the sex and kink without the relationship aspects, because I'm not overly interested in one without the other. I think most women who have been in the lifestyle for any period of time are familiar with the "you're kinky so you must be willing to have sex with anyone" attitude.

It's not all about sex. For some, sex has very, very little to do with the lifestyle. It's the pleasure that a person gets from serving another, making that person happy, making their life easier. To them, this is more important than just satisfying a sexual urge.
