Are you submissive?
Are you submissive?
Many ladies have messaged me saying that they are not sure if they
are submissive. I think there might be a quick litmus test that can
be applied….
You have changed in the bathroom of the elegant hotel. You are
nervous but eager. You return to the darkened bedroom and stand
proudly before your lover wearing gorgeous black underwear, stockings
and heels. Your hands are behind your back, your eyes are closed, and
your legs.. open and available. You look gorgeous. You calm and begin
to float as the scene washes over you. You are ready to go anywhere
your lover takes you.
Your seated and silhouetted lover, sipping Champagne, says gently
"Are you submissive….? Do you want to please me ?"
Well the question for the ladies is ….
Did you giggle... or did the world go slightly unfocussed there for
just a second?
It would be fun to survey reactions … if the ladies could post a
comment below…. just the word ‘giggle’ would do. If you post
something other than ‘giggle’ I suggest you do it anonymously …
otherwise you will be inundated with messages from wannabe Doms.
smile. (With acknowledgement to the letter by PageS … ‘IE and
the Moral High Ground’ here on this site).

Anonymous User - 06 Sep, 2012 - 06:21PM I had an affair with a Dom on this site and it was the most erotic experience in just the way described. For me it felt respectful and negotiated. I consented to being a sub for the times we were together and it was a turn on to allow someone to be in charge for that agreed time. As a powerful woman in business and in my life I really appreciated the freedom of someone else leading the way sexually at that time. Thank you Sir. It was fun to play. |

Anonymous User - 06 Sep, 2012 - 08:15AM Anon user 5th Sept 2.40. Yes I totally agree with you. I think the whole BDSM thing betrays a lack of warmth, sensitivity and imagination. There is a whole range of scenarios for "Normal / Vanilla" sex ranging from the hotel cliche to alfresco not to mention the actual love making itself. It seems to have become the go-to option for those who see themselves as unconventional and adventurous but in reality are just conforming to a cliched and hackneyed behaviour stereotype. |

Anonymous User - 05 Sep, 2012 - 08:13AM What I much prefer is working out what works for each other and where the necessary chemistry leads, with an open mind. In which case, it's really whatever works between the couple! How do we know what we like if we've never tried it? 2 members like this comment. Like |

Anonymous User - 05 Sep, 2012 - 02:40AM I promised myself I would not send a response to this letter, but alas cannot help myself. I think it is all a load of .... you fill in the blanks! How many of these doms have wives who are not subs? Can't take the heat? What would their wives think of them looking for this kind of sexual relationship? What happened to sex being about fun, romance, feel good stuff. I for one do not want just sex dom/sub or whatever, I want a real affair where we are both equal, where we can enjoy ourselves in and out of the bedroom and even laugh during sex, after all it is not a serious pastime is it? And what the hell is this vanilla sex? I believe we all come in lots of different flavours |

Anonymous User - 04 Sep, 2012 - 09:46PM I met a man here (we are not together anymore) and convinced me I am submissive. I never knew I'd enjoy being told what to do in bed. We played role games like hotel guest-room maid or policeman-thief and etc... It's a shame our affair ended, I trully enjoyed myself... now hoping to find another DOM :) xxx. |

MatureDomUK - 03 Sep, 2012 - 09:39PM Spot on puresubmission. We all have to start somewhere, but not from just reading 50 shades of c... A real submissive may harbour thoughts that take years before they become strong enough to emerge......like a crysalis to a butterfly......with the inbuilt instinct to match. Liked the scenario though........not so far removed from reality......and no, she wouldn't giggle....though later.....that look on her face......any real submissive knows about that. |
|
the sassy sirena - 03 Sep, 2012 - 01:35AM I think that we all have the power to be either sub or dom. It depends who your partner is, having experienced both sides to this, Im naturally feisty but there was one man who gave me his time, travelled a long distance and wonderful play so I would do anything he asked of me. |

Anonymous User - 31 Aug, 2012 - 07:03PM I was born a submissive its part of who I am.. 50 shades has no understanding of the real life of a submissive, the female character only wanted to submit when it suited her, that is not a true representation of a true sub. I have spoken to men who seem to think that submissive means 'I like it rough' nothing can be further from the truth. I love to please and enjoy all the trappings that go along with that both in and out of the bedroom. I am not a doormat though and strangly am in control of who I allow to dominate me. 1 member likes this comment. Like |

Anonymous User - 31 Aug, 2012 - 06:47AM I think many wannabe (or want to be) Doms think that the point of D/s is to get the girl/lady/woman/sub to do whatever he wants her to so the thought is appealing (eg. I will set the scenario: man sitting on sofa watching his footy with a beer in one hand and the woman on all fours with his feet up on her back - she is dressed in nearly nothing but has a leash on and fetches him beers when he barks his orders to do so - when the footy is over he then demands she blows him which she complies to immediately with desire to please him to the fullest, she then massages his feet practically wagging a tail like a dog.) The reality here is a true D/s relationship means the man gives the woman pleasure, and she also returns the favour. The Dom gets his kicks from pleasuring the woman in a manner in which she has given herself fully to trust him and how far he can take her. I dont do the whole dom/sub thing, it doesn't interest me, but I do know that people definitely have got the wrong end of the stick and it can get dangerous when you do not know what you are doing or have a false perception... especially if you are the dom and have a false perception... |

Anonymous User - 28 Aug, 2012 - 09:21AM Hello, |

Anonymous User - 28 Aug, 2012 - 12:48AM The recent trilogy by no means reflects the world of BDSM as it really is. I'm a Dom, have been for a number of years now and have known several true submissive women. It's a lifestyle of total trust and openness and the pleasure that both participants feel, far surpasses that of a vanilla relationship. There is such variety within the lifestyle too and always new things to experience. Without fail, the women I've known all love the feel of rope used to tightly restrain. For those uninitiated, go on try it, I bet you'll feel something you've never felt before |

Return2Love - 27 Aug, 2012 - 10:38PM Everyone has different sets of boundaries and we like to think our way is the right way,I believe that to be able to receive pleasure you need to know how to give it, to be dominant you need to know how to submit and vice versa. To understand something in someone else you first need to come to terms with it in yourself. |

Anonymous User - 27 Aug, 2012 - 08:55PM Mmmmmm....xxDominantxx, I was lost in a fantasy world of my own. Im watching you sipping the Babycham. You arise from the chair, slowly but purposefully walk across to the edge of the bed. The gold medallion on your orangey tanned hairy chest shines as it catches the light. You lift one hand and twirl the end of your thick moustache which I find incredibly tantalising. Im now quivering with excitement at the thought of you removing your brown and beige nylon Y fronts!!!! :-D |

Anonymous User - 27 Aug, 2012 - 06:50PM l believe there are different levels of sub and dom in all relationships, as long as the safe boundaries are not crossed and trust is lost, each to their own. |

|
Tia67 - 27 Aug, 2012 - 12:32AM Fifty Shades may be a boring read, but what it did was to bring that kind of relationship into the public domain, many people have spoken about it and how they would feel if it was them.. we are all here for that illicit, exciting and passionate affair and one thing to say we all have the choice on how far that may be pushed and if we want to be, so I say if that is you, enjoy the ride and above all stay safe :) |

secretly_seeking - 26 Aug, 2012 - 10:26PM 50 Shades of Grey is about as far removed from BDSM as chocolate flavoured cake covering is from 70% dark chocolate. Like many here, I have experienced true D/s and it's far more about attitudes than it is about stockings and suspenders. 50 Shades is a knight in shining armour fairy tale and full of utter rubbish. I have experienced contracts and bondage, pain and pleasure, and the true escape that a good Master can bring. |

Anonymous User - 26 Aug, 2012 - 10:05PM Surely the most exciting thing about Fifty Shades is that Mr Grey is a billionaire! |

Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 07:31PM I am utterly baffled by all of this stuff. What's wrong with good old fashioned romantic gentle love making with tenderness and care? All this business of taking control of your partner and them submitting to your every demand makes you sound like complete control FREAKS to me!! |

Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 05:05PM You don't need a litmus test, ladies, you just need to know that a true dom would have many conversations with you before you get as far as the bedroom. During these conversations it will become obvious how far either of you wishes to go. |
|
mistressprowess - 25 Aug, 2012 - 03:11PM I have spent a month on here searching for someone to take me to the places I want to go emotionally and sexually, to explore the boundaries I am unable to do at home. I created a very honest profile, and it gained far much more interest than I expected. |
|
Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 01:39PM If I tell my lover I want him to be dominant and treat me as his sub, who is the Dom and who is the sub? My lover and I have discussed this in some detail as we both achieve great pleasure in pleasing each other. If I ask him to restrain me he does it because I like it, and pleasing me turns him on, whereas simply restraining me for his pleasure doesn't excite him at all. Likewise, being told to be submissive is a turn off for me, I like to be in charge of my own sensuality. |

Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 12:21PM I'd much rather HE was standing in front of me wearing sexy black lingerie, stockings etc with his hands behind his back while I sip champagne contemplating exactly how he's going to pleasure me. |
|
Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 11:31AM I would definitely submit. An ex-lover introduced me to a side of my sexuality I had never explored before. The sex was mind blowing and I haven't had anything like it since. There is also the trust and emotional connection that comes with... On the other hand, The Fifty Shades trilogy is awful (a friend loaned them to me once she had finished reading them) and I must admit to being disappointingly underwhelmed reading them. Not a realistic depiction at all. |

Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 08:47AM The 1st man I met on IE started off as an amazing lover but has unearthed my submissive side, he is not a 'Dom' and I am not a 'Sub', however things are certainly hotting up.....He has never hurt me and has never restrained me, he says he doesnt need to as I am a girl and do just as he asks[although the thought of him putting me over his.....ummmm] |
|
Anonymous User - 25 Aug, 2012 - 07:08AM One lady here says that the Dominant always has the power, but it must be remembered that each submissive is unique and will desire different pleasures (some including pain), mostly with boundaries. A true Dominant will have the power, will push those boundaries to their limits but will never cross them. The submissive always has the power to stop any play but should never need to use it; the Dominant will be able to read the sub missives responses responses and not take play too far. |

CherryPie76 - 24 Aug, 2012 - 11:02PM Whilst I think the 50 Shades books were trite, at least they've allowed people to talk about bondage in a more open way. |
|
Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 10:40PM Fifty shades is not only very badly written and repetitive it gives no insight into the depth of D/s relationships and paints a dangerous picture of what a Dom is. |
|
Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 09:37PM 50 Shades of Grey is the most boring read EVER! Each to their own but what scares me is that all men now think that all women want a "dom" kind of lover and this really isn't the case! Yes, a confident assertive lover is a good thing but he doesn't have to be 'dominant' .... if the chemistry is there then everything else will follow. So please guys, don't think that we all want to be cuffed to the bed and told what to do and when to do it! |

Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 07:43PM I am an (occasional) submmissive but extremely feisty hence why Dominants like me. It's the taming they like. A Dominant/Master/Sir cannot dominate withouut the submissive submitting. Ultimately the submissive is in charge. I would love to find a man that is a true Dominant such as xxDominantxx and not a nasty, bully who enjoys hurting women. I was in that dark place and luckily got out but I fell hook, line and sinker. He was a `want to be Dom'. I don't like the phrase "wannabe". It slightly irks me that so many profiles are popping up with names such as Shades of Grey or Mr Grey etc. etc. It's not case of just caning a behind, it goes much deeper, and mainly mental. I was lucky I got out and feel I wasted 6 years of my life with him. He was what you call a "want to be Dom". xxDominantxx sounds genuine and the real deal. I hope he finds a lovely lady. I have already been in touch with him explaining what I went through etc, and about my experience and he was lovely in his response to me. |

Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 12:38PM My relationship from here started as a "vanilla" one and as we have relaxed with each other we have explored the master/submissive idea. It has been the best sexual relationship of my life, we are still exploring the depth that sexual pleasures can take, taking it one step at a time as I was nervous to begin with. It has kept our relationship alive and exciting. We started to explore before the grey trilogy. We are on year 3 after meeting here & very happy. So I would giggle yes, my heart would race & I would know how much pleasure I am about to experience & give back. Anyone thinking of trying this should, after all you only live once, don't miss this experience!! |

Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 12:02PM Am I truly a submissive...

At that I giggled and then, thanks to my daydreaming, I missed my train! For me, submission is not an all or nothing deal. I have a strong submissive streak but it is not all I can or want to be. The warnings of your previous letter still apply; finding the right dynamic is crucial regardless of the extent to which a girl wants to explore. |

Anonymous User - 24 Aug, 2012 - 01:58AM As a Dom, I find the ladies like the idea but the actual leap of faith is something else, it takes a lot of trust, just to give yourself to someone. Of course there are different levels of Dom or is that Doms, not sure that is cat food!! A lady might think she wants that, a book that helped that idea, but the actual thought of being a Sub to a Dom or Master is something else. IE could add a category, different levels of Dom, or Master, it would give a Dom a base to start, rather than starting from scrach, if you know the playing field, it easy to start the match, cat food and football, and Doms, that is IE for you. |
