ORIGINAL: littlesarbonn (responded to just the last post, not to the content of the last post) What I'm finding interesting about this thread is something that's being hinted at but not said, spoken around but not solidified. The first post asks if someone would be interested in spending time with a well trained submissive. A lot of responses have indicated a negative response, stating that they would not want to have to go through the work of "retraining" this submissive. This brings up a really significant question to me then. Having been owned before and trained several times by several different dominants, does that make me LESS suitable now as a submissive because I'm already used baggage that's been trained and would take too much time for someone to have to go through all of that labor when she could start off fresh with a new subbie from the "Just in" selection they got in at Wal Mart? Because having read the responses in this thread, it gives me the impression that if I ever want to attract a potential partner again, I may have to lie my ass off and say I've had zero experience as a submissive or slave and that I'm all wide eyed and bushy tailed to learn these new things that I have no idea of what they might be. I'm finding this thought very interesting, and quite reflective on what I perceive may be one of the problems I may have been observing. That isn't so. If a submissive told me he was trained and approached me correctly it WOULD get my attention. If he followed the steps it WOULD get them in the door. What he did after he got there would determine if he stayed or not. Training is really hard work or at least what I expect from training. If someone is even part of the way there I'm all over that! lol Damn right I get paid or receive tribute (in some form or another) for training. I do not train for free hardly EVER. If they want to exchange something thats fine too but I will be damn if I'll exhast myself over a slave that might not even be there in 2 weeks. Even the slaves I have that HAVE reached the level of spending time, visits, me visiting them, etc. contribute to my lifestyle. Damn right and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is not about money but a question to see if I could turn on some super nice guys to women that might like to try something new. I can relate to the idea that there's no such thing as a free lunch for a submissive vying for the time of a busy dominant women. I get so many emails all offering service, there's simply no way to weed out those that are serious vs. those that want an instant fix. One of the easiest ways to cut down on that by 50% I have found is just tell them to email me in 10 days with a detailed introduction - most forget about it. They want instant gratification. But regardless, there must be some exception to the rule, a man you are interested enough in that you will not require him to go through the same process? I can see that it makes sense when approached with one liners or blind offers of submission, ("I want to be your slave. How can I serve you?") - but when a man really interests you on a deep enough level that you *want* him to keep pursuing, isn't it worth mutual effort? There's a guy on this site I am smitten with right now, and I can't *stand* it if I don't get an email from him once a day. I am going slow and careful and don't want to screw it up, because I want nothing more than to take this to the next level. I don't require him to wait a week to email me, join my web site, or do anything else to prove anything; I'm the one sending him a gift next week. Sometimes, it's fun to be the one doing the courting, and I always leave myself open to that possibility if the right treasure comes along. Now, that doesn't mean he gets a free ride from at least 50% of the work, and since I work hard, he has to work hard also. No lazy subs are allowed. He does everything I ask him to do, he makes time when I need, and he has followed my tasks up until this point; but when interest is there, it's not "training" so much (as in, the guy is interchangable), it's pleasurable (for me) because it's in my way, to push my buttons. I guess the other thing is that a guy doesn't ask for things out of the gate in terms of his own fantasies, which immediately puts me in a "what's in it for me?" mode (when, clearly, there's nothing in it for me, if I don't know him or have a connection).
