Bloody hell! I have a night out and the post suddenly explodes! Do you always talk about people behind their backs you lot?!? :-P Anyway, after much much thought and soul searching, it's decision time. I've read and studied these posts and a few PMs several times, thank you everybody so much for taking the time to reply, your advice has helped no end and is something I will draw on in the future for a long time to come. Im not going to put a mini reply to everything here otherwise this will run and run. Just a few things I wanted to respond to though: quote:
ORIGINAL: SayaNereida Your answer spoke of judgement of and while that may in fact end up being a part of (or the end result of) your over all feelings (ie: I don't trust *** because ...), what are your initial feelings? My thought on this question is that in asking it, you are trying to determine whether you are ok with your own desires; ie: if you can accept it from/of someone else, then you can accept it within yourself. The problem is one can accept others completely and others can accept you completely, but that doesn't mean you have self acceptance. So I suppose my question is: What do you find acceptable or unacceptable about your choice and why? With respect, Saya Very very good question. I think I have self-acceptance, but obviously i don't. Not fully anyway. Why...? I think the pieces are slowly coming together a little. I am a musician in a band and in many ways, I am top / master come to think about it. People know me well, know I have the highest standards and respect me for that. I strive to bring out the best in all those around me with any guidance and encouragement I can offer. Anything shoddy or incompetent or people simply not giving 100%, I go berserk at them. We all make mistakes and I have come to accept different people have different limits and those are the boundaries to work within. But I always try to push them and make them a better musician. Maybe I'm not quite as sub as I thought ? But anyway, whats that got to do with anything? One of my traits which Im increasingly starting to think is a weakness is that I am or try to be an absolute perfectionist. I'll fine with less than perfection from others as long as it's not from a lack of effort or desire, no problem. I don't tolerate it from myself quite as easily as that. Whist I am far from perfect, and have yet to have a day where I am perfect, it does constantly piss me off that we don't live in a perfect world, and there's nothing I can do to improve or change it. That probably applies within my own little shell and deep deep down am I subconciously kicking my own arse that I have found another imperfection in myself? quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyLolly Question: Is it normal/typical for you to work yourself into a tizzy for other new experiences? Job interviews? A blind date? Minor surgery? In some cases maybe, but rarely. But again thinking about it, it's only usually when other people are directly involved and there's a risk of me not living up to the standard I have set myself. I tend not to be too annoyed if its just something with or for myself only, but nothing AT ALL disturbs me more than letting people down in any shape or form. Very much another story but the last couple of years have seen massive change enforced on me and my lifestyle for various reasons. Even now, that's not something I have fully accepted and I am fighting against it daily, adapting as little as I can, despite the stakes being as high as they could possibly be. I know with absolute certainty that it's a fight I can't win, but I would generally rather go down with my boots on and my finger up in the air rather than hiding under the table or whatever. There are some sides of me where submission needs to be forced, because otherwise, it just isnt there. quote:
ORIGINAL: TallDarkAndWitty Personally, I think a pro-domme is a great way for a new male sub to figure some things out. If the draw to this is more than just wank fodder... Hehe, no dude it's not. There's plenty of freebies out there and that would be one expensive wank!! Im crap with money matters and finances, but not that bad! quote:
ORIGINAL: Pandoran I've never posted on here before but as a fellow sub I just have to say it: GOOD GOD!!! GET OVER YOURSELF!!! If you are so self-absorbed how will you ever be a good sub for your domme?! And furthermore, sexuality is a natural part of the universe. I'm taking my own advice as well so as not to be a hypocrite. Enough said. Thank you for the post and the advice. Have a nice day. quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyPact No offense to the OP, but I've never understood why anyone would seek out a pro first, rather than a good old-service top. As a matter of fact I didnt. I registered on another site as well as this one, and got a nice welcome message from her. She identified me as new to the site and in her proximity, and invited me to have a look at her profile. I did, I liked what I saw, we told each other some more about ourselves and it went from there really. All within a few hours. Looking back, I think I threw myself into the role which is great until all of a sudden the penny drops... *whoa!! Stop, this is NOT a game, this is reality now, do you know what the hell you are doing? Is this why you are here? Is this what you want? Are you sure?* Being curious and looking at pro dommes is one thing, but did I ever have any intention of seeking a pro? No I dont think so, it just seemed to be one of those opportunities that pops up from time to time, a lot like MaamJay's tiger. And finally the bottom line.... quote:
ORIGINAL: MistressVnus These are questions only you can answer. If you don't feel ready. Don't do it. The perfect summary. Ive done more soul searching and learnt more about myself in the last 72 hours than I have in my life. Ive done lots of things right and Ive done lots of things wrong. I can be very impulsive and the more time I have to think about something, the more I will worry and pull it to pieces. If everything had happened the same day or near as, then this would be a completely different thread. I don't know what or why but something about this within me just doesn't feel right, and I am obviously far from ready. As such I will now send a grovelling and genuinely apologetic email to cancel. I will hopefully word it well enough to leave the door open for one day in the future, perhaps. Not too sure where to go from here now, but at the moment, this isn't the way forward for me. Thank you again everybody for taking the time to reply. J
