I think it's a matter of the more experienced ones being more in tune with what they (we) want, both in a partner and in ourselves. I'd like to have a Dom, but it's not realistic for me at this time; and like Missokyst said, I'd prefer to be alone than to settle for what I don't want or what won't work for me just to have someone in my life. It's frustrating sometimes, and slightly depressing at other times, but all in all better than being in a relationship for most of the wrong reasons.

TiedDreams -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 10:48:43 AM)
On the surface experience is good; as it can help one clarify who they are and where they wish to go further. Each person I have met helps me understand more of what I want and how to acheive it. It also clarifies what I don't want more of and how to avoid it. Of course as the famous quote goes...life is what happens while we are busy making plans. All relationships are living entities...they evolve in ways we can't predict. Experience at least gives us a foundation to ask better questions at the entry phase. Once we raise anchor and leave the dock I suppose the amount of baggage brought on board may or may not sink the ship... Hmmm...maybe we should be like the airlines and have baggage limits up frront. Now it you can just fit in this carry on box my dear...

Edited to add: Baggage does matter to him, as it does to me. But everyone has baggage so what matters to us it how a person is handling it.

Honestly, not an issue or factor for me personally.

Lumus -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 2:25:20 PM)
Hmm. I've never been with a "virgin sub". All I get is baggage. I like the baggage where they already know how to blow me. I dislike the baggage where they refuse to acknowledge that I have a preference different from what a previous owner taught them. That makes me think of Copy Machines as well.

My question is does it influence your dession to pass them over because they have had a relationship with another Dom/Domme. Oh, so my '15 years' experience in the lifestyle counts for nothing but a dom's 15 years does? Well I wish somebody had a told me...I would play virgin.....

Maya2001 -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 3:22:41 PM)
LOL Doms come with baggage too...... some have been jilted or taken advantage of by a sub or slave and go forward with a chip on their shoulders ....some get into bdsm because of a past wife who basically wore the pants and instead want somebody they can control ... others are in love with a past sub or slave and are constantly talking about or comparing the new sub to the old one...they are not immuned to past relationship problems or experiences. The last dom I was seeing ...I happened to remind him strongly of a past sub of 8 years who he had fell in love with but in the end she decided to go back with her ex husband.. he was still in love with her despite several years passing, every meet he was telling me how special she was, how beautiful she was and was trying to recreate that time with her thru me... I decided to end as I don't want to fill someone elses shoes or constantly be compared to because I am going to fail to measure up to his expectations because I am not her.

kiwisub12 -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 3:35:31 PM)
If people in general wouldn't have a relationship because of a prior relationship, then none of us would date after high school. hehe. Past relationships aren't necessarily a predictor of how a current relationship will go. You are different, and they are different. Past experiences change us, and influence us. Unless the sub/dom is pineing for a past relationship, there is no reason why a new relationship shouldn't work out, if both parties are realistic. After all, communication is paramount (pious grin).

My question is does it influence your dession to pass them over because they have had a relationship with another Dom/Domme. I am very influenced by dominants I have been/am in relationship with. By that I mean both real-time and cyber. And indeed the Dommes. As indeed the subs....all have influenced me. I learn something every single day. It's a never ending process. It's like being in love permanently. OK all you hard hearted skeptics. I love the dynamic. That's it really. What really always amazes me is the way that a 'normal' human beings actiually have this/that kink. They have that unspoken understanding of power exchange as erotic/sexual/attractive/essentail. And then! when that person actually starts to communicate how it is that they like their dynamic to unfold\|: well it's captivating to me (excuse pun). I am truly fascinated. It still catches me out sometimes and I think inwardly: oh you mean it turns you on to do that! Baggage is a cruel word. It conjures up concepts such as heaviness, excess, old, and is a word that emerged as a catchphrase of experiential trainings of the late seventies and early eighties. It's a pity. I really wish we didn't have oppositional, dualistic, genderised language. Can't think of a word for it, but I need a word to express experience as meaning the same a readiness.....do you catch my meaning? Poise......something like that......

Real_Trouble -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 5:21:19 PM)
I would say "it depends". What really matters is what the person is like, and how they act. Experience and / or inexperience is often not a good predictor of that kind of thing; practice makes permanent, as one of my friends says. So it depends what you are experienced with, and how you regard it. In short, I have no hard and fast rule, and try to evaluate each person as I see them. There are people who are 'experienced' in ways where they clearly are dysfunctional (and at fault for it) that I want nothing to do with; there are inexperienced people who are clearly naive twits. There are also people who are experienced who have learned valuable things and are thus quite compelling, and inexperienced people who clearly have potential and perspective already. Could go in any number of directions. It depends.

quote: I asked thequestion because I see a lot of subs floating around with nowhere to go. Dnomyar, you need to start a nice safe haven home for wayward sluts. You have an adorable smile and a face like a monk, they will trust you. (Damnit, now you got my monastary fantasies going again!) If you won't do it, i think i'll have to try to talk Master into it. What better way to find a nice sister or 3 or 32 then to have a whole safehouse full of them, all trusting us and turning to us for protection and security, and all needing a good beating!

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 6:34:14 PM)
You think Ray has a face like a MONK? [sm=biggrin.gif] He reminds me of the janitor who has something "special" in his closet...... but not in a bad way!

MidMichCowboy -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 6:46:09 PM)
I don't really care what their experience level is. I'm looking for someone to live the rest of my life with. There are a lot of things that are important: Can you live with a damn pinko liberal (well ... I've been called it enough .. I just consider myself a passionate Democrat) Do you love umms and consider them a trust? (I have 5 from 7 to 22 ... most important thing in my life). Can we carry on a conversation about things ranging from politics to philosophy to religion .. AND ENJOY IT? Can you accept me with all my faults and see what is good in me? Can we love each other? Will I be enough for you (and I expect you to be enough for me)? Can you live in the country? Do you like wine and good food? Can you or do you want to learn to ride horse? Can you put up with my barbarian? Can we be open enough about our needs to satisfy each other? These and many other things are the most important. Previous experience is actually meaningless. I'm not who you were with before and you are not who I was with before. So, its all new.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 6:50:15 PM)
Michael, the SECOND you get over this absurd notion that you want a submissive, CALL ME. You can even spank me and tie me up! As long as you don't mind that I laugh....

MasterFireMaam -> RE: Copy Machine (5/21/2008 10:58:06 PM)
No, it doesn't. In fact, it makes a statement about them if they've been able to have and maintain a relationship for a significant amount of time (that being defined as two-three years min for me). That being said, I'm not against being that first relationship, either. Master Fire

My question is does it influence your dession to pass them over because they have had a relationship with another Dom/Domme. People on this site who have never been in a D/s relationship are uncommon so what do you expect to see here? Why concentrate so much on whether the submissive is affected by her past in a guilt ridden or other negative way. The odds are she isn’t anymore than you are affected by your past. Why make her feel guilty when she probably doesn’t? To ask if Doms should consider passing over these submissives is judgmental and assigns a negative, downbeat aspect to them because of their pasts. Look inward.
