ORIGINAL: notaregularboy Hello, A/all. I'm very new to the BDSM scene, and well, since this thread isn't really an "introduction", I thought it'd be better suited for this forum. I'll try my best to keep this from sounding like a depressed teenage rant. I'm an eighteen year old submissive male seeking feminization. However, I've been taught for years (yes, I was a minor and had "cybersex" ) that being a submissive meant having low self esteem, and being a m2f submissive meant that my life should center around "getting big tits" and "sucking cock". I don't think this is really what I want to get into if that's all being a submissive is. Am I really missing something? No, you're not. In fact, you show a great deal more intelligence than those who have "taught" you. Ds and Ms relationships don't have to be about sex at all; they can solely be based on non-sexual service. And, not only that, but you get to keep your back bone, your self-esteem and your sense of self worth. Now, about your profile: Expecting someone else to transform you into what YOU want to be is unhealthy. If YOU want to be female, YOU work on transforming yourself. It has nothing to do with a Ds relationship...or any relationship. It has everything to do with you being true to yourself and taking responsibility for who you are and what you want. If you're looking for someone to "force" you into doing it, simply own up to what it is that you want and do it yourself. "Forcing" is fun for the occassional scene, but 24/7 forcing is abusive if only for the fact that it enables someone to continue to deny their real selves by relying on someone else for emotional and psychological approval. Relying on someone for direction and guidance for the decisions you make for yourself is a different animal. A note about "force" and personal power: No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, unless you give them that power. When you give away your personal power, you are giving away yourself. Personal power and authority are two different things. You have the right to always maintain your personal power even when you give someone else authority over your life. Should you choose to transfer authority of your life to someone, i.e. a Dominant, you don't HAVE to transfer that personal power. That doesn't mean that you can't, only that you don't have to. I'm sure that there are people who will disagree with me, but I feel that it's psychologically harmful for anyone to give up their personal power. Again, giving up authority is another matter all together. quote:
I don't really know what to do. I'm trying to learn about D/s, but it seems that everybody who seems interested in me is just wanting sex. I want more than that. Is that so wrong? Is there anyone out there who is actually "real"? YOU need to educate yourself rather than relying on someone else to hand you the information. This is a process of becoming self-aware and developing responsibility for your own life and actions. In this way, you have a life that a Dominant will find worth having authority over at some point. You've alread got a sense of the kind of Dominant that wants to own something worthless. If you make yourself a jewel, in amongst your choices you will find a Master Jeweler. I recommend these books as a start: SM 101 by Jay Wiseman Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns by Molly Devon Loving Dominant by John Warren Ties that Bind by Guy Baldwin Slavecraft by Guy Baldwin The Path of Service by Christina Parker As you go through these things, answer Dnomyar's question: what do you REALLY want? Write it down. No answer is wrong. Then, write down what you have to offer. No answer is wrong there, either. Keep visiting us, asking and answering questions. Most of us are pretty decent people. Some of us, know what we're talking about. However, nothing we say is written in stone; take what works for you and toss the rest. Even what I have to say. LOL Master Fire I agree completely, as usual, with what MasterFire has advised above. There is one comment in particular I would like to address specifically, and that is your question of what a submissive 'really' is and what it 'means' to be submissive. I want to emphasize that, IMO, there is no definition of what anything means, per se, as I tend to think that something only has value and meaning when we as individuals give something that meaning and value, personally. We each define our identities, our feelings on sexuality, our wants and needs and desires. The very nature of sexuality and identity is a fluid (not static) ever-evolving and developing part of ourselves, and you have every right to seek someone who validates, not invalidates, your feelings and desires. Do not allow others to define you or what it is you identify as or with; instead, seek positive friends and like-minded individuals who will encourage you to think, feel, and grow. Best, ~Thea
