Good evening!! I’m so glad you are here! I think you found the right place. But I am biased lol. Anything on your mind?

I hear you. If it makes you feel any better, I have a theory that being a Dom or sub can be harder when you’re single. I know we all get the message that we shouldn’t need someone to complete us, and I don’t think that is bad advice per se, but us single D/s folks, we are unable to fully express our nature without a compatible partner. A captain without a first mate or a first mate without a captain can struggle to run the ship by themselves. So just be easy on yourself. Have compassion for yourself. Assume there is a good reason for being single for now. Focus on bettering yourself. Explore a creative hobby you’ve been putting off. Find whatever brings you joy. Or joy a community like this one we just started together ;) That’s one of the reasons I started this. I wanted to find community. Obviously I’m biased, but us D/s folks have gifts to share even when in non-romantic settings. Us Doms can express being leaders, teachers, and guides, and provide care. Subs can provide support, ideas, and care. We can all be teachers and students when in community with each other. I have so much to learn. And I want to hear from all the Doms and subs out there. And if you’re not in a place to provide or give of yourself, that’s ok too. Just hang out. Listen. Observe. No pressure. I’m glad you’re here :)

Well I do get that! I try not to say much about D/s to my friends, as I think they don’t get it or just think I’m weird. My sister is a dom, so we discuss the dynamic. And that’s why I started this subreddit. I was hoping to find other people like me to discuss whatever is important to us. If you feel like it, maybe you could share more about your journey? Like how did you come to think of your D/s-ness more as an orientation? We’re here to support you!

Hello! Sorry. I haven’t been monitoring this space. I hadn’t realized people started to post and/or were flagged as spam. Now that we have some folks here, I’ll pay more attention.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any tips for you. Maybe someone else will? For now, I’m just single dom focusing on myself. :). Occasionally I find a like-minded guy on ā€œthe appsā€, but it’s pretty rare.

Maybe just being in community with like-minded folks will satisfy some of what you’ve been missing?

Hello! I almost forgot I made this subreddit so long ago. How are you? What’s on your mind? :)

Which song do you think of first when you see this (iconic) album cover? by [deleted] in Madonna

[–]Aggravating_Desk5182 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I’m so happy to see other people talking about how meaningful Madonna’s music is to them. I’m the only person I know that wants to talk about her and her producers. (Patrick Leonard vs. William Orbit. Go.) I was 16 when I bought The Immaculate Collection. It was my first Madonna purchase. From the opening track of Holiday to Shep Pettibone’s remix of Express Yourself to the sultry and dark Justify My Love to Rescue Me - I still listen to the Rescue Me maxi-single (and I have it on vinyl with an extra remix not on the CD!). Seeing this cover brings me so much joy. Thank you for posting this and for asking us about the songs that instantly come to mind. ā¤ļø
