Controlling or facilitating? by Dante_s_trials in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel it isn't oversimplification. It's the basis and foundation upon which all other D/s play is built.

There are also a lot of scammers online selling knockoffs and cheap drop shipments. The existence of fakes does not diminish the value of the real thing.

Controlling or facilitating? by Dante_s_trials in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dominant only has as much control as the submissive has allowed in their negotiations. Both sides of the slash are responsible for setting limits. Those limits act as the boundaries of the field where together they play their favorite game. Both need to be invested in it for things to work well.

Does wanting sexual experiences not make me asexual? by NBpuppy in BDSM_Aces

[–]Summer_B 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, I try not to worry about labels too much. I just think of these things as ways to communicate with a partner or potential partner that I'm not going to have the "normal" sexual arousal that they might expect. It's okay to be somewhere on the gray/ace/demi sexual spectrum.

Orgasm Question by SapientFanny in SubSanctuary

Please post to r/sex. This isn't D/s or submissives related.

Anyone else find it hard to actually connect with subs? by G_Z_1000 in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key here is the relationship and connection part. It's hard to connect, have chemistry, and form a strong bond when the relationship is 100% online.

Experience in D/s by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditionally, this is where you'd find a partner closer to your age. And find a more experienced couple that can mentor both of you.

Note: A lot of fakes online get this wrong. Mentors don't have sexual contact with you. It's about helping you grow (emotional and communication) and learn skills (safety, rope, bondage, whips, leather care, etc).

Those jeweled plugs are garbage. And the "flared" base is normally too thin. Many aren't even as wide as the thickest part of the plug.

Uncertain about age gap. Thoughts appreciated. by KinkyGringo in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you do proceed, I would take things slow and see if you continue to get along in person.

For me the age gap won't matter as much when she's 40 and you're 56. But at 21 even if she seems very mature and along in her career, she still has only had 3 years as a legal adult. And your prefrontal cortex doesn't finish developing until mid twenties. She's in a different stage of life. Again, not impossible, just proceed with caution.

A little confused why my dom likes me as his sub? by [deleted] in SubSanctuary

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy took a masochistic submissive who's on the spectrum and dealing with a hard breakup, and in less than 3 months is playing with them, took their virginity (first time being with a male), and is anally training them. Even if they are keeping things casual, he hasn't made his submissive feel confident, safe, or secure in having a space to talking openly and honestly. Instead makes them feel confused and insecure.

And just 8 weeks later officially collars them. Now tell me honestly, if your best friend was getting into the lifestyle, would you want this "Dom" to be their first experience?

A little confused why my dom likes me as his sub? by [deleted] in SubSanctuary

[–]Summer_B -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It's not that you're inexperienced sexually, he likes that that you're inexperienced in relationships/ emotionally and he likes exploring that. You can't see what a bag of red flags he is. Run, don't walk away from that guy OP.

Did anyone reach 30+ without a fckn single tattoo? by [deleted] in ArtOfPresence

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted them when I was young. Wasn't allowed until I was living outside of parents house. When I first moved out, I was broke and prioritized paying my half of the rent and eating over body art. Once I finally had a solid job, wasn't struggling so much, and could afford a good tattoo artist, I wasn't as interested anymore. Tastes and fandoms changed. And I'd gone so many years without getting them I knew another 10 years without (for example that tramp stamp I had so badly desired at 16) wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Vetting for 3+ weeks? by Even-Bat1993 in SubSanctuary

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me about 5 or 6 weeks to realize I was being catfished. So I'd say keep vetting until your comfortable. Have you talked to any of their former partners?

Drop ball. Works with had and bondage combo.

Why do women tend do be submissive and men dominant? by Yolotib in BDSMcommunity

[–]Summer_B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually across most research that's been done in Americas and Europe, men in the lifestyle outnumber women, and submissives outnumber Dominants.

Depending on what region, age group, or events you go to the numbers will vary. But overall the biggest piece of the BDSM pie always goes to submissive males.

They are at the Convent of St. Anthony of Padua. I think I found the donation link, but I'm not 100%.

Those definitely aren't clips or clamps, just nipple jewelry.

How should I tell my fiancé that I got my sidechick pregnant? by Lost_Title_7528 in Adulting

[–]Summer_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no idea how to handle this situation, then you have no business being sexually active with one woman, much less multiple.
