I've recently come to the realization that sometimes I like to be told what to do by my man.

Not just like : but like:

It's a little disturbing; not so much that I like it but in trying to explain it. Because, yes, I do like dominant men but I pretty much hate the attitudes of most men I've ever met who are in the bdsm lifestyle. They tend to be hypocrital bullies and I don't need that in my life.

So how could I "not need that in my life" when my knees are still weak from one man's simple, somewhat joking, order that was given hours ago?

errr.....

I think it's mainly this: BDSM , D/s, etc. persons are generally focused on their own needs, wants, and desires. Even the ones who claim to be submissive or slaves, are still doing it because it turns them on to be treated a certain way and they'll mostly serve anyone who will treat them that way. So, it's about getting what you want, and .. that doesn't mean that they don't love, don't connect on other wave lengths, but there is always that Superior/inferior vibe.

I like dominant men: confident, thoughtful, industrious, get things done kind of men. However, I also like the same kind of women. No, not sexually, just in general. .

I don't like "Dominant" men: I am not a pet to be trained for their pleasure, not mentally inferior, not of a sex that was made of less import by God on high, and there is nothing anyone could ever say that would make me think I am.

Therefore, I don't want a man who blusters and says that he is better than me or thinks because he has a penis and I don't that it makes him somehow more special.

I want a man who knows he is more special to me, than other men; who knows that if he has needs, wants, or desires he can and should express them, The sort of man whom if he sees what is best to do will do it, and if he's wrong will admit it, and who has the trust and confidence in me to know that if he does either, I will be there for him as he is there for me.

I read an article on being "taken in hand" versus bdsm. I find the fact that someone has created a whole new philosophy to explain the basic dynamics of marriage and men/women connections a bit tedious - that they should have to - but it's a good article in that it explains the difference between what I actually like and what most people assume I want when I say that I do like dominant men.

What it says is that the "taken in hand" philosophy stresses mutual pleasure, mutual enjoyment, sharing; it's about two people caring for each other and creating something together that works for them. Where the man is the head of the house, head of the family, but as a lover who nurtures and supports that family, not just lords it over them. .

A little quote that expresses the major differences between dominant vs Dom:

It's sort of sad that so many ‘dominant’ men don't see this. In assuming that the woman is there primarily to serve the man, and thinking that they can just get what they want by enforcing it or micromanaging, they make it impossible for the woman to get her own needs met, This can stifle the woman's spirit. She can become weak, dependent and unhappy. In the long run, this will only become a burden to the man and probably cause the relationship to end.

So, hmm .. it's come to my attention that I really do like to be told what to do, at least on some things and at some times, by people who really love me. I think the difference is that, knowing they really love me, it's not about someone pushing me around, it's about someone putting their trust in me that I will hear them and want to please them.

Wow ! Didn't you realize that he could be dominate at the beginning, when you both met ? I would think there were some hints along the way, to make you realize that is the case. Maybe, I am wrong. But you can pretty much tell by their personality. Sorry to hear this !

I'm not sure what you are on about now, Benjamin .. maybe you should read it again. Because I said I liked it and I said why I liked it, what the difference was, and nothing in there said he was the bullying type or, in fact, anything about him specifically past the point of him making a joking sort of order.

I can't stand to be told what to do, nor would I ever be in a BDSM or D/S lifestyle which I do know alot about. I would never want to hold back a women, I want to see her dreams become real, i want her thoughts to be acknowledged, I want to see her beautiful mind take me place where I wouldn't have gone if she didn't so want to share them with me.

I want her to see all same things I mention with me.

Now, I am not saying your wrong or anyone who choose to live that life style is wrong, its not what I would want for me or my woman. We are adults and we are using the great gift God gave us, freewill.

To me nurturing isn't any form of controlling and niether is love.

Love is simply the greatest source of energy mankind will ever know and why we all so strive toward it. That is why I wouldn't dare try to hold back any women, I want her to know she is adored,loved, cherished and thought about often when she isn't around.

Though I do wish the best for you and your happiness

ok, well, umm
I enjoy some aspects....
but not all...
and... welll..
I am not sure if I can explain it..
lol

If it's in a safe/loving manner, I do like a man to order me...if you've read my erotica story in my blog, it's a little obvious, hehe.
I understand how you feel, I don't want some crazy control freak.
BUT I do like when a man can give me an order and turn me on like no other!

If u want people to be clear about your message in your blog you don't have to write a long one and make it see like you could go either way or you like some element of it.

You want proof, look at what jen said in just a few lines.

I didn't say that u love that lifestyle, I wrote alot about how I wouldn't go there and the reasons why. Ending with this: Though I do wish the best for you and your happiness.

So I say unto you with your own words: Good Lord: Can anyone read?????

Yes Ed I can read and what I did read quite loud and clear was this

Now, I am not saying your wrong or anyone who choose to live that life style is wrong, its not what I would want for me or my woman.

Which implies that I am included in the people of that lifestyle .. .so there .. and once again: bite me!

Which also sounds like a bit of that lifestyle, but it's so not!

And, yes, sorry, but I did have to because I wasn't writing a short comment to someone else's blog so it makes no sense to compare her short comment to my blog. If I had just said

ok, well, umm
I enjoy some aspects....
but not all...
and... welll..
I am not sure if I can explain it..

without any more explanation as to what I was talking about, it certainly wouldn't have been better writing as no one would have any frigging clue where I was coming from at all. So yes, it's a great comment she made .. but it wouldn't have been too much of a good blog. Rather exciting, but not very clear at all.

This, however, should have been pretty clear to anyone who chose to read the blog:

Because, yes, I do like dominant men but I pretty much hate the attitudes of most men I've ever met who are in the bdsm lifestyle. They tend to be hypocrital bullies and I don't need that in my life.

And it was very clear to at least two women and possibly one man who emailed me and told me his viewpoint.
