i. This is all kabeyk's fault. She made me. Honest.

ii. I realise that this is a rather frivolous way of discussing the matter, and that it's really a lot more complicated than that. But, well. I'm curious. Humour me, please?

should there not be a domme option? or do you just enjoy inflicting the pain?

I've been practicing BDSM for 4 years, and in a monogamous BDSM relationship with my husband for almost 2. I'm a switch and a sadist and masochist. Being a top or Domme does not neccesarily entail being a sadist as well. In my experience top and Domme are mostly interchangable terms.

BDSM practices can vary drastically from person to person, and a lot depends on the relationship between the Dom and sub.

I don't know wildestranger well enough to make a guess at what she is, but it's certainly an interesting poll.

I'm glad you found it so! I'm aware that I am hugely ignorant of what this world entails, but it seems like a most fascinating place. And thank you also for clarifying the terms, as I would have had no idea, but that's very interesting. :)

Oh, you don't want to get me started on BDSM, I'll talk *forever*. I love talking about it, and teaching it to anyone who will listen to me. If you're ever interested, or want to know more about it, I'd be glad to give you whatever info you want.

I'm glad I didn't freak you out by randomly commenting in your journal. I ran across it while looking for HP fics, and love your stuff. Your flist has also been a wealth of good reading. Feel free to friend me, or not, as you see fit... I post in fits and spurts, and mostly about boring crap.
