Oy vey! What have I come back to?
Okay, clearly it would be a clusterfuck to try to quote everyone, so
I'll try to address all points without doing so (if I miss anything, feel
free to let me know).
1) As soon as I saw the guy, I was not attracted to him physically. He
didn't look like his photos. However, I knew from his online profile that
we did share some things in common, so I wanted to give him the benefit
of the doubt, and just try to enjoy some conversation.
2) Our conversation never got sexual. Perhaps I was naive in thinking he
wouldn't get sexual ideas when I told him about Lee. Either way, he wasn't
creepy in that I thought he was going to feel me up, he was just too touchy-
feely in more of an affectionate way, which is something I'm never comfortable
with on a first date.
3) I always assume that people on the forum know that Lee and I are both
heterosexual. My apologies for not making that clear. I'm sure many of you
think I/we are in denial about that, but the truth is that Lee collared me while
I was still married to my ex-husband (we were separated). I'm not one to have
a sexual relationship with anyone (male or female) while I'm married, and I considered
myself to be married until the day the divorce was final. One of the biggest things that
drew me to Lee was that she, too, was straight, and I could experience a caring, loving
D/s relationship with the sexual aspect completely removed.
4) I've had some good conversations on first dates from guys I've met on OKC. Many
guys I've talked to who are vanilla (both online and off) are intrigued by the idea of
a D/s relationship, and at least are interested enough to learn about it. I know that
doesn't necessarily mean they would like being in a relationship with someone who is
in a D/s.
5) I'm just not attracted physically to switch or submissive men. However, I would
be just as happy with a vanilla man who was okay with my D/s, as I would with a
Dominant male who was happy sharing. I just don't want to compete with my partner
for my Domme's attention. I don't see anything wrong with that.
6) I know plenty of people (not on the TMF) who have both a Dominant and a vanilla
spouse. I don't know of any who aren't sexual with both, and therein lies my unique
requirement.
I hope that covers everything.
Drew and Nostra, good to see you haven't forgotten us over here 😉
