I broached the subject
before but it came up on MF again, even if it was in a slightly different
context…
Let’s just assume that
a guy keeps telling his Domme that he is exclusive to her and keeps on boring
her out of her latex clothes by telling her how utterly devoted he is to her
and that he would never ever see somebody else, she’s the only one, blah blah…
(I know what you think, BS as usual).
Guy then uses “one and
only Domme” as a reference when he is trying to see another Domme , of course
he doesn’t tell his Domme (yeah, you know the “one and only one”) about that,
and so she finds out that he’s a liar and used her name… To top it all off he
even used a different name and then freaked out because she didn’t remember
(yeah, if you want a reference as Joe and she only knows you as Mike….).
Result, she kicks him
to the curb, other Domme also refuses to see him, dumped client first tries to
pretend, both had a fight over him, because he’s so wonderful and gets blasted
by both Dommes, who have no beef with each other but both don’t really fancy
seeing a liar.
Mr. Dumped who decided
to quit the scene, like FOREVER (drama llama alert), comes back the next day
and complains loudly that he needs to find another Domme, and how tragic it is
that his old Domme is losing income and a regular customer (yes, he’s talking
about HIMSELF).
Am I the only one who
finds it funny that he pretends to be worried about the income of somebody who
doesn’t want him as a client?
Is anybody really
surprised that said guy is now bugging both Dommes so much that they feel
stalked?
I have my own views on
exclusivity in a professional relationship, as long as you are happy with it,
fine, but we aren’t married, I’m not going to stop seeing other guys for
sessions, it’s your money, so it would be kinda hypocritical to expect you to
not ever look at another Domme. I mean, if the sessions are great and you’re
enjoying them, chances are that you don’t want to see another Domme. I’m not
against it, but I see this whole exclusivity thing as a dangerous sword.
Because BDSM is pretty intense and a lot of you guys go to pro Dommes because
you have no other outlet, it’s condensed and pretty heady stuff. Like having a
glass of wine after a long period of abstinence, it’s going to your head and it
might cloud your vision.
Often enough you guys
get a bit too attached and we have to disentangle, since nobody wants to have
“the talk” (chances are you feel rejected and your feelings are hurt that I
don’t want you for myself exclusively), I’ll be a sneaky bitch and claim that I
won’t have time but there’s this marvellous other Domme and you should really
see her…
Basically what you’ll
realize is that we might have great chemistry, but yeah, there are other Dommes
out there, that we’re not doing something magical, but that you are getting
your kinks met (and hopefully I’ll have some fun – well I better do because
otherwise I won’t be seeing you again, buster).
You know, I also
really enjoy hearing about experiences you had with other Dommes, how you
reacted and all that, it might inspire me to try something new. Or there is the
chance that you really want to try something that I’m simply not into and if
I’m not into it, I just won’t do it, so why shouldn’t you have that experience
with somebody else?
What you shouldn’t do
is lie to me about it, pretend you don’t want to see anybody else and then
through the grapevine I hear who you have seen, where and when. You know what,
tell me and I’ll actually might set up the date for you and I can guarantee
you, a referral from another Domme WORKS, like a charm.
It’s actually in my
own interest if I recommend you to somebody and it’s a great experience for
you, helps you to trust me a bit more, so our sessions get better, you come
back “fresh”, imagine I recommend somebody who I know you don’t like and you
have a horrible session – what is going to happen is you don’t want to session
for a while and you have a bad feeling about sessions in general, so I have to
work much harder…
I know, I know, I am
beating that old horse to death, but guys, a bit of honesty never harmed
anybody…
And for exclusivity –
you’re possibly married and your wife doesn’t know that you see me, not my
business to judge, it’s YOUR relationship, but you’re sneaking around her – do you
really need a Domme who wants you to swear fidelity to her?
Hi Constanze:
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure that a system of referrals is a very good idea. Personal feelings are bound to come up and get in the way. I think it's fine if a client wants to see one pro exclusively. The problems arise when a Domme requires exclusivity. No way would I have felt comfortable asking my former Mistress if I could use her as a reference. She was extremely possessive. I would say a session deposit was a better way of protecting a Domme from flakes and no shows. A system of referrals would be fine if everyone could just act like adults and realize that these are professional relationships. But how often have we actually seen that happen? ;-)
True that, but due to the unique legal situation in the US, I think Dommes want to rely on referrals.
DeleteApart from it not being very adult, it's freaking bad for business, come on, which guy wants to deal with somebody who's not exclusive but demands that he is? Just doesn't make any sense.
