It also shows that every relationship in the lifestyle is different but the basic fundamentals of healthy BDSM relationships remain the same.Sherri Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303173531928181614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-58617250136448384582015-01-28T16:39:13.823-08:002015-01-28T16:39:13.823-08:00I couldn't disagree more.

While my series doesn't center around male submissives, it does include them, along with f/f pairs, m/m pairs, Daddies and littles, and so on because the Lifestyle is all about having the freedom to pursue what is right for you and your chosen partner no matter what. And without judgement. It's a closed-minded person who can't see or accept the diversity.From the desk of... R.E.

It saddens me that people think this way of us regardless of our gender. I hear it all the time because I identify as a slave and that really gets people worked up. Trust me I am not a doormat and my friends lifestyle or vanilla will back up that statement.<br /><br />As for male submissives, they are very strong considering what we as submissives do and then to go against societies views. I also think that is why we don't see that many of them in the local community out and about. I know they exist because we have a very active group for them (FemDoms and male submissives) and only them. I know they have a nice size group. But until we as a society can accepted what they have chosen they will stay in their little groups. It is a shame that there is always a small group of people that like to make us feel bad about themselves. I hope my rambling makes sense.<br />InspireRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860761264481914546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-41910892074133726712015-01-28T14:24:58.941-08:002015-01-28T14:24:58.941-08:00It's spooky, I just wrote this post on how, fa...It's spooky, I just wrote <a href="http://tidynosetickler.com/2015/01/28/his/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> on how, far from limiting and restricting me, being submissive gives me the security to grow and develop as a person and, more importantly, as a woman under the guidance, support and instruction of my master.<br /><br />Han xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330112758211831911.post-4966873387347129422015-01-28T11:41:37.261-08:002015-01-28T11:41:37.261-08:00I agree that there aren't enough male submissi...I agree that there aren't enough male submissives in BDSM fiction. I've read books focused on BDSM clubs where there doesn't appear to be a male submissive in the place. Not a very realistic picture of the lifestyle.

Strong male/'weak' female is a paradigm that continues to exist no matter what we do to try and kill it.<br /><br />I think erotic authors, who tackle BDSM, should definitely have more male submissives in their fiction. The market's flooded (thanks to 50 shades) with female submissives, and it's giving a totally distorted impression of the lifestyle, and, unintentionally perhaps, gender roles in general.
