This kinda links in with other threads regarding whether Ds always has to be linked with sexual activity, and if the answer is no, then logic alone dictates that there can be nothing wrong with having a male sub, even if you are not and don't intend to be gay or bi (assuming the sub feels the same way).

i have to say, i have never been involved or wanted to be involved in Ds that didn't have some sexual slant, but that doesn't remove the principle..that being that to say a sub who you intend to practice DS with in a non sexual sense, has to be a particular gender, is like saying that an employee has to be a particular gender, which is clearly nonsensical. Submission, by very definition, transcends gender.

As an aside..Eraser/Merrioc...aww, you're confusing me with your name changes!
