I have considered taking a second submissive on a few occasions. Not because I want another woman, but because we both enjoyed the girl as a person, and considered having her added to the household to further that enjoyment. That she is submissive is just all that much better. We decided against it on both occasions, once it got to the point of do we do it or not. Not because we didn't like her anymore, or there was jellousy, but because the timing of our/her lives were not condusive to a poly lifestyle.

While we are discussing the poly relationship, I would like to provide a helpful resource to give you some additional education on the subject for these very questions.

Onto the questions;


For the dom, I’d like to know:
2. If one of your charges complained, what would you do?

Communication is most important in a poly relationship. Talking to them to reslove the complaint is most important to keep a harmonous poly home.

3. Why did you take on a second sub?

We considered it because we thought it would expand our experience in life, as well as we very much enjoyed the person, as a person.

4. Do you think either sub might not be totally truthful about having a rival for their affections, because they are worried that they might be the one who is dropped (or equally, because they like the other sub and don’t want to see them hurt)? This includes their response to this thread.

This is always a possibilty in every realtionship. Each partner might withold feelings to keep peace within the house. Poly relationships are no exception. See question 2.

5. How would you respond to an ultimatum? Most good doms on this site aren’t the “my way or the highway” kind of chap.

I assume you are refering to a "me or her" kind of ultimatum. If you are, see question 2. Then if the ultimatum remains, consider who, as the poly relationship is ultimately going to fail due to this sort of behaviour.

6. Do you ever feel as though you can’t spend enough time with each sub? If so, can you clarify question three?

Feelings of inadequecy are always a possibilty. To know if you are doing what you can, and need to. See question 2.

I hope this resolves your questions Q
