But what i am trying to get across, apparently not doing a very good job of it, is that there are subs (male and female) whose needs are fulfilled by the non-sexual services that you consider exploitative. i know this will make you think i am even more of a bitch than you already do, but the only relationship your have the right or capability to judge is your own.
Just as there are some Domme's who desire an emotional, romantic, supportive relationship with their subs.
You are having a bit of trouble finding the right person for you. i sympathize with that.
i am a writer and editor. i believe that words are tools and should be used with precision. No apologies for that.
Bon chance,
