You got that right, Tom!!!! Honestly, I just get sick to death of reading about this same problem over and over and over and over. It's one thing to be married and try to communicate your wants and needs only to meet resistance, but in a dating relationship, it's just not worth the effort! PUH-LEEZE people....stop wasting your time and theirs. Quit dating vanilla men/women and expecting them to suddenly become the Dom/me of your dreams. If you're serious about this lifestyle and if this is more important to you than simply spicing up your sex life, meaning this isn't simply "nice" like...say...ice cream (which you could live without), then do something about it!!!!!! Go to munches (they have them within 30 minutes of the small town where I live) where you can actually meet the kind of person you're looking for. Try a dating site like collarme or alt.com.
