The Seven Common Types of Internet Submissives

[BDSM_Tourguide]

To commemorate the opening of a new section of the Dungeon, I am moving this thread and a few others to the top of the list.
Enjoy!

I am definitely the brat, and in typical brat fashion, I am going to refuse to call it a bad thing. I love being a brat, and I love being told what a brat I am, and my dom certainly loves to give me a good punishment to put me in my place until the next time I start sassing.

EDIT: I'm speaking up here because I assumed the bump was to get discussion on these topics going again. After posting, it occurred to me that maybe they were meant to bring attention to old threads for the sake of reference, so extra discussion wasn't encouraged. Did I do the right thing?

duktig flicka - you are are welcome to contribute to any threads you feel you have something to say on.

In terms of the whole brat thing..whether or not it is really true submission, i think you raise a good point, that being that it's irrelevant which rule book one is following, i have always believed that D/s, good D/s, works best between two given people; it works for you, it works for your dom so by definition, it just IS good.

Couldn't it also be said that those who fall into the categories you listed have learned this from the internet? If no such 'submissives' exist in r/l (off line), how did these 'personality flaws' arise? And just what exactly is a 'real' submissive to you?

For me a 'real' submissive is who who follows her/his heart. Knows what they want and need in their life to feel whole. I am not putting down this thread at all for I have seen the 'personalities' mentioned. Do some act as such just to get attention? ~shrugs~

And something else I find extremely interesting....for all who say they live this L/S in real time, why do so many seem to be on line more than off? lol hehehe.

Well, perhaps...

1) The local scene may be non-existent or unavailable due to a person's need for privacy. That person may still have a r/t partner; they just may not participate in the larger r/t community that may or may not be available to them.

2) It is nice to engage in discussion with a global community of intelligent, creative people with common interests. New friends and insights are always welcome.

3) Sometimes a couple may not be so lucky as to be able to be r/t 24/7 due to other commitments. O/l can be helpful (and obviously significantly cheaper than the phone) for staying in touch.

Oh, okay, wasn't sure how serious your question was so I figured I'd throw an answer out there. After all, I completely agree that real time is preferable and that online deserves a lot of the shit that it gets, but there are still some good things that can be said about online too of course.

Welcome to the forums; it's always nice to hear new voices.
