To The "Dominant Male"

I'm proud to say I still have some of my innocence! I was initially completely confused by the following email:

honesty

D/s relationship? Here's my exact thoughts as I read the email:

Hello, I am looking for a woman that is open minded and not afraid to step out side the box {comfort zone} Well that's nice, mikearizona1965, I like adventurous people too, however I can tell you like 18-36 year olds since you feel the need to explain what it means to step outside of the box. i am looking for a D/s relationship. Huh? Divorced/Single? were to people can grow and have a mental and physical connection...Oh if only people could still spell and use the right homophones! I would like a mental and physical connection with the person I date too - who doesn't? But I feel like I'm missing the meaning of what you're saying for some reason. if this sounds like you contact me ...Dont let life slip away lets talk about it and see if we click.. Uhhh?

So I went back and read his profile a second time:

dominant male here looking
I am looking for a woman that is open minded..(sub)... my friends say i am very caring, loving ,nurturing,person i like traveling to vegas. i like going to the lake, renting wave runers, going to the movies. i like going out to dinner.Im not looking for a woman that wants to just be with a guy a couple times a week. i am looking for a friend as well as a lover, two people that can stand being next to each other. I am interested in young woman as well as older woman, age does not matter to me as long as we have fun and live life...

Then it dawned on me! D/s = Dominant/submissive?!? Do they really even cap locks the
dominant one, but not the submissive? My default is always to google something I don't know about, and it turns out, wikipedia knows more about sex than I do! Dominance and submission is not solely based on physical contact; rather, it focused on control and power exchange. It can be intensely physical and emotional, but incorporates a safe word so the situation does not go out of control or become abusive. I'm all for keeping thing interesting in the bedroom, but evidently I am kinda "vanilla!" The list of possible D/s activities in wiki included: erotic humiliation, sexual slavery, verbal humiliation, fetishes, whipping, golden showers, and bondage.

Oh Match.com, you never cease to surprise me! I'm all for whatever people want to do behind closed doors (I do work in a lingerie store!) and my first thought was "Sorry Dude, I'd be the dominant one if I ever decided to get into that!" I'm all for a pair of furry handcuffs, but the thought of dog collars, whips and golden showers is a little beyond me!

So sorry mikearizona1965, you can't put a leash on me!
