After my last one I swore I would never enter into a new one, just play B/d games.
However, the D/s call is very strong again.

"I have only been in 1, once he broke my trust that was it for me, I enjoy a bit of kink but just as a bonus x"
Had three, one drifted due to distance, the other two, didn’t end as clean as I hoped, think it’s more complicated to end a martial relationship than a D/s one.
Still talk to two of my ex ladies though, no bitterness, just an understanding. |

Think I got the D/s and marital the wrong way round.
Must remember to read the posts before putting

I entered my first D/s relationship at the age of 23 and at the age of 28 thought maybe I shouldn't be living life that way.
Had a 2n half year break now all I think about is fin ding another female led relationship

So I was analysing, why.
Still cannot put my finger on why I still have a calling.
Think nearest I can get, is both parties have a need to be adored.
However, it’s an itch and a growing one. |

"I think once experienced a Ds relationship and the trust and excitement that involves it's very hard to feel fully fulfilled without it
Think you possibly have then."

Love it and need it. My relationship with my ex-Dom is forever. It's changed now but we still need to be in each others lives. I couldn't do what we do with anyone else and I'm open about it to lovers. |

I don't think it's a matter of being addictive I think it's a matter of being who you are. I am a submissive brat bordering on lg. I know that when I'm in that zone I am at my most content. I get ansty being in relationships that don't give me that. I can be in them as have been proven but there will always be something missing for me |

I am in my first D/s relationship (if you can call if that)
We don't live together and are not a couple but meet on a regular basis.
We are in contact daily, has final say in what I do on here and who I meet.
The trust and closeness I feel with him is beyond anything else I have ever experienced in a conventional relationship and I know I am an addict to this now.
No going back for me. |

Indeed they are- my ex abandoned our marriage/house/job for her D/S sub- not like my CD/TV/whatever side was a shock to her in any way (I was up front about it before we were married)
The whole D/S mind games people can play and the fake 'morality'/superiority they can exhibit is a huge turn off.
There's no substitute for honesty in any sort of relationship and too many frauds, flakes and fakes inhabit that scene (besides this one!). |

Is it even an addiction or addictive if you are just naturally a D or s???
I dint think addiction is part of it at all. You're either that way inclined or you're not. |

Ive had a few D/s relationships id say its very addictive.
You get use to so many things like tasks, orders rules even the good morning and good night rule. Then suddenly it stops and sometimes its very hard to mive on. I find I crave and miss that aspect of D/s so much. Im definitely addicted to it x |

I think the short term D/s relationship I had was (somewhat frustratingly) the final nail in the coffin for having vanilla relationships. Nothing just seems as fun now. I’ve always had a strong kinky side but I kinda wish I could enjoy vanilla stuff more too now. Guess it depends who I’m with though. |

Id say it's who you are rather than addiction. You said it was a calling, as was said earlier can only feel complete with it. |

In this context D/s - D is dominant , s is submissive. It can be sexual, relational or both and can be full time or session , with or without some kind of contract / agreement. There’s probably more than that but that’s the main things I’ve experienced |

Not for me , I never allow emotions drive decisions, because they are not accurate readings. But I understand what you mean by a calling , and it’s why I could never switch , it’s part of your character |

Think I slightly disagree with this (could be semantics), I personally think emotions, gut instincts are good indication of people, especially around congruent behaviour. To me D/s play cannot be a cold cognitive relationship. |

It is semantics yes, gut instincts are cognitive , it’s just your brain working super fast to make a decision based on experiences, emotions are very different and always inaccurate and exaggerated responses that quickly change e.g honeymoon period |

I can't imagine not having an element of D/s in my relationship now. It's like opening Pandora's box. Once opened there is no way you are ever going to shut it again! |

I discovered through a previous Mistress sabrina had that it wasn't just Sabrina who was submissive but it was within me and just seem flourish more as Sabrina.
I have been to clubs & on meets where it wasn't my intention to be submissive but I just cant stop wishing to be dominated.
Yes it def addictive. |

Ask yourself what is going on in your life right now, would you enter into a D/s relationship to fill an inappropriate gap in your life ? What went 'wrong' last time. Is the D actually an abuser exploiting the dynamic. Is the s an empath or a co-dependent. Is it something you just want for the sexual dynamic ( no harm in that so long as both of you are aware )
The BDSM behaviours and activities are very stimulating and therefore addictive, some see it as role play, some as partially that, some would like to 'live' it and some turn to it with personality disorders and mental health issues. |

Defiantly addictive but worth all the effort....only downside is if your not careful the feelings can get too strong if your both not careful which can be a problem when one or both are married ???? |

Odd to me, gut instinct is an emotion brought to the cognitive mind.
Also, to me, values are emotional based hence the relationship to the limbic system and the cortex. |

Agree with this, is why L always questions a D/s relationship, yet she knows my lust for it and keeps me in check. |

It feels like an emotion because it’s hard to understand but the science is well established and proven. Values are based on what you perceive as authority, which in turn determines your beliefs. Usually religious or utilitarian. |

I don't get the addiction thing. I thought it was a certain way people are? I don't get it at all. Because I'm a certain way. I wouldn't call it an addiction. How can being d/s be an addiction? It's like saying being gay is an addiction isn't it? Surely people can't choose to be a certain way? Otherwise it's all pretence. And yeah probably an addiction. But weird. I think.
Not sure that makes sense but I know what I mean |

Some say the id system is a basic driver, the super ego kicks in around seven years old.
Memetics say you grow beyond superego and I know that isn’t semantics.  |

My perspective is you can become enormously self aware through meditation etc but that doesn’t change the science , just makes you aware of why you do what you do. Like we know high end cars are purchased mostly based on emotions, that’s why they offer free test drives, but the non-self aware person may want to know the brake horse power and 0-60 in the pre sales to justify the decision their emotions already made.
I had a boss once who made decisions based on emotions. You could take the same problem to them on different days and depending on whether it was raining and they felt sad, or if they had had sex that morning and were happy , you would get a different answer.
Memetics and do culture can have a huge impact on some peoples beliefs and values - we literally live in a post-truth / fake news age now. .... anyway as much as I love to debate philosophy and psychology I think we’re going off topic  |
