First off TG thanks again for something that has sparked more and more creative conversation about the lifestyle. Really these are absolutely fablous.

First I must say that I am still exploring things and am reletaviely new to the lifestyle. But I know who I am and what I beleive.

I for myself use the term Domminant. Though after looking at what TG has as definitions for both of the names I really don't fit into either of them fully.

I enjoy the control exchange that I would have with my sub...if I had one, and of the discipline and rule base that in TG's definition a Domminant would enjoy. Though I also identify with aspects of the Master Definition. I do enjoy as TG put it
A master sets specific rules for all aspects of his partner's life, from what she will wear, to what she will eat, to how she will walk and talk in social situations.
While still remaining within the limits of safe, sane, consensual, the last being the most important for me. So while I enjoy setting out limit as to what my sub would wear, walk, talk and all of that I am only willing to take what she is willing to give.

This is me, what I beleive. Thoguh one final though, the terms Domminant and Master, to me, mean sweet little other than describing your position in the social chain of BDSM.

The Domminant/Master have their submissive/slaves. Beyond this the words mean very little than as identification markers as to what your general prefrences are in the life.

For the Domminant/Master part the phrase "I am looking for a submissive/slave who is willing to become mine" would apply in my mind and if this is what you seek then use which ever term you want to refer to yourself as.

(Now what I am going to be saying next is a little off topic.)

While a submissive/slave would have a phrase simmilar to "I am looking for a Domminant/Master who is willing to take me as his/hers" Once again the terms are irrevelant only the broad general meanings that they carry mean anything.

Well that is my 2 cents.
