In the short time I’ve been purusing the boards (although new here, I belong to other like sites), I’m absolutely amazed that this idea and question is posted as often as I’ve seen.
I have to wonder what it is that makes so many believe that this type is relationship is so different from any other in our/their lives?
For instance, marriage/LTR, some have intimate relations every day, some once a week, some once a month, some special occasions and some that do not have that as part of their relationship at all. That is the ‘terms’/limits they set for their relationship.
If one has terms/limits that make another say or believe they are not sub/dom/whatever, the truth is, the person with the limits may not be the correct sub/dom/whatever for you; but does not mean the are not sub/dom/whatever.
I believe, every relationship in our lives has limits/terms, place by one or both within the relationship.
