This is way too true. Also switches are the cruelest doms (in the best way)

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

not me

i have no idea how to be cruel in an enjoyable hot way

when dominating, i am quite soft

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I can be either, depending on what the sub wants tbh. I just get off on other people getting as much pleasure as they can have.

I love a good soft Dom myself but I can also be a pain slut depending on where I'm at in my cycle, so I understand the appeal of both. Hell I also love a good soft psychological dom that uses degradation to play mind games with me .

All I'm interested in when I dom is seeing somebody whimper and beg for me, by any means.

OwO

need need need need need need

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Right?? It's the bessst ugh. I'm a sucker for the "you're a disgrace and I don't know why I want you so badly" kind of trope haha, like someone is struggling to reconcile why they're so attracted to such a loser 🤭

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

See now, as an actual switch... or... maybe just literally me (?)... I just actually do not enjoy verbally degrading people, makes me feel disgusted with myself.

I prefer simply demonstrating, practically, with controlled force, that you are at my mercy.

... you might be be able to mind game me out of that... but I would simply enjoy that.

Or you might be able to physically out do me, which I would also enjoy.

Not insults though. Genuine turn off for me, giving them or recieving them. Taunts? Dares? Absolutely. Degradation? .... find another switch-dom.

Now... learning what you like, and withholding it from you? That I can do.

But... specifically punishing someone with something they do consent to, but causes them genuine discomfort, significant pain or panic?

Can't do it. Too much of genuinely nice person, or something.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That makes total sense! To be fair I'd only do degradation with the most trusted of partners because it needs to come from someone of whose opinion of me i am well aware. Most of the time I'm just a competitive brat hahaha

Really love a switchy physical power dynamic where power shifts between both partners.

The mind games and degradation are for a very specific type of itch, however (hint: it's trauma).

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh I'm not even trying to judge you or anything, you don't need to justify anything to me, I just... I am only mean to people I genuinely dislike or hate or despise in some way, or have done something severe, of the same description.

To me that seems like the antithesis of ... love or just enjoying another person's body... frankly it would make me feel like a rapist, to be intentionally viciously cruel.

Had ... a few people in my life ask for that, and I just actually couldn't do it... fucking broke down crying, actually.

I don't know how to pretend to be... viciously, overwhelmingly cruel. I only know how to actually be that way, and I never want to be that way.

... i guess I'm saying I'm a method actor, in bed ... ?

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I know plenty of people like that, and I don't think that's wrong, that's probably how we should think about that stuff lol. It should be difficult to be or pretend to be cruel to a person.

Tbh I may be a bit fucked up, but it's in a fun way, at least, lol. Results in some wires crossed and makes me want that kind of treatment, but in a context where the type and amount of treatment I receive is in my control, as a sub.

So, the biiig reason I am capable of cruelty when in a dom position is that I understand how it feels as a sub to want to be on the receiving end of it, and how much it can actually help in a therapeutic sense when the proper before and after care is taken. So I guess what im saying is I can tell how much they want it, I can tell how much they enjoy it, and I would never dream of treating a person like that if they didn't actively want it. Like I said in another comment, I enjoy when my partner is enjoying themself.

Edit: Oh! I also wanted to add, gender power dynamics also play a huge role when dominating men, and a LOT of men like being degraded by women because it's a response to a society that constantly teaches them to treat women like objects, yknow?

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Hah!

but in a context where the type and amount of treatment I receive is in my control, as a sub.

I laugh because... to me? My sub, sub to my switch?

You are only in control of essentially what you can trick me into doing. And I tend to be a rather quick learner. Either that or what you can literally force me into doing. You better either figure out one of those... or ... learn my rules. >;D

Safe words, of course, for emergency stop, but... that's it.

I revel in the extremely direct and obvious control... but I make the rules of it... very simple. That. That is how I train a sub. You actually have to control or utilize yourself, really, mostly... and in so doing... I become essentially entirely predictable, a 'solved game'. Sub and dom then cease to actually make sense as distinct and consistent concepts.

So this is kind of the antithesis of at least what I percieve as 'patriarchy'. It is straightforward and obvious... not... taken for granted, via unspoken rules. It is 'total' and domineering... but it is also totally undoable, reversible.

Quite literally, I'll give you what you want, but only if you play my game, and in so doing, you kind of have to learn to think and act as I do.

Is that ... manipulation, or communication?

... I don't know. Both? Is that feminine, masucline? Both, Other? Don't know, but it is generally quite enjoyable.

I am forcing or encouraging a condition that makes each of us both subject and object of the other, to the other.

Eitherway, my psychosexual analysis of myself is... i yearn for a kind of connection on a level that is... not commonly achieved.

My own kind of 'disasterpiece', hahah!


Nonetheless, your perspective/style is... interesting. Somewhat relatable, somewhat alien, to me.

I don't understand the desire to be ... degraded, or used... but I do understand your inversion of it. Makes sense.

Likewise, I, a bi switch dude, have no desire to be degraded, by a woman... or anyone, really.

But I do understand that if you are always wearing the mask of 'competent powerful leader man'... the exact opposite of this is deviant and thus secretly desirable/enjoyable.

I guess uh... case in point: Kristi Noem's husband. Who has been... basically socially cucked, (literally being cucked aside, or ancillary) by his much more socially powerful and influential wife, if he subscribes to stereotypical patriarchichal societal and family roles/norms.

Results in 'well then I guess I have to be the hyper stereotypical bimbo/trophy wife, because she is clearly the man of the house'.

A sexist way of humilating himself. ... Ironically, still very self centered.

So being a top is basically like being a D&D DM then?

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 7 points 1 week ago

It's the noble task. Know the rules, make the adventure and give them the imaginary time of their lives, so you can imagine being among them.

(And you kinda are tbh, those skeletons and goblins are nothing but a boogieman disguise for the unseen member of the gang).

I'm almost certain I'm just going to die alone. There is no top. There is no bottom. There is just forward.

[-] TotallynotJessica 4 points 1 week ago

It's still good to know what you'd want really, even if you don't believe it will ever happen

[-] SnotFlickerman 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I've been told I'm the last actual top.

I've had numerous surgeries on my booty, its not a place anyone is allowed to go for good reason. Already have enough fucking issues down there.

Anyway, it would be nice to meet a bottom who is okay with this Shrek-looking motherfucker someday.

[-] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 22 points 2 weeks ago

I dub thee The Booty Shreker

if only.

edit: I hate my own brain, I wish compliments didn't always make me feel worse.

[-] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I'm sorry about that. My partner has a similar bully for a brain -- compliments don't work for them either. Love 💜

[-] SnotFlickerman 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's not your fault, no way you could have known, thank you for understanding though.

[-] TotallynotJessica 6 points 2 weeks ago

Do you top because you want to top, or because you have to? Like if all the booty complications didn't exist, what would you want the most?

[-] SnotFlickerman 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fair question, I also want to top, but I've also run across women so beautiful that I'd turn to bottoming just to be with them.

Edit: to be clear I am really just lonely and desperate more than anything

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Bottoming doesn't require anal, btw. There are many, many ways to be submissive.

[-] SnotFlickerman 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oh i think we're talking two different bottoms here, I am not speaking dom/sub bottom. I don't really dig the dynamic, I'm a cuddler who likes to make people feel good, more of a hedonist than anything.

[-] cloudskater@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Same, tho I don't think of the typical stuff when the topic of dom and sub come up. That is making ppl feel good as far as I'm concerned, its why as much of a bottom as I am, I like to top as well. I wanna make ppl feel good :3

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

That makes sense, I'm a woman so most of the bottoming im familiar with is dom/sub, sorry! Hahaha

[-] SnotFlickerman 5 points 2 weeks ago

No worries whatsoever 😄

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 10 points 2 weeks ago

Third option: Power Bottom

[-] Blurntout@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Any bottoms out there who do more than starfish wya?!

[-] djsoren19 9 points 1 week ago

I'll die a bottom >:)

[-] Doomguy1364@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

This is kind of the opposite for me.

When I was younger I used to switch, but really always preferred being a bottom.

Nowadays I just wanna be a sub; If someone doesn't like that I can find another woman who will.

[-] Smorty 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

im second- or think im second. i wanna be second. i wanna make others feel good


cuz thats a really special feeling.

edit: ALSO!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder if this relates to someone hHmMMMMMmMmmmMm... that likely wasnt intentioned (I don't mean myself)

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

kinda me :3

except that i dont do it the way i wanna recieve it i do it the way the one recieving wants

i just wanna make my partners happy >w<

im a subservient people-pleasing puppy :3

[-] Shirow@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

I feel seen. I rarely switch and if I do, I know there are some thing that I like and try on my partner and I know that gets them going because it does for me (well I'm mostly right about that, at least to the 2 sexual partners I've ever had.).

Never met someone who is fully top though and couldn't experience it for now.

[-] Smorty 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

you either die a child or grow old enough to treat your child the way you would have liked to be treated... if u feel like it. I know many peeps here hate children.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
