Mistress drop

In the context of BDSM discussions, a submissive is more likely to support the PD rather than the party who is employing the power tactics to compete with them which might explain why so many subs jump on the bandwagon.

Is it really jumping on the bandwagon if a sub supports a Mistress? Can it not just be because he doesn't agree with the way she has been attacked?

Possibly, but I favour the explanation that it’s about choosing what side you are on when the battle lines are drawn. Given the very reason for and nature of the forum it’s not surprising that subs tend to side with Mistresses rather than their antagonist. I think that makes some kind of psychological logic

But if folk want to call it fairness or manners, no big thing. I’m cool with that.

Just for the record I very rarely drink these days, less so on a Monday night.

This will be my last post here. I suspect I will miss the board more than it misses me, but that's the way of things.

Rehrednu I hope that no persons views are irrelevant on this board and in my opinion yours certainly are not.
As others have said your posts are always worth reading and I hope you will change your mind about leaving as you would certainly be missed!

So this must leave my inability to understand what has been written.

My issue with the original comment was not so much the reference to the holocaust. I found that tasteless but not offensive.

However, the comment went on to confirm that "yes, it's that offensive". A strict reading of this could be that the contributor in some equated the offense caused by denying the concept of Mistress drop, to that which results from the wanton denial of the torture and systematic murder of millions.

In that context I found the analogy offensive. I believe the use of events like the holocaust or other man made or natural tragedies to emphasise points in relation to the type of things discussed on this board is simply inappropriate. I apologise for what you will no doubt regard as contrived offence.

That's how I read it. It was the best I could do given the education I have received. I sent a PM setting out how the words landed on me. I also said that I had every confidence that she would not have intended this interpretation but that in the cold light of day she might wish to reconsider the words used.

I did this not to make a point on this occasion, rather in the hope that it might lead to a different choice of analogy in the future. That will be her choice, I believe in freedom of expression.

I now appreciate that not only are my views irrelevant, but that as a person I do not count in your eyes. The fact you hadn't had the opportunity to actually read what I said before passing this judgement does not seem to have been an impediment.

Rehrednu I agree with slavealan your post do make a difference, you politely expressed you concerns about a comment in a PM which I am sure was politely accepted

Coming to this late..............but what the heck, I'll chuck in my tuppence worth.....

Does a rock band that comes off stage at the end of an intense gig feel a certain sense of coming down from a high because of the intensity of what they have been doing? I would think so.

Does a runner who has just completed a demanding and challenging race feel physically fatigued but also mentally elated for a while after? I ould think so.

Is the fatigue that a prodomme feels at the end of a session comparable to other work such as lorry driving that do not require such personal mental input? I would say no.

Does bipolar disorder exist, even though no one used the term back when I started visiting prodommes? I would say yes.

Despite having started sessioning back in the eighties I had never heard the term sub drop until reading it on IC a few years ago and I don't seem to suffer from it, so does it really exist, whatever you want to call it? It seems perfectly reasonable that it does.

So, it seems perfectly reasonable to me that dommes can have a post session come down feeling that is not simple tiredness.

Whether or not this has a name, and if it does have a name, whether or not it has been used a long time or just recently seems pretty irrelevant. Dom drop seems as good a name as any.

I think that it is has been interesting to read about these feelings that mistresses have. It reconfirms my views that good mistresses put their personality and mental powers into a session rather than just going through the physical motions.

The doubters appear foolish. Evidence is building which implies that it's either a recognised phenomena, or it is catching on very quickly*...

Still can't find any reference to 'langvolution' though. Come on peoples, help me out. This is a word wanting to be spoken. Has own vowels and consonants with four free syllables, will travel, seeks a good voice. No wordwasters please.

Regards,
Rimmer.

* Or we have the equivalent condition of convergent evolution i.e. convergent langvolution...or 'conlangvolution' which I really don't want to call it.

Oh I nearly dropped a Domme once .............. and oh boy was she fuming of course the punishment was pleasurable
