Gratuitous image of Superboy in bondage.
The top’s profile had a reasonable feel at first. The man seemed reasonable and mature. A bit ambiguous but it can be tough to both be specific and keep a range of options open when writing a profile.
When he got to outlining what he wanted in a slave it was the usual 24/7, total slave, no limits razzmatazz. But in summarizing his slave’s life there was an element that stood out starkly:
No future.
Now that seems a terrible thing to expect from someone or to want to subject anyone to.
Not that I was sure what he meant. My guess was that his slave would not grow, progress, develop, evolve: change in any way. Enslavement as a sort of personal stasis.
To be fair the inner life of many people freezes. They become unchanging bores. And spend the rest of their days in front of the TV set.
But I can’t imagine a submissive person with any creativity, spirit – real interest in life signing up for a form of slavery that entails anything like the lack of a future.

I have recently run across you blog, and have read it from the beginning. The reason why I enjoy it is that you exhibit a skill to see through the crud, and have a way to express it in a lucid and humorous manner.
I am not a self-acknowledged homosexual, so I have absolutely no experience with real or virtual interactions that you describe. Of course, that is open to interpretation. What I am, is a male who wants to serve a woman, and that is where the D/S, and the S/M features kick in.
I have done some surfing on the web, and seen much of the same crud that you describe, only in the context of “female led relationships”. Much of what you say, could and may have been said by women, whether being heterosexual or homosexual.
I have never gotten into the sites that seek partners, but I have seen references to it via female led relationship blogs. I find some fascinating in my fantasies, but mostly unrealistic. Some are stupid, arrogant, and worse. I don’t know whether anyone can connect with a reasonable person based on these postings and profiles.
I like all sexes. That this site has mostly a M/m coloring is mostly an accident. I don’t know if it will stay that way or not. The illustrations will since I have other places where I use F/m photographs and illustrations.
Thanks for the very kind words.
Over the years I’ve had luck meeting people online. Some of it was just one-off hookups. I formed one very serious romantic relationship via a profile. Another came from participation in an online group.
It takes enormous patience for some of us to meet appropriate people online but that has been true – for me at least – in offline life.
Thanks and take care.
