...are there any providers here who also have a full-time Master or Dominant outside of the profession? I do, and have been grappling with expanding my professional horizons, so to speak.
I guess it depends on the manner of your D/s relationship, but you should have the autonomy to expand your work horizons as you see fit. What is it exactly that you're grappling with?
I'm in a D/s relationship outside of this, though i'm in the "D" part of that equation. My submissive had no issue whatsoever when I went from being a pro Domme to being full service. It's courteous to discuss these things with your partner(s), but at the end of the day, it is ultimately your body, your career, and your choice.
I just mean with the idea of being a professional sub, calling another man "Master" or "Sir" when I'm actually owned by someone else. I suppose it's not all that different from being a vanilla provider, but still. Perhaps I should get into being a Domme as I do have some strong switch tendencies!
I have a really busy life, and this is an outlet for my masochism and need to be controlled. I wouldn't mind a 24/7 relationship with a client, though, meaning minding him all the time even though we have our own lives. I've been owned long term in the past which was at times very fulfilling. I worship my owner as a god, so its very intense. That, and its extremely difficult to find a man with the level of sadism I really need. I enjoy anonymous beatings, so he would have to be turned on by watching me get really hurt in all sorts of ways. Surprisingly, men like that aren't difficult to find for me, but we would both need to go into knowing each others responsibilities and and respecting them before any kind of contract was entered.
