Ego
I’ve been having an interesting conversation on Twitter (bdsm_group). The initial question was this:
“Beware “Lords”, “Sirs”, “Masters” – Ego alert. Thoughts?”
I know in the podcast I give the advice to folks new to the Scene “Run” from “Sir Lord Master Dommy Dom”. But does that mean anyone with “Sir” in front of their Scene Name is a bad thing?
Simon Blaise (a man in the BDSM world often accused of having an ego, but I can tell you from personal experience he’s a very down-to-earth guy.) replied with the following:
“beware people who are preoccupied with others’ egos
a humble person wouldn’t be offended by anothers’ ego or silliness
it’s the only way to live one’s own life
ShaynaDomina also sounded off:
“Of course it takes and ego to be a Dom/me. Is that a bad thing? One sub’s egomaniac is another sub’s confidant controller.”
This leads me to follow the question…what is the consensus of the wider readership?
Let’s hear your thoughts.
