What it ultimately means, Freddie, is that you're sexual: that's really all. Your libido comes from your mind and body in response to someone else.

In this day and age, if your response is always focused on someone of the opposite sex, it's called straight, gay if it turns out to be the same sex. Bisexuality is used when someone finds either sex equally attractive. But these labels are relatively recent in terms of our civilization and are still not universally recognized as absolute fact.

In response to your previous posts, which I'd missed up until now:

Consent is key.

Minors are incapable of consent as far as I'm concerned. If they wish to explore their sexuality, they can do so with each other (they hardly need my permission anyway), but not with adults. There is an inevitable imbalance of power and mindset between someone in his/her teens and someone in his/her thirties or beyond. It reeks of exploitation, which I find abhorrent.

Master/slave relationships are especially tricky (irrespective of the ages of the participants presuming, again, that they are adults) and are full of possibilities of being misinterpreted. I have been an active participant and observer of the SMBD/leather scene since my early twenties, over 25 years, and have learned much.

Contrary to popular opinion and casual observation, it is the slave and/or the bottom who is in control. The master/top is bound by the limits and consent of the slave/bottom: I have never seen anything to contradict this, and I've seen/experienced a lot.

While I'm certain that highly dysfunctional relationships exist in the SMBD community (as everywhere), the highly structured and ordered nature of master/slave relationships precludes ambiguity, except in rare (and quite dangerous) exceptions.

As a top/master, I am strictly obliged to honor the limits of my partner(s). As extraordinary and exquisite as it is to make a breakthrough, even that is up to my partner(s) to accept: trust is a vital component of consent. My own personal limits are largely irrelevant to my partner(s), except if they fall short of expectations.
