Okay. Let's jump into it.
It's, uh, long kind of con, um, complicated, convoluted.
I don't know. There's a lot going on. There's,
- Here's a lot to it. Yeah. Yeah. Here
- We go.
I've been dating Adam Dom for about a year.
He's poly and has a committed
relationship with someone else.
I'm not his priority.
He is the first person I've had a kinky relationship with.
While he has been doing this for six years while seeing him,
I notice that he does not enjoy closeness after sex.
We don't engage in anything too rough.
I never have any physical wounds or bruises to attend to,
but I've let him know that I'd enjoy closeness after sex,
and he will sometimes initiate it.
But more often than not, he will want to simply leave
and keep it very short before sex.
We chat and share openly about other dating
experiences in life in general.
And he always tries to be supportive when I
share life struggles.
Last time before we met, I asked him, Lola has opinions.
Last time before we met,
I asked him if we could spend time together after sex.
He said, of course. And after we had sex,
he suggested we leave the house
and get some cake and coffee.
He also said that I needed
to decide in the next 10 minutes if I wanted to do
that since we had to go get the bus.
I was completely overwhelmed
and not really in the right head space to make
that decision, but I just said, okay, let's do that.
In the cafe, I realized that I was not doing well,
and I told him that I really would've needed aftercare.
His response was that I should have communicated that
to him right after sex, that I needed longer aftercare.
And that aftercare is a thing that is always assumed
to be a given, but nobody ever asks him if he enjoys it.
And it's a way of putting my own needs on him.
He is usually able to read my body language
and I was not doing well.
At some point, I showed him that I was shaking. He said, no.
I said that it was very unfair to expect me
to be assertive right
after having sex while being in the submissive role.
And then I needed more time to recover.
He said that if he lays down
after sex, he will just fall asleep.
We ended the conversation by agreeing that he will try
to take longer after care more into consideration,
and I will try to communicate it in the right
moment after sex.
I also had not eaten well that day,
and this caused me to be more exhausted than usual.
He said, I should tell him this
and he'll make a meal for me.
. I gotta love Lola.
I'm starting to realize it is not easy for me
to communicate these things because I do want to please him
and not annoy him.
But when I got home, I realized that his position
and comments about aftercare really annoyed me regardless
of the way we left the issue.
And that his general lack of concern and distance
after sex has caused me to trust him less,
especially since it was a total switch
to the way he acts before.
I also was hurt because I felt
that he was looking down at me
for lacking communication skills
and not taking responsibility for my own needs.
Instead of maybe just showing empathy that I wasn't feeling
so great in many ways, I felt like he was being
that arrogant poly person
that mansplained himself into not taking responsibility
or dodging around the issue,
because isn't aftercare his responsibility as a dom.
And even if there is no one way to do aftercare,
am I really putting my needs onto him by expecting
that he takes the responsibility?
We never agreed to skip aftercare.
We also will cuddle for maybe a minute or two,
but he has already moved on to the next thing.
He probably considers this aftercare while I don't,
I sent him a pretty in your face text message.
I told him that I would like a deeper connection with him,
and that being submissive without aftercare is exhausting.
I asked him why closeness after sex is so difficult for him.
We basically got into an argument
and he said that he expects people
who have a deeper connection to him to be able
to communicate directly what they need.
I said that I need to be allowed to communicate the way
that I can not fulfill his standards.
Everything else is unrealistic
and doesn't honor my whole being
with my weaknesses and strengths.
I feel like he doubled down on his assholeness
and confirmed that he was looking down on me
for not communicating the right way.
He also said that he wanted to meet,
to talk about this in person and not via text,
and told me when I, when I can expect a meeting
and if I needed to talk it out beforehand,
we could chat on the phone.
He also said that for him,
a deeper connection hadn't evolved yet.
That it takes time. And he doesn't
have that with every person.
I don't really think that this connection is going to last,
and I don't even know if I want to explain
to him how not Okay.
His behavior is. But there's a part of me though,
who thinks, what if I am not taking enough responsibility,
my being a teenager who expects my mind to be read
and then putting my miserable, being miserable onto him,
did send him that in your face text
because I was feeling hurt.
I probably would never have said
it to him like that in person.
And I can't tell if it was overkill
or if I was simply able to communicate my feelings honestly.
'cause I can write it out. I do feel like his expectations
of me are unfair, and that he's exploiting the fact
that I'm submissive and therefore struggle
with displeasing him so he can get away with not doing a lot
of aftercare at the same time.
Am I using my identity as a submissive
to avoid direct communication and standing up for my needs?
Please help. There's a lot there.
- . There's a, there's a lot. There is a lot.
You are not kidding. Wow.
- Sorry for anybody who might have zoned out,
because there's a lot, hopefully we'll hit
the salient points here.
- Right, right. - Um, I feel like this is one of those,
am I the asshole or are they the asshole? And I,
- I, you know, I I I don't think either one.
I don't either. All right. There, there,
there is a a a lot going on.
Communication on both sides. Mm-Hmm. . Mm-Hmm.
. Okay. Both sides. Not just one or the other.
Both. And I'm, I'm gonna say this, this straight out
because listening to this, you know, I, I don't see any
like glaring red flags Mm-Hmm.
Jumping out in, in, in any of this. Mm-Hmm.
And I, I think what we're really got here is,
is just an incompatibility.
Yes. Okay. Yes.
Because, you know, let, let's face it,
and we talked about this in earlier episodes about
hierarchy of needs.
Mm-Hmm. in kink. Mm-Hmm.
- , I'll link to that in the
Mm-Hmm. in the show
- And places, you know, to, to this person.
It sounds like aftercare is something
that's very important to them. Oh,
- Yeah. I think that's very clear.
- Yeah, for sure. I mean, it, it, it's very clear that,
that this person, you know, states that, you know,
aftercare is needed or at least in some, into some depth.
Right. Okay. Um, more than a couple minutes. Mm-Hmm.
. And, and to him aftercare
is not that big of a deal.
- And I thought it was a little telling
that there was a little bit of a whiny rant about
how people expect aftercare from him
and just put it on him like he's supposed to do it,
but what about how he feels?
And it's a, yeah. Look,
- I know, I know that
- I, that I don't consider that a red flag.
I do consider that a Oh, you clearly have some feelings here
that you haven't talked about with somebody at
- Some book.
Yeah. Or, or, or some kind
of misconception of what Yeah. What
- Aftercare is. Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. So, you know, yeah.
There, there, there is a lot going on
and I, you know, he does tell this person
that they are not his priority.
- Yeah. That's, that can't be easy to
- Hear. No.
- And it's, and they, they didn't say that,
that he said they weren't the priority.
I think they just know based on whatever. Yeah.
And maybe they did say it, but to they,
I guess he was being honest when he said
that they hadn't developed
- A deeper connect, deeper connection.
- Yeah. No. The submissive states at the very beginning,
I am not his priority, but they never
- Say.
Yeah, that's true. He told me, said that told Yeah, you're
- Right.
Either they've gleaned that or maybe he has told them. Yeah.
But either way, they Mm-Hmm.
, regardless of how what he has said to them,
they are walking away with I am not his priority.
Yeah. And I feel like that's kind of coming through
- Here.
It it is, it is definitely coming through.
Um, you know, it's, it, it can be tough
balancing multiple relationships
- As a practicing poly dom.
You kind of know .
- Yeah. Um, it, it is, it is tough.
Um, you know, we have a, a sort
of a unique situation.
Mm-Hmm. as far as you and I, we are married.
You and my baby girl, submissive .
You are my business partner in multiple
mm-Hmm. Ventures.
- We take care of a family together.
- We, we take care of a family and a home together.
- Right. We are, as you know, we are as tight, as
- Tight, be as interconnected as can be.
Mm-Hmm. . And, you know, it's, it's hard
to step away from those things.
Mm-Hmm. . Okay.
And, and yet when I go
and see the person that I'm currently seeing, I try to
make them the priority Right.
For the time we have. Right.
- And I do my part to let you do that. Mm-Hmm.
like, short of an emergency,
you're not gonna really hear from me. Right.
- Unless, I mean, you, you, you even told me, he said,
you know, if, if something major happens
or somebody's sick or dying, you know? Right.
- I'm gonna leave you alone outside of that. Yeah. Yeah.
- So, you know
- What, but that means that's, that means that when you're
with your part, your other partner, you're like you said,
you're making them the priority so
that they feel like they have your attention. I
- I try to do my best. You know, right now
- I don't get any indication based on what's been said here.
Mm-Hmm. . That that's not what they're doing.
I think it's, I, the little bit I might glean from it is,
okay, well, when we're, once we're done
with like our kinky sex or whatever,
he's kind of ready to move on.
Mm-Hmm. . Well then my question is, move on to
what, move on to other activities with this partner
or move on with the rest of his life and leave and be done.
Right. And I think that the, the answer to that
determines the connection
and the prioritizing and all of that.
Mm-Hmm. . Mm-Hmm. .
Um, ultimately, ultimately this is a serious
failure of communication. Oh, yeah. So
- Absolutely.
- I, it, I take from here, they have tried
to have conversations about aftercare,
but I don't know that those
conversations were very detailed.
Mm-Hmm. This is exactly what I would like,
this is what I'm looking for.
This is what aftercare means to me.
You know, talking about it beforehand, well in advance.
Having it sort of baked in so it's understood every time.
Right. There needs to be aftercare. Mm-Hmm.
, did that conversation
ever actually take place?
- It does not sound like it. It does not.
And, and it also sounds like what
has been talked about there, there is no, you know, the,
the submissive has an idea of what aftercare should be.
The big D has an idea of
what aftercare is to them and also doesn't
- Seem to enjoy it anyway.
Right. And how he has his feelings about it.
- And not everybody does.
- No, but the thing is, is aftercare is aftercare should
to me, can and should be
provided by both sides of the slash Right.
Sure. What that looks like is different in every situation.
Mm-Hmm. And for everybody Mm-Hmm.
Because it's uniquely personal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But aftercare provided by the dom to the submissive,
especially when there's been a power exchange or Mm-Hmm.
, their submissive has been on the receiving
end of kinky Acts is one to kind of help them come back
to the headspace, but two, to make sure
that they are healthy and good and Right.
It is not, it can be,
but it is not just for Give me a quick cuddle Yeah.
And let me know I'm cared for. It's Mm-Hmm.
, it's, lemme make sure you're
fucking okay here.
Okay. Yeah. And so for the dom to kind of go,
well, I don't really care about aftercare.
Well, you don't care about making sure you're Mr.
A partner is doing okay.
- And, and the thing is, for some people too, you know,
they, they may be fine right after a scene Mm-Hmm.
and then a day or two later right.
Is when they, they will drop.
Now to, to me, the, the glaring thing in this too is
that they are not, you know,
aside from the glaring incompatibility. Yeah.
- I think they're very incompatible. The,
- The, the only other thing that, you know,
could possibly rectify this to, to a certain extent
is the fact that no one's willing to compromise.
It seems, and I, to
- To to kind of, it, it does not, I don't,
I don't see any discussion happening.
Okay. How do we meet in the middle
so everybody gets what they need.
Yeah. Um, the other thing that I,
I empathize with the submissive.
They don't wanna speak up
because they don't wanna be an annoyance.
Mm-Hmm. . Well, my first question is, is that
because your dominant partner is making you feel
like you are ?
Or is this something you've internalized
from past relationships?
What you think a submissive is supposed to be?
You know Mm-Hmm. just who you are
and what you've experienced in life.
So that's the first thing. The, the dominant seems
to be saying, I need clear, concise communication.
Right. And the submissive isn't there yet. Now. Mm-Hmm.
, I think it is an individual's responsibility
to learn what you can about communication skills Sure.
And improving your own skills. Mm-Hmm. .
But also the only way we really improve is to practice.
Exactly. And so this person,
the submissive needs to gain those skills.
They need to work, work on those skills, but
that dominant needs to be willing to go, okay,
I see you're struggling here.
How can I help you? Let me ask some
- Questions.
Let me curious about what you're trying to tell exactly.
Because as, as the dominant in in the relationship,
you are the one who technically takes the lead. Right?
- You're leading, you have control and power.
- You're leading, you have, you've negotiated the, the power
and, and you know, whatever else you have.
And you know,
you had trouble communicating in the beginning. Right.
- So we found workarounds,
- We, we found workarounds and,
and I made it comfortable for you Right. To want to
- Communicate.
And if I was not telling you something directly, this
to me is, is a top tip for all dominance out there
with a submissive who struggles to communicate.
You would just ask direct questions. Yeah. You got curious.
Like, I'm not, and maybe it's, maybe it's
because the con quote connection is not there.
Maybe it's because he's not making this a
partner a priority, whatever it is.
Mm-Hmm. , I am not getting that this
dominant partner is curious enough to say,
what do you need from aftercare?
How are you feeling? Right.
- And that, and I think that dips back
to her not feeling like a
- Priority.
Them we don't know of them. Yeah. Right.
Um, one thing that kind of struck me,
and I, I, I want, I want to be kind and considerate
and empathetic to the submissive
who has clearly struggled here.
Mm-Hmm. , I want to push back a bit on my
partner should not expect me to be assertive
after I've been in the submissive head space.
Everybody has their own way and personality. Mm-Hmm.
and, and how submission affects them.
And so it is entirely possible
that it takes you a hot minute
to come out of submissive headspace.
And maybe that's part of how, what aftercare needs
to be to let you do that.
But it is not a partner's responsibility
to expect you that you will
or will not speak up about your own needs.
Mm-Hmm. if, you know, you struggle with that,
if you know that after a scene
or some kinky sex where you were really feeling your
submissive self, that it takes you a minute to kind
of come back and go, okay, I can assert myself,
I can speak on my behalf.
Right. That has to be part of the discussion of, Hey,
I need this aftercare to get me into that.
And you, and some of this stuff you can't discuss
until you learn it about yourself.
Right. But in this e very long email that came through,
they said, well, he should just know
that I'm not gonna be assertive.
No, no, no, no, no. Mm-Hmm. Once you figure that out about
yourself and you realize you're still not getting
what you need or you're not feeling heard
and seen, then it is your responsibility as the submissive
to go, Hey, here's what I'm learning about myself.
And of course, you have to do it outside of the scene
and outside of the moment because you have
to wait till you're coming back to yourself.
I can't be as straightforward
and assertive as you need me to be, to make decisions.
Right. I can't do that in, in a few minutes. I, I'm mm-Hmm.
, whether it's your wiring
or it's the headspace, I need some time
to come back to myself.
Sure. It sounds like
I really feel like these two people are like
at cross purposes.
They are, they're on the different sides of the slash
but they are not on the same path towards
- One another.
- No. You know, he seems to want a very specific type
of person, has very specific types of expectations
and is not seeming to work
with this his submissive partner on getting them to
that point where his expectations can
get closer to being met.
Mm-Hmm. at the same time.
Maybe it's because they're a new submissive.
I would definitely say as they admit towards the end, they
struggle to communicate.
They are not being clear with their dominant partner.
Mm-Hmm. , it's a, I don't,
I don't have a problem that they
got away from the situation, went home,
thought about the conversation that took place and Mm-Hmm.
sent off an angry text.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Yeah.
I think that that's pretty common for people who, especially
for people who struggle to communicate clearly in the moment
because you're having to deal with all
of the stimuli coming at you from this conversation.
What do I actually think? And
I don't know, and that sounds good.
And then you get away where you can be kind of quiet
and with your own thoughts and then you think through it
and you go, what the hell?
No, I'm not okay with that. Mm-Hmm. .
And we as individuals on any side of any slash get
to come back to a conversation
and say, you know, we talked about that thing
and in the moment, yeah, I know what I said.
I should not have said that. Here's
how I'm feeling right now.
Upon further reflection, we all get that ability, everybody.
Right. So taking that opportunity
and saying how you felt once you had time to sort
of process, you're not wrong for that at all.
Um, but I do think that the lessons need
to start being learned here about what is
the submissive partner's responsibilities,
what is the dominant partner's responsibilities?
And I think some are a little bit of, I hate to say this
'cause it means people have
to assume things and I don't like that.
But some things are kind of a given aftercare
for a submissive partner is the dom's responsibility
to provide because the submissive partner was on the
receiving end of some shit .
So that aftercare needs to be within the boundaries
of the dominant partner,
but needs to be focused on the submissive
and what they need to get themselves back to
where they can function again.
Mm-Hmm. , that does not mean
that a dominant partner does not deserve aftercare.
It does mean that that aftercare either will not come from
that submissive or cannot come from that submissive
until they're able to function again.
Mm-Hmm. , depending on what their needs are
for aftercare, I think that, you know,
the most telling part is this person knows they're not a
priority and their do is said
after a year, well, we don't have that connection.
Mm-Hmm. . Well when the fuck are you gonna
develop that connection?
Yeah. After a year.
I feel like the answer's there now
for the submissive partner,
they hit the nail on the head about kind of
what works for them.
And if they wanted to continue with this dominant partner,
this is the conversation they said,
I am communicating better in writing.
Mm-Hmm. , then you need to use writing. Right.
Until you, maybe you never can,
but until you get to a point
where your communication skills allow you
to verbalize it in some way Mm-Hmm.
use other methods. Right.
And your dominant partner who wants that clear communication
to me, ought to be willing to go, this is what you need,
this is what will get me the clear
communication that I require.
Go for it. Mm-Hmm. , let's do it that way.
It's a valid form of communication
and for some people it's, it's gonna be easier.
I still to this day,
after all these years, way
better at writing out my thoughts.
Oh yeah. Because I can edit
and I can make sure I'm saying what I actually mean
and I can organize my thoughts and I can go over it 85 times
before I hit send or hit print
or hand you the piece of paper, two
or three of them double-sided with my loopy handwriting.
Like whatever. It's
- Right.
- , that's a valid form. Yeah. I'm with you.
I don't think anybody here is displaying a single
like true red flag.
Mm-Hmm. . I think other people could, you know,
reasonable people could disagree
based on your own experiences.
Mm-Hmm. . But based on
how it's being described, I think these are two sters
who are at different points in their kink life
and there's not enough binding them together Right.
For them to figure out how to meet each other,
where the other is at.
Mm-Hmm. like to me, a dominant
who really wants to be with that submissive Mm-Hmm.
and is like really invested
in that relationship. They're,
- They're gonna put the effort into it. Yeah.
- And they're gonna be like, look, I know you
don't have the skills yet, right?
Mm-Hmm. , I'm gonna keep that in mind.
I might even help you develop those skills. Right? Mm-Hmm.
, I'm gonna work within
your communication style.
I'm gonna ask more fucking questions.
I'm gonna get curious
because I know you don't have these skills yet.
Yeah. At the same time, the submissive has
to take the responsibility to learn those things has
to, you know, realize.
And some of this just comes with time
and experience that Mm-Hmm.
, you know, uh, communicating your wants
and needs is not you being annoying.
No. Saying you don't like something
that your dominant did is not being annoying.
The question I have on that line somewhere in here
where they were like, I worried about being annoying.
The question, the follow up question I would have is, is
that because that's the vibe
you're getting from your partner?
Mm-Hmm. or is that some insecurity you have
for outside of this relationship and you worry about that?
Mm-Hmm. , those are two separate things. Sure.
Because one, you just get the practice
and you, you have a partner who you know, you feel safe with
and you learn to trust and
so then you kind of overcome that.
Or you have a partner who makes you feel like an annoyance.
And to me, that's all the
information you need at that point.
- Mm-Hmm. - . Yep. What are you doing in this
relationship with a partner who treats you like your wants
and needs are annoying.
Yeah. It doesn't make them a bad person.
It makes you fundamentally incompatible. So Yeah.
I'm, if I were telling this person should,
should you even try?
Mm-Hmm. , I mean, it's easy to be on the
outside and go I why?
Yeah. But Yeah. You know, it's,
- I mean the thing is, you know, if, if they
really do wanna try Mm-Hmm.
and say they put their all into it. Mm-Hmm.
, um, you know, that's fine.
There's nothing wrong with that. And a lot of people need
that to know that they have done everything they can.
Right. Absolutely. You know,
before they can, you know, break away from a situation.
So, you know, that being said, if this is really something
that you want to try to continue with this person, you need
to work on the communication.
Mm-Hmm. . Okay. Absolutely.
Communication, um, you know, text,
- You can't tell tone - From text.
You can't tell tone and, and, and you know, in, um,
- Intention, - Intention inflection.
Mm-Hmm. type of thing from, from text,
you know, email a little better, you know,
because you can Right.
You, you have enough space to
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, - Yeah.
Express yourself per se.
So, you know, there, there needs
to be definite communication.
Um, and from, from everything that I've heard in all this,
there needs to be some meeting in the middle.
- Yeah. And there can't be assumptions on either side. No.
There's no, assuming that this is fully a dominance
responsibility, there are some things that Yes.
It, it falls under Mm-Hmm.
the dom job description.
But you as a submissive are still responsible
for making sure that you advocate for yourself.
Right. You speak up for yourself, you let your partner know,
Hey, I didn't quite get what I needed.
It doesn't mean you'll do it perfectly.
It doesn't mean that the first couple times you might not be
like, shaken in your boots and like nervous sweat
and just like up to try to do it.
Of course, of course it gets easier with time
and with a partner who sort of encourages that, right?
Yeah. But no, no, no.
We do not walk around assuming a dominant just knows No.
'cause you gave them three words. Mm-Hmm mm-Hmm. One time.
Mm-Hmm. But on the flip side,
we do not walk around dominance.
You do not walk around assuming that your partner just
- Right.
Whatever. I mean, you know, they, they did say in,
in the question about how, you know,
they know body language, you know,
I know your body language too.
Mm-Hmm. . But even
that is not, it's not perfect.
It, it, it's not perfect. You know, all it takes is, is
to read something wrong.
Mm-Hmm. . And, and you may have yourself in a,
in, you know, some space you don't wanna be in.
Right. Giant trouble.
You know, it, it is better to say the thing
- Better to over communicate at this point.
Yeah. Yeah. There may come a time where you don't need that
as much and Mm-Hmm.
, some things do become understood
as the shorthand of your relationship,
and so you need to speak up when something
is different than usual.
Right. But you know,
if you are this far into a power exchange
and aftercare is still not happening at a level
that you feel that you need to process
and move on, then there's been a breakdown of communication,
which based on what we've read, it feels like it.
Right. And, and or 'cause both can be true.
A total incompatibility. Yeah.
And there's no point in continuing forward if,
like you said, you can't find some middle ground to meet in.
Mm-Hmm. like, yes, you struggle
with communication and you Dom wants a certain
type of communication.
Well, if that's what they want from you, then to me,
what they need to do is to help you get there.
Right. Like, that's just, that's just how that
- Works.
And that, and that's kind of the thing.
I mean, you know, with, with the dominant,
once you take on the responsibility of a submissive,
you know, you, you know it, it's not all about the fun
and games the whole time.
Right. You know, you, you are there
to basically help each other.
Yes. You know, grow and, and, and, and,
- But as a dominant, if you have
specific want things you want from a submissive partner
that they are willing to give you Mm-Hmm.
, then it is your job
to help them get to that point.
Yes. Like we're all adults here,
and so a submissive partner needs to be the adult
and go practice that or learn or get the resources
or whatever, whatever, whatever.
Right. Mm-Hmm. . But you dole dom have certain
criteria you want your submissive to meet,
then it is your job to help them do that.
Yeah. Simple as that. Yep. So yeah, this was complicated.
, uh, I don't think there are any
easy or right answers.
No, no. Um, but personally I don't.
I think there's an incompatibility
issue now. Yeah. That's just me.
- Yeah. I agree. Mm-Hmm. ,
