being a dominatrix has nothing to do with sex at all. Not for me, anyway. I never thought anyone was interested in my lifestyle. I commented on the OP saying men who open doors are pigs. I stated I insist on it but not doing so is never cause in any situation to shoot someone. People got hostile about me saying I insist on my guys opening doors and so I decided to explain. Again, my lifestyle is indeed a lifestyle and not about sex. That being said, my world is relevant because the OP talked about men opening doors being considered pigs. I insist on men opening doors (the ones that are with me) as other women do that are not even in the lifestyle. I wanted to get across that as much as it is appreciated, no one deserves to die and some women do like it.
