Mistress's Casting Call on Hiatus

Last Friday, maybe in reaction to the relief of being past the Thanksgiving Feast, Mistress and Slave got a little crazy. On our bike ride we talked about how to fill the void left by the vanished E. He had gotten Mistress all wound up with thoughts of spanking and submission, only to disappear from view. I suggested maybe a casting call for a DOM who could explore with Jennifer her new found dark desires. It was a fantasy too good to simply fantasize about it seemed, particularly to two folks inclined to act on our instincts a bit too readily. So I wrote and Mistress revised a posting for Craigslist. Here it is:

"Casting Call for Part Time Dom

An attractive married woman looking for an intriguing , well educated man, 40-60, prepared to discretely teach me how to submit. If you want to know more about what will interest me go to the blog referenced at the Twitter page “UnderContract”, and see the entry of November 25, 2009.

If you think you are the needle in this hay stack, then respond via email or comment on the “UnderContract” blog page. I will need some accurate and detailed biographical information before making contact."

What happened next surprised us. We expected 2 or 3 responses, none particularly interesting. Instead more than a dozen came in. Most failed the threshold test. No biographical information. No effort to read the blog or figure out what Mistress might actually be interested in. These guys were too lazy to be worth engaging.

Some tried the gross out approach, with a photo that included a penis but no face, or the suggestion that she was wacky but sure made the respondent's cock hard. One offerred access to a "fuck pad" in our old neighborhood, fully equipped with state of the art equipment. WOnder what his landlord thinks.Or maybe he's the landlord.

But a handful did their homework. Their responses (if not all of their photos) were provocative, sought to push some of the buttons one could find with at least a passing review of the blog, and introduced some concepts that we had overlooked. On observed that her surrender would put this Slave under the new DOM's control. Yikes. Would he get the key to my cock cage?

There was one who only wanted to dominate intelligent woman with a point of view, not the sniveling slave ordinaire. Mistress certainly qualifies there, and she took notice. This guy liked a challenge, and Mistress would surely provide one.

Another promised that his experience with sailing made him handy with knots, and that he could wield a whip in a way that would make her tingle. That made us tingle.

Mistress sorted through the list, deleting some out of hand, saving others for further review. The keepers are all filed away for further reference. Mistress even sent some preliminary questions to two applicants who promptly and courteously responded.And after reviewing the options we had some extraordinarily robust sex on Saturday afternoon, contemplating the scenarios that these would-be DOM's brought to mind.

But that evening Mistress kind of freaked. Were we really thinking about involving a stranger in our relationship? What about safety and health issues? Or even potential blackmail? The enticing concept of submitting to E arose from her comfort level and familiarity with him, something unique that a guy from cyberland can't replicate in any way shape or form. It was a rare lightning strike. Not something that can be replicated on Craigslist.

So the casting call is on hiatus. It may be one of those Hollywood movies that never get made, or gets made years later with a different director and cast. (Thinking Sweeney Todd). As one of our blogland commenters suggested, better to do this with someone you know and trust, or not at all.

For those would be DOMS out there who remain intrigued, my only suggestion is that you follow us here, comment, let us know your own thoughts on life, love, and sex. Email Mistress if you have the address. Let her know what she might have in store if she (or we) showed up in your lair someday.

Maybe someday you will seem familiar, compelling, reliable and stimulating enough to Mistress that she will feel secure enough to reach out. Or even compelled to reach out, as if she had no will of her own. (Isn't that the idea?)

But it won't happen anytime soon.
