IDK it's a little weird because I'm pretty into D/s in a sexual way, but as soon as the lifestyle aspect even begins to enter into the equation I get turned off *really* fast. It doesn't squick me out or anything, but the idea of playing either role annoys the fuck out of me

I'm very similar in this regard. It's not that the lifestyle aspect turns me off as much as it strikes me as being very tiring. I don't think I would want to constantly be responsible for another person to such an extent. I mean, what if you just wanted to be alone and take care of yourself for awhile?

That makes me think I'd be a bi polyamorous dom in this 'verse. I'd screw with people's heads a bit. Fun!
