the oversaturation of male submissives and its effects on the worldwide bondage market

recent market activity has show that the price of submissives has plummeted due to the north american market being flooded with "male sub seeks Domme". ok, so i have never taken an economics class aside from "economics 101", so i am not going to write a long diatribe spouting off statistics. i am merely going to go off of my experiences in trying to find a Domme.

i don't think i seriously started looking for a dominant girl until college. i would usually just reveal my second self to my girlfriends after we have already started dating. as you can well imagine, this caused problems. most of the time they would humor me, tie me up every once and a while, maybe let me tie them up; regardless, they would always get sick of it after a while and say stuff like "why can't we just have normal sex all the time?" though it was not intended, a statement that is phrased like that can cut pretty deep (this issue i plan on making it its own post) after a while i finally gave up trying to tell girls about my second self as it was causing me to regress more than anything else. the more girls i told who thought i was "weird", the less and less i wanted to tell anyone at all. when i finally got to college and found myself surrounded by literally thousands of new people my age, i felt it would be time to start to seek out Dominant Women.

like most people, i had no idea where to begin. i just began scouring the world wide web in search of a place where my second self would be welcomed. the first site i came across that showed some promise was the ever popular alt.com. for those of you that aren't familiar with the site, it's a friendster for kinky people. i immediately posted a profile and pic of myself, figuring the messages would start pouring in. they didn't. and i had no idea why. i was young (19 at the time), in great shape, cute, etc., why weren't the Domme's all pining for my services? the entire time i was browsing the site and looking at profiles, i was strictly looking at only the profiles of Dommes aged 18-35. i was on the site so often that i would know immediately if some new Domme in that range created a profile. then one day it hit me: i should see what other male subs are posting so i could see if i was doing anything wrong. once i entered the male sub profile list, i knew it immediately dawned on me why no one cared about this new sub. there were literally 20 times more male sub profiles than there were Dommes. how does one compete with that? how do you make yourself stick out when you are, for all intents and purposes, a needle in a haystack?

Dommes can afford to be ultra picky in their choice of submissive because they, at any given time, have several submissives vying for their attention. this is not to say a Domme should not be picky, on the contrary, a Domme should take the utmost care in selecting Her sub, i am only trying to point out that a submissive has to have something that catches the Dommes eye or else he gets lost among the dozens of emails She receives each day. i even did a little experiment and created a profile posing as a Domme. no pic, very little information, yet, i still received a handful of messages each day from submissives seeking a Domme.

i next tried to figure out why there were so many male submissives out there. maybe people just think being a submissive is easier than being a Dominant? maybe it's a lot easier for a guy to come out and say how he feels on the matter? if i were submissive female, i guess i would find it easy to find a Dominant. perhaps it is a gender thing. the norm is for the male to be the dominant one in a relationship, so perhaps it's a lot easier to go from Dominant to submissive than it is to go from submissive to Dominant. i have no idea, this is all just speculation. all in all, i don't think i will ever understand it as every submissive sees the D/s world from his own eyes. every submissive has a story to tell and knows the core reasons why he is submissive.

sorry for this long list of questions, but it's something i truly ponder over from time to time. i would love to hear what you all think on the matter.
