Archetype details
Voyeur (83%)
Voyeurs enjoy watching the nakedness or sexual activity of other people. Definitions vary with respect to whether those being watched should be aware of this, or not.
Voyeurs typically pair up with exhibitionists.
Daddy/Mommy (73%)
Daddies/Mommies take on a caretaker role in the relationship, being a guide as much a dominant. Daddies/Mommies dominate their little treasure submissives with an iron fist in a velvet glove: much cuddly and affectionate on the outside, while being as sturdy and hard on the inside as other dominants. Using subtle psychological mechanisms rather than brute power, they nurture their littles into obedience.
Daddies/Mommies typically pair up with girls/boys.
Non-monogamist (68%)
Non-monogamists don't see sexuality as necessarily a 1 on 1 thing. Whether this means they will have several relationships or just see other people outside their relationship (or have even more exquisite constructions) depends entirely on the person and the situation, but they all have one thing in common: their sexuality is more than just between them and one fixed partner.
Non-monogamists typically pair up with (several) other non-monogamists.
Experimentalist (63%)
Experimentalists want to have tried it all. An open mind and an insatiable curiosity are their key features, and they will rarely form an opinion before they have gathered first hand experience. They often have plenty of fantasies and will actively pursue to try them out.
Experimentalists typically pair up with other experimentalists.
Switch (59%)
Switches like to... well, switch. Always taking a dominant or top position is not for them, neither is always taking a submissive or bottom position. Some prefer to switch with the same partner or partners, others have a dominant play partner and a submissive play partner, but in either case they don't fit on one end point of the spectrum.
Switches typically pair up with other switches.
Bondage Giver (58%)
Bondage givers like to tie up and restrain their partner(s), using rope and/or other attributes (chains, cuffs, speaders...). Whether for sexual enhancement, for art or just for fun, they enjoy having their partners completely at their mercy.
Bondage givers typically pair up with bondage receivers.
Dominant (58%)
Dominants like to be in charge. Some like to have their partner obey them without questioning, others like some resistance while taking it their way. Some are dominant only in the bedroom, others are dominant throughout their daily life as well (usually with limitations). Unlike the top roles (giving paina/bondage/degradation), being dominant is more about who decides what happens (and takes the responsibility that comes with it) than about the contents of what happens.
Dominants typically pair up with submissives.
Exhibitionist (58%)
Exhibitionists enjoy showing their naked body or a sexual activity to other people. Definitions vary with respect to whether those being shown this, should be looking for such encounter or not.
Exhibitionists typically pair up with voyeurs.
Girl/Boy (50%)
Littles (girls/boys) are submissive spirits that mix childlike innocence with naughty sexual curiosity. They long for a nurturing loving dominant who plays a guiding, almost parental role in their lives. While they require a softer approach to be dominated than most other submissives, their submission can go a lot deeper and sometimes rival those of slaves.
Girls/boys typically pair up with daddies/mommies.
Master/Mistress (38%)
Masters/Mistresses receive complete control over the life of their slave(s), and all responsibilities that come with it. They go a step further than dominants in the sense that their power exchange is present 24/7 and in all aspects of their life (except for negotiated exceptions such as during their office jobs). Their primary focus is to create a stable and safe environment for their slave(s), to allow optimal servitude.
Masters/Mistresses typically pair up with slaves.
Brat Tamer (36%)
Brat tamers are, in essence, dominants who can handle naughty submissives. They find disobedience a form of playfulness from the submissive's side, rather than a form of rudeness, and will take no offence to it, but will still teach the sub a lesson (because, of course, that's why the bratty sub shows such behavior).
Brat Tamers typically pair up with brats.
Vanilla (33%)
Vanilla people have a more traditional view on relationships and sexuality. They're not in need of kink at all, instead they settle for the standard sexuality and relationship model that our society presents them.
Vanillas typically pair up with other vanillas.
Primal (Prey) (30%)
Primals are mainly focused on their natural instincts and they enjoy letting their inner animal out during sex. The key part for primals play is that the participants show their raw, emotional sexual feelings during play. All of the labels, roles, and protocols go out the window, and the prey (you) can become a snarling, growing, clawing animal hell-bent on getting away from its predator.
Preys typically pair up with predators.
Submissive (30%)
Submissives like to follow. Some like to give the control away to their partner(s), some like to have it forcibly taken from them. Some are submissive only in the bedroom, others are submissive throughout their daily life as well (usually with limitations). Unlike the bottom roles (receiving pain/bondage/degradation), being submissive is more about who decides what happens (and takes the responsibility that comes with it) than about the contents of what happens.
Submissives typically pair up with dominants.
Primal (Predator) (27%)
Primals are mainly focused on their natural instincts and they enjoy letting their inner animal out during sex. The key part for primals play is that the participants show their raw, emotional sexual feelings during play. All of the labels, roles, and protocols go out the window, and the prey can become a snarling, growing, clawing animal hell-bent on getting away from its predator (you).
Predators typically pair up with preys.
All-Rounder (25%)
All-rounders have no specific preferences to either category. It doesn't matter who's in charge and who inflicts what on who, they all like (or dislike) it equally much. They have no other suitable category here.
All-rounders typically pair up with other all-rounders.
Brat (24%)
Brats are, in essence, naughty submissives. They find disobedience a form of playfulness rather than a form of rudeness, and require a compatible dominant who will not only teach them a lesson, but also accept that any number of lessons might still not necessarily change this behavior.
Brats typically pair up with brat tamers.
Pervert (22%)
Perverts are sexual freethinkers, not afraid to set traditional views and ethics aside to do what their own value system tells them is best. With their 'anything goes' mentality they will not let societal rules or expectations get in the way of their heart (or, for that matter, their genitals).
Perverts typically pair up with other perverts.
Bondage Receiver (15%)
Bondage receivers likes to be tied up and restrained, using rope and/or other attributes (chains, cuffs, speaders...). Whether for sexual enhancement, for art or just for fun, they enjoy being totally at the mercy of their partner(s).
Bondage receivers typically pair up with bondage givers.
Masochist (13%)
Masochists enjoy receiving (certain types of) pain from their partner(s), usually in a sexual context. Masochism is independent of pain tolerance: it is purely about the ability to enjoy certain levels of pain.
Masochists typically pair up with sadists.
Sadist (13%)
Sadists enjoy inflicting (certain types of) pain on their partner(s), usually in a sexual context. Consent hereby is always assumed.
Sadists typically pair up with masochists.
Degradation Giver (11%)
Degradation givers like to degrade and humiliate their play partner(s), either by acting upon them in a degrading way, or by or by forcing them to do things they consider degrading. Consent hereby is always assumed.
Degradation givers typically pair up with degradation receivers.
Degradation Receiver (8%)
Degradation receiver like to be degraded and humiliated by their play partner(s), either by being acted upon in a degrading way, or by being forced do things they consider degrading.
Degradation receivers typically pair up with degradation givers.
Slave (8%)
Slaves completely hand over the control and responsibilities over their life to their master/mistress. They go a step further than submissives in the sense that their power exchange is present 24/7 and in all aspects of their life (except for negotiated exceptions such as during their office jobs). Serving their master/mistress is their primary focus in life and they rarely have limits for them.
Slaves typically pair up with masters/mistresses.

Finally, an explanation of the economy I understand.
Posted 16 years agoHeidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit.
In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers -- most of whom are unemployed alcoholics --
to drink now but pay later.
She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around
about Heidi's drink now pay later marketing strategy and as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into
Heidi's bar and soon she has the largest sale volume for any bar in Detroit.
By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when she
substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases
massively.
A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets
and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics
as collateral.
At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS
and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then traded on security markets worldwide. Naive investors don't really
understand the securities being sold to them as AAA secured bonds are really the debts of unemployed alcoholics.
Nevertheless, their prices continuously climb, and the securities become the top-selling items for some of the
nation's leading brokerage houses.
One day, although the bond prices are still climbing, a risk manager at the bank (subsequently fired due to his
negativity), decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's
bar. Heidi demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed, they cannot pay back their
drinking debts. Therefore, Heidi cannot fulfil her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy.
DRINKBOND and ALKIBOND drop in price by 90 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by
80%. The decreased bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans.
The suppliers of Heidi's bar, having granted her generous payment extensions and having invested in the securities
are faced with writing off her debt and losing over 80% on her bonds. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy, her beer
supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 50 workers.
The bank and brokerage houses are saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock negotiations by
leaders from both political parties.
The funds required for this bailout are obtained by a tax levied on employed middle-class non-drinkers.

Military service
Posted 16 years agoI've been thinking about it on and off for many years, and it's finally latched onto me. Aside from the possibility of dying, the terrific opportunities presented by our nation's armed forces are simply not available in the civilian world, or are much harder to obtain.
I'm considering joining the Air Force sometime during Summer 2010.
Have you ever served in the military? Do you know anyone who has?
What's your impression of the Air Force in particular?

I feel so bitter and lonely lately -- maybe it's the cold weather. I like snow but all we get is rain, rain, rain!

Posted 17 years agoOkay, I finally relented -- 8 FACTS MEME
Posted 18 years agoThis is the first FA meme I've done. Enjoy -- it's rare.
1 - Post these rules
2 - Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3 - Tags should write a journal of these facts
4 - At the end of the post 8 more peeps tagged and named
5 - Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’
1.) I came in 2nd place for the mascot at the University of Tennessee while I was attending that school.
2.) I am irrationally afraid (phobic, in fact) of pool drains, loud bathroom fans, and other dark, noisy, windy places. Makes my life a bit difficult from time to time.
3.) I -love- freecycling. Look it up.
4.) I can spend 2+ hours making a single bassoon reed for sale but I cannot be bothered to straighten up my desk. It's just too much work.
5.) I play almost 2 dozen different instruments at various levels of competency from world-class (bassoon and kinda flute) to beginnerish (chinese flute, bodhran, etc.)
6.) I am incredibly competitive. I only realized this this past year. If I know I can beat you at something, you won't find that out until I've already succeeded. Personal flaw, sure -- but if I actually go to the trouble to learn something, I'll eventually become incredibly good at it.
7.) I sing barbershop music almost religiously. NO, NOT STRIPED VESTS AND STRAW HATS. That's silly, and barbershoppers only wear those when they want people to 'harken back to a simpler time' or something. I moved from Cincinnati where I received a lot of my musical training to my current home partially to sing with a large chorus here. If it's enough to make -me- move, it's really f'ing good.
8.) I have no self-esteem, but I'm arrogant as shit a lot of the time. It makes for a fragile psyche from time to time, but when I'm in my element, I'm the man. My element, naturally, is a musical environment -- either teaching, playing, or singing. I just absolutely hate my personality, my body (though I've not received one complaint or negative remark about it), and I've never known 'love' or whatever that is, and I doubt I ever will. Other than that I'm freaking peachy.

1.) I came in 2nd place for the mascot at the University of Tennessee while I was attending that school.
2.) I am irrationally afraid (phobic, in fact) of pool drains, loud bathroom fans, and other dark, noisy, windy places. Makes my life a bit difficult from time to time.
3.) I -love- freecycling. Look it up.
4.) I can spend 2+ hours making a single bassoon reed for sale but I cannot be bothered to straighten up my desk. It's just too much work.
5.) I play almost 2 dozen different instruments at various levels of competency from world-class (bassoon and kinda flute) to beginnerish (chinese flute, bodhran, etc.)
6.) I am incredibly competitive. I only realized this this past year. If I know I can beat you at something, you won't find that out until I've already succeeded. Personal flaw, sure -- but if I actually go to the trouble to learn something, I'll eventually become incredibly good at it.
7.) I sing barbershop music almost religiously. NO, NOT STRIPED VESTS AND STRAW HATS. That's silly, and barbershoppers only wear those when they want people to 'harken back to a simpler time' or something. I moved from Cincinnati where I received a lot of my musical training to my current home partially to sing with a large chorus here. If it's enough to make -me- move, it's really f'ing good.
8.) I have no self-esteem, but I'm arrogant as shit a lot of the time. It makes for a fragile psyche from time to time, but when I'm in my element, I'm the man. My element, naturally, is a musical environment -- either teaching, playing, or singing. I just absolutely hate my personality, my body (though I've not received one complaint or negative remark about it), and I've never known 'love' or whatever that is, and I doubt I ever will. Other than that I'm freaking peachy.
