In the large bureaucracy one route to promotion is the triumph of arse licking over talent. Other ways are being an enthusiastic team player for the greater good and an enthusiastic executioner of orders. Thus as managers tend to promote in their own image there there is a perpetuation of the same personality type in the bureaucratic command chain. The dominant personality will tend to the self employed or take the entrepreneurial route and as is often the case will sell out when the original business has been built to a size where they loose contact with the essence of the business and use that to bank roll the next project. Less talented alpha personality types will not fare well in the corporate world and will tend to the more solitary occupations. Sweeping generalization yes..... | |

I would say your proffessional life and your sexuality are two different things. I have known subs who were managers while on the other hand known Doms who are, including myself in that category. Personally I have found that I have become more Dom the more senior I have become so there are no straighforward answers!! | |

I do not see any connection between my kinks and the work I do. Unless you include wanting to be good at my job and wanting to be a good top. | |

Employment - no, because the retired are unemployed and therefore uncategorisable by that measure as are those who sign-on or who euphemistically are 'looking for work' as are the permanently-on-the-sick; all uncategorisable by that measure. Don't forget the students too (uncategorisable by many measures). There's also the existence of natural sexual D/s role and r/l D/s role providing the option for 4 simple combinations when you exclude switching and poly/group scenes. Plainly the hierarchies you find yourself in in r/l, non-sexual roles influence the freedom you have to adopt your ideal role and then the millions of words on IC et al all about scene compatibility emphasise the freedom to cherche la femme / le homme who'll match your D/s and sexual preference ideals. In r/l the practicalities of earning a crust mean you'll probably compromise your ideal for all sorts of complicated reasons but tied into social acceptance of one type or another whereas your scene self has more freedom to be truer to what you think you are/want.

For me SM is purely sexual. I don't really do much D/s. This means that what I am sexually bears no relationship to what I am like in everyday life. In any case I knew i was kinky when I had barely started secondary school and had no idea of what job I would do.  Happiness is a warm bum |
