Or know someone who has? Im just curious, not really looking to do it or anything...

What exactly is TPE again? Is it something pertaining to a friends with benefits type relationship or a sex buddy? Or is it something different?

TPE = Total Power Exchange. It's a type of BDSM relationship where the Dom controls every aspect of the Sub's life. In other words, it's a relationship where one holds all the power and the other holds none.

I see. I thought the name looked familiar. I prefer co dominant or switch physical relationships myself but I can understand the appeal of TPE.

It's not my cup of tea either. I prefer relationships that don't use BDSM myself, but can understand to some extent why some people like that sort of thing.

I like BDSM personally, but I think I would get bored with having complete control over somebody because it would be too easy. Where's all the fun in absolution?

I do not believe it would be easy... Maybe I'm looking at it from an angle in that I would likely be in the submissive role (if were to do this), and it involves total and complete trust in another human being... Hard to do when one has been hurt a lot so not so trusting anymore... I think the only person I could possibly imagine doing this sort of thing is with my ex-t... But no he is not interested.

You have a valid point. I agree that being in the submissive role of a TPE relationship would be hard because of reasons you stated. Being in the dominant role which would be what I would choose if I were in a TPE relationship would be easy and would thus, bore me in the long term.

All I would want from a partner is a degree of loyalty and respect along with a degree of control over the relationship itself and my space when I want it. Loyalty is all good and well but I want somebody who can think for themselves and function without me when I'm not around.

Yeah, I get that. I don't think I understand the psychology behind either role. I mean why would some like the dom role and not get bored. What would drive a person to want total control over another person. And at the same time, what drives a person to want another to have total control over them? The whole thing is just interesting or maybe even fascinating to me.

Nope. Have no interest in controlling anyone or being controlled.
