i've run across those men whom give it and feel that it holds no purpose other than to state who a slaves owner may be.
looking back on the past i know it meant the world to me

What is the significance of the collar?
No one will likely admit it, but for SOME doms and subs a collar is merely a means to attach the leash.
The collar, used foremost on animals after all, represents a way to degrade and humiliate another to the level of a dog for appropriate D/S purposes, either control or play.
This can include a dom placing a naked sub except for the collar into a dog cage.
Well, you have a truthful answer.

Only from you. I've never once and will not attach a leash to the collar around Robert's neck. If I choose to engage in something that requires such, I will remove the collar that shows OWNERSHIP and replace it with one for play.
His collar of ownership doesn't even have a ring to attach a clip...

And by the way...a collar on an animal is foremost for attaching a tag of ownership....how many cats do you see on a leash? I don't see many. Yet cat collars are everywhere. How many dogs live in the backyard and never get walked on a leash? I own two dogs...one that gets walked on a leash and one who doesn't need to be on a leash. They both have collars.

If we don't show ownership of our dogs and cats then the ASPCA takes them away.

If I don't show ownership of my slave then he may get trolled.

To me a collar is just a collar. It would be special to me because he gave it to me, but it would not threaten our relationship if I forgot to wear it. Just like our relationship wouldn't be threatened if I forgot to put the ring he gave me back on. I would sob if I lost it, I feel odd when I'm not wearing it but it wouldn't hurt our relationship.

He owns my heart. The symbols are nice, but I try not to put too much emphasis on them. Things are only things. They can be stolen, lost or broken, but that won't hurt the relationship.

at the moment, the subject of collars makes me physically ill with shame.

i'm collared. i'm PROUD of being collared, and that Sir wants me. that Sir STILL wants me after all this...

i'm poly. and married. and my husband dislikes it. he dislikes that i'm submissive (although if i dont wait on him hand and foot, he isnt happy) he dislikes that i have an outside relationship (but he's off at his g/f's house at the moment).....and he throws fits if he sees my collar. so i cant wear it.

i cant wear it to the point of tearfully having to ask Sir what i can do....to the point that Sir told me to set it aside, put it away, because he would rather THAT than know i am getting grief on a daily basis over it. i am wearing a silver chain....it seems a shakle, because i would rather have my collar....

kitten, who is grieving and needs her Sir, but isnt likely to see him for a while more. LDR's suck at times.

I would love a collar, made from the finest jewels and the deepest mental, but then, I am told a collar is just a state of mind, I have come to really beleieve this statement.
I also wonder of you can ever stop the collared feeling, or is like a hymen, once taken, it can never be yours to give away again.

The only collar my submissive will wear is the one I give him, when he is collared.

Ha!

I just read my post from last August. I still feel the same exact way. In nine days my Daddy will take off the collar I have worn since March of 2006 and give me a new one that will signify our permanent commitment to each other and this lifestyle. We are excited, nervous, and joyful!

To some of us, a collar is very special and has deep meaning.

what is means to wear such ownership of One is pride...
within this He allows Life and truer meanings in the Path
too many play games here and honestly have no real understanding. Like yourself, this one was given at the age of 15 to One and served proudly until His age.
this media has allowed Master to find her and soon will be joining Him.

As you said there are many posts about what the collar means but I must say that was beautifully written and totally mirrors my feeling on it too.

I have not yet received a collar but I really long for it now.... I know though when it happens I will truely deserve it and honor it with all my being.

Thank you for such an insightful post

I get to receive my collar on Friday :-) I'm rather excited (giddy as a little kid), as this is a first for me. I was hoping to receive it this weekend, but it didn't arrive in the mail by the time both of us left our respective homes, so I'm having to wait another week.

My Dom (Sir) and I opted for one that was very discrete, looking more like a necklace. Because of my position in the community, I can't reveal the nature of my relationship with him, and as I have to look professional on a regular basis, I'm rather fond of the one that was chosen. For us, it's not anywhere near the symbolism of "engagement" or long-term committment (we're still trying to figure out what will happen in the next couple of years, so we're crossing that bridge later), but as a symbol of my belonging to him. As we don't get to see each other on a regular basis (3.5 hour drive), it will be a constant reminder to me that there is somebody who cares very much for me who wants to devote his life to my health, safety, and well-being.

It's a discrete reminder for the two of us, while keeping the nature of our relationship low-key. He loves some of the inconspicuous ways that I express my submission. We visited the house of a friend, and when all of the seats on the couches were taken, I sat myself at his feet (the first time I've done that) and put a hand on his knee. He's finally gotten me used to replacing "alright" and "yeah" with "yessir", which is a personal favorite of his.

Dolce, who is looking forward to her first collar! :-D

Hi LiveRaven
It was nice to read that you use the title of pet for a submissive. I also have a pet but uncollared for now.When I offer him the collar I offer a bond of caring and responsibility he will always belong to me, he can relax knowing I watch for him.

For me, the collar serves as a tool, a place to hang the leash.. when I cannot be with Master, it does help me to feel closer to Him, not as close as being chained to His bed, or at His foot mind you but in those times of need, it is very nice. I have never needed one to tell me I am owned, I feel that with each and every breath I take.

My former Master collared me on our second meeting. We were both new to the lifestyle and, thinking back on it, didn't really know what we were doing at first. Because of this, that collar didn't mean that much to me then.

I currently wear a probation collar given to me by a Dom who has become a very important part of my life in the few weeks I have known him. I felt an incredibly intense surge of pleasure and excitement when he unexpectedly presented me with his probation collar a short time after our first meeting. I saw it as a sign of interest on his part in pursuing a budding relationship and I was happy and honoured to accept it.

I don't know how long the probation will last or even if he will ever consider me worthy of wearing his permanent collar (altough I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm on the right track -- but I don't want to be presumptuous about it). But what I do know is that when and if he decides to bestow me with his collar, it will have a much greater significance to me than if he had just collared me right away. It would mean that I have earned his respect and his affection and that he considers me worthy of building a lasting relationship together. It would be his way of showing me his commitment to our relationship. As for me, accepting his collar would mean that I am ready and willing to belong to him, with all that entails. It would also mean that I could call him "Master" instead of "Sir", which I have to admit is something I am longing to do more and more.

Some people have compared the collar to a wedding ring. For me, in vanilla terms, being collared would be like going from a casual relationship to a serious commitment.

Wearing Masters collar to me instills a sence of pride, not that I didnt have one before but its a different sence, one that when you look at me I glow, and I feel special cause no one else has Masters collar only me I am lucky enough to be able to serve him. I love Masters collar because its just a visual of him owning me I always feel owned but having it around my neck is just a constant reminder whenever I feel it. I prticularly like my collar because it also keeps me from doing things I wouldnt want to do and things I shouldnt do. Having Master give me the collar also made me feel special in a way. I dont know these are just my thoughts and feeling hehe.
