...What if Hugh and his Master decide to not have a poly household, attend a minimal amout of munches, events, playparties, etc., if at all?... regardless of whether Al has other slaves, or if and where they hang out with other Masters and/or slaves, this slave would consider them to be engaging in an alternative lifestyle, because the society and culture that they live in does not accept or recognize an Owner/property or Master/slave relationship as healthy and/or legal to engage another in. quote:
What if they are solid and comfortable, content in the simple transfer of power that has occured with the two? this slave doesn't consider power transfer an alternative relationship style. it is a very common and accepted part of the society and culture in which this slave has lived and lives, with or without the labels Dom/sub/switch, etc. quote:
It seems to me that the only distinction between a vanilla and a lifestyler is someone who makes the effort to socialize with others who've chosen the same lifestyle...Would you consider someone who never attends events, but is living the lifestyle every other way, vanilla? there are folks who make that distinction, but that is not this slave's opinion. If Al decides to attend munches with Hugh, allows Hugh to post to a message board, etc., that would seem to this slave to be along the lines of what pleases Al. If he never allows Hugh contact with others who also engage in alternative lifestyles, it wouldn't make their lifestyle less alternative to this slave. quote:
I'm not trying to ruffle feathers...and i sincerely hope i am not... not this slave's anyway...and the same to you! this slave's perceptions and opinions are not intended as one-true-way-isms, generalities or insults for/to anyone.[:)]
