ORIGINAL: tulipgoose Why wouldn't it be equal in worth, but merely different in context and concept? Why do some feel this way? Why do some not? (Please explain your own situations, as to why you feel as you do) *smiles* I know what works for whoever works for whoever. I believe in living and let living. I respect all ways which are respectful of my own ways, and accept in a respectful manner many that aren't. I can only answer for myself and no one else as to what determines my "place" in our dynamic. I really do not know what my "place" is to be honest. I am not lower than him, but he has very high expectations of me (these have increased lately). Mine is a fluid place, and he will not let me forget that he is the one that determines it... probably not a very good clear answer, but it is the best I can do. I would also like to address slaverosebeauty quote:
ORIGINAL:slaverosebeauty Seriously, I EARNED my title of 'slave' years ago, I did not take it, I earned it; r/t, hard work, training {12 areas at last count}, learning. I was called 'submissive' by partners, then after a while, I did earn my 'title' as you call it, that's one reason why I loathe being called 'a sub' that little part of me in the back will get fired up and pissed. Its a BIG step backward to be called such after you have worked hard for something. Its like being a VP of a company to having someone call you a 'junior partner.' You earned your title then someone disrespects you in such a malicious manner. I am not going to address the "submissive being lower than a slave" concept you have going on. I will say that until you provide an answer of who exactly trained you "years ago" I am not inclined to believe you have earned the title of anything except teller of tall tales...I have heard a few in my day, and this slave camp for errant submissives that must earn their degree in slavedom does not pass the sniff test.
