Is it wrong for a Master to keep a secret from his submissive?  Regardless of the secret?
Isn't the whole relationship supposed to be built on trust and honesty, openessess and sharing?
Just a little curious?

Depends on the secret...

however..

The core concept of D/s is indeed after all, trust/honesty. Secrets do not breed trust nor honesty, and therefore, are generally frowned upon by myself. Granted this is just my personal opinion.

*secrets* [:'(] <---- me frowning upon secrets

Obviously it would depend on the secret. Do you need to know that he picked his nose while you were in the other room?
If the secret is a way of being dishonest in your relationship, then there is a problem.




KnightofMists -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 3:48:03 PM)

it really depends on the individuals in the relationship and what they want in their relationship....

and not every relationship will be built on trust, honesty, openness and sharing. 


as a note... having secrets in a relatioship doesn't mean their are no trust or can't be trust.

In this instant... trust could be that any secrets that exist will not be harmful or hurtful to the other in the relationship. 




DWCdelight -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 3:51:42 PM)

Honesty is one of the most important things in any relationship, BDSM or vanilla. This is not only important for a slave/submissive to her Dominant/Master, but also from the Dominant/ Master to the submissive/slave.  Honesty is always the best policy and the only way to build a sound relationship.  Lying is most certainly wrong!  Trust, especially in the lifestyle, is one of the most important factors and You cannot build a solid relationship on anything less than total honesty. Keeping a secret, no matter what it is, is not being honest. The first lie begins the "tangled web" you create when you practice to deceive.

Like the others have said, it depends on the secreat.  But no, I don't see it as being wrong.  Perhaps it's a suprise for you?   Or something he is unsure of and doesn't want to get your hopes up about(like maybe getting a promotion).
There are many things.

Basically, if it is a big concern for you, ask him.  And his reaction will tell you some things perhaps.  If it's a big concern have him look you in the eye and tell you it's nothing bad or along those lines.  But that is if you trust him 100%.  But the fact that you are asking means there is doubt and that there is not 100% trust.

So basically it depends on what the secreat is. The lifestyle is about trust and honestly, but that doesn't mean he has to tell you everything per say. 
Can't he say get in the car, and then start driving you somewhere?  Would it matter where he took you?  or would you trust him that he knows what he is doing and that he'll keep you safe?  Or would you have to ask and find out where your path led?
As long as you trust that what he says is true then the secreats do not matter.  So talk to him and ask him.  If you trust his answers great.  If not.  well then there are other issues to contend with then.

Just my honest thoughts....

No not at all, if it is personal to the master then no, just my oppinion...




LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 3:54:34 PM)

As long as he's open about keeping secrets.




breatheasone -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 3:55:23 PM)

Master wants to foster an atmosphere for oneness, keeping secrets isn't very conducive to oneness...so for us secrets wouldn't work out so well.

Actually it can be. 
"master do you know when my next orgasm is?"
"Yes I do my pet"   "Will you tell me please Sir?"
"No, pet it's a secret"
Is that a lie?  is that not being honest?  No.
She must either trust him, or not and consider their relationship in peril.


Not being honest is saying you're not having an affair when the secret is that you are or anything like that really.

FelinePersuasion -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 4:33:38 PM)

It depends on the secret. I had something come up with my daddy dom he was all secretive and mysterious and made me feel alarmed, turned out it was something very simple, and he wasnt telling me because he thought I'd insist he see a dentist if I knew his teeth were hurting him. James is terrified of dentists.

Now if he'd told me he was at work all day, but instead was off scening with someone else, no he'd be in deep shit, because our dynamic don't allow one or the other to play w/ith others with out letting the other know, and we certaintly don't keep what happend in the scene from the other.




smilezz -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 5:01:23 PM)

Thorns and i have no secrets between us.  

I will however state that when it comes to Christmas presents......all bets are off! so to speak........we look each other dead in the eye and LIE!!   then walk away giggling or laughing

~smilezz~

Greetings
(replying without reading the rest of the posts).
I do not keep any damn thing from My Woman who is also My submissive and serves occasionally with a certain slave tendency. We have completely open and honest communications on every conceivable subject to date on the phone, through typed communiques, and in person. The remarkable thing is that there is no difference in the medium of communication...it remains completely comfortable to speak (or type) with her. That in My opinion is only as it should be in any relationship.




Stephann -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 5:26:14 PM)

Smilezz pretty much sums it up for me.

I don't want a relationship with a woman where I have to hide anything.  Neither do I want a relationship, where I absolutely must tell her everything for fear of damaging her somehow because I forgot a detail of my day.  Some secrets are better left as secrets; from Christmas presents, to an unpleasant (and forgettable) days at work.  The issue shouldn't be "I can't tell my partner." 

A similar thread was started this morning, here by the way.

Depends on the secret. Valyraen and I agreed that we really don't need to know everything. What I need to know is what affects me and our relationship. Granted I hear just about everything because, like Stephann said, there is very little (if anything) we can't tell each other. Just stuff that doesn't need to be told.

There are things that, while I don't care if he does them, his hiding them from me would cause me to wonder what he is up to. However, being a girl who loves surprises, I don't mind at all if he outright lies to me to keep a present hidden from me. [:)]




mysticalcreature -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 6:13:20 PM)

ok to clarify, the secret is more of him being involved with another without any discussion, as previously discussed in our dynamic
Is that something that should be secret?




FelinePersuasion -> RE: Master's Secret? (8/30/2007 6:14:24 PM)

no. not in my opnion it shouldn't.

I've found that "always" is a bitch. Honesty might be a fine policy, most of the time, for most people... but there will be an exception somewhere.

honesty is always the best policy.  however.  there are times when saying nothing is much kinder, and some people never learn how to tell things gently rather than harshly.

Are you aware that this is what is actually happening?..Have you discussed your suspicions with him?..If so, has what he said, been a lie to what your info has given you? Do you trust what he has said?.My best advice..confront respectfully, communicate what you think,feel or saw..and go from there..as we in this forum are not part of your dynamic..You need to talk with the one person who is within your dynamic..your Master....Tempting
