ORIGINAL: AlandSusy He is your Master... you do as your told Oh, really? And does this extend to being told to have sex with a minor? How about robbing a bank? Cheating on the income taxes? Driving recklessly and over the speed limit? Sex with a stranger without a condom? Doing something else extremely dangerous that endangers life and limb? Does this extend to placing yourself in a possition to sacrifice your personhood? How about going to jail as a direct result of his irresponsibility? I certainly hope you see that there is a sometimes a fine line between being a healthy "slave" and being a side of beef, a doormat, a punching bag, an abused piece of chattel that is not valued. Even in TPE, the reality remains that each person remains individually accountable to their Higher Power, personal integrity, and law of the land. "My Master made me do it" just isn't gonig to cut it as an excuse. You may feel that it is incumbent upon you to do whatever anyway. I on the other hand would consider that mindset, with no boundaries whatsoever, to be the complete antithesis of sane consensuality. My question, in response to yours, is "Why in the world would you consider someone who'd order you to do "anything" without care and consideration for how it might harm trust, relationship and his property, worthy of even 10 minutes of your time?" I've met some pretty harsh Dominants. What I've never met is a "real" one (as opposed to a "player" or an abuser/predator in Dom's clothing" with any personal integrity who'd disregard hard limits, or ignore softer ones without a LOT of discussion and deliberation. JMNSHO, and based on years of work in public health, bdsm relationships, and dealing with abused spouses of both sexes outside the public health arena, the statement "He is your Master, you do as you are told", in instances such as the OP's , or those I've mentioned here, is just plain asinine, irresponsible, stupidity. I do not mean to be disrespectful to you as a person, but as you can tell I have EXTREMELY strong feelings on this issue. I've seen what can happen when such attitudes are embraced without limits, boundaries. While I rarely say "never" about anything, I'll say that I've NEVER seen a happy ending to those situations. My apologies to all for the momentary, semi-derailment of this thread. -grace
