I think tact is an important thing. One of the reasons I think "white lies" are ok is that peole seem to have a large problem with tact. It seems to be easier to be brutally honest, and cruel, and then say "well, you wouldn't want me to lie, would you?" then to come up with a polite way to say something. In light of my belief in the lazyness of people, I think white lies like that are ok. If one is dying, and one is told one will live...well, I wouldn't call that a white lie. I'd say it isn't a good thing. However, if I have a huge zit I can't do anythign about, I'd much rather be told it isn't very noticable than that it makes me look like rudolph.

quote: ORIGINAL: darksparkle feline what is your answer to this question? OK I'll address lying in general first. I think that for those not gifted with the ability of tactful speech, it is impossible not to. Nobody wants to be hurtful. (well most don't) Personally, I'd rather you tell me my ass looks huge in those pair of pants, rather then let me go out in public in them. Some people just don't have the gift of eloquent speech. In fact I just recently had a friend tell me I look old in my new profile picture. And although it was a little harsh at first, I took it in the spirit it was given. I am old. [:D] I have issues with lies and liars. I do not surround myself with any one who I know does it. If you don't respect me enough to be honest with me, then go fck yourself. Which brings me to my answer to the original question . . . . . NO. Sorry people. If I am trying to establish a trusting relationship with "you", I am being upfront and straight forward with "you" and "you" lie?! I'm going to start doubting things. "You", your "word" and your "actions and motives". And I'm not talking that bllsh*t about surprises etc. Come on people, we're all adults here. (or should be) Like I said before, I have issues with lies and liars. I also have issues with people who feel the need to keep secrets. But that's a whole other thread.[;)] Thanks everyone for your participation, [image]local://upfiles/17000/52B08EDF448E47FBBD3B78634DB6B96A.gif[/image]

(or should be) I share this same viewpoint with you feline. I have found that the honesty of another to be very important in the success of any relationship I am a part of. For myself dishonesty breeds lack of both trust and respect while it greatly disrupts my sense of security. Others may thrive on the drama dishonesty creates. I do not.

Let alone since age 8. Could it happen? Maybe. Sorry if I upset people, but I don't believe it. To answer Feline's question: No it is not ok for a Master, Dom, Domme, sub etc to lie. Honesty is the basis of all relationships especially ones over the net be they vanilla or bdsm.

rwmbk -> RE: Issues of trust (7/17/2005 1:40:56 PM)
Well thats a terrible way to feel about it. If you somehow justify lying because other people do, sooner or later everyones morals are slowly degraded. So whats next then? I suppose selling something on eBay and never shipping it is alright then too?

dominmd -> RE: Issues of trust (7/17/2005 4:36:31 PM)
I'm not justifying anything. I am saying that people will, can and do lie. Is it wrong? Hell yes it is. But that does not change the fact that people lie. We can argue this until we are blue in the face. Will it change anyone here or out in the real world? The answer is No, it will not. And I do not appreciate sarcasm, in a topic like this.

BlouLady -> RE: Issues of trust (7/18/2005 6:26:31 AM)
NO,NO, NO, NO, NO! (except for things like birthdays.)

Thanks in advance, [image]local://upfiles/17000/B945553D68A646ADA2A1B172ED62BAC9.gif[/image] It's not okay for people in a relationship founded on, and requiring the deepests levels of, trust to ever lie. That said, I'm sure I can construct a situation where it is "okay." But as a mindfark or the like? That's between the two folks, and their agreement. Personally, I wouldn't want to have any part of it. sudja

No big deal, no real reason for telling you, but they do. Then a time later you find that they are doing exactly what they volunteered to you that they weren't. Is a lie not still a lie?

For example, I know a woman who does not consider it "sex" when she speaks with somebody over the phone and talks them through getting their rocks off. I do consider that "sex" in so far as fidelity goes, as do many others. If that woman and her partner had an agreement where she could not "engage in sex with others" and she said she was not - she would be telling the truth under her personal definitions. sudja

Hello There, I think especially in a BDSM dynamic honesty is very necessary. When you trust someone your bond will be stronger. If someone lies and you're not sure if you can believe them it affects my ability to trust them in any arena. I'm not sure who wrote it but htere's the expression "The Truth Will Set You Free". I try to live by this motto. Sincerely, sub suzanne

Hissweetshiv -> RE: Issues of trust (7/20/2005 7:30:03 AM)
I have to say that in the scenario you gave (a person denying an activity they were later found to be participating in) that no, a lie is not acceptable. Someone else suggested that the denial was a way to test for reaction... i don't think so. It's just as easy to say "I once met someone who..... (insert activity)" as it is to lie and tell someone who is supposed to be able to trust you that you would never... whatever. As for the "do i look fat in this?" type of lie, i have told everyone who ever had the opportunity to answer that to me - if i ask you that question, i want an HONEST answer. I want to know if i look okay, not have a false sense of security about something i look awful in. Surprises however.... different story (obviously). My best birthday of my life was when my family and Master conspired to fly Him up for a week. It nearly killed Him to not tell me in the month or so they were planning it, but He managed lol... and it was a wonderful surprise and i wouldn't want to change things like that. So - is it ever ok to lie? Only for a positive purpose - if you want to be tactful, then do so. It doesn't require lying.

Not sure exactly what you mean - but the example I gave was from real life - a woman told her submissive she was not having sex with others. She was sincere, and believed she was following their agreement. The submissive knew about the phone chatting and thought she was lying. It took some time for them to straighten things out. sudja

quote: Not sure exactly what you mean - but the example I gave was from real life...orig:sudja The author Don Miguel Ruiz explains it very well and in detail in his book "The Voice of Knowledge". The following is an excerpt that this slave has experienced in real life, too many times to count: quote: If one hundred people perceive the same event, you hear one hundred different stories and everybody claims that his or her story is the true story. Of course, it is only true for that person, and your story is only true for you. But the "voice of knowledge" starts searching for everything in your mind to make yourself right. You even look for allies from the outside to join you in your crusade to be right and make the other person wrong. Why try to justify what you believe? You don't need to make others wrong because you already know that in their story, they are right. In your story, you are right. Then being right or wrong is over; you no longer have to defend what you believe. When we reach this level of awareness, it is easier not to take what other people say personally. We know that every human around us is a storyteller, and everyone distorts the truth. What we share with one another is just our perception; it is just our point of view. And it is completely normal because the only thing we have is our point of view. This is how we describe whatever we witness.

How many experiences? I'm hung up on liars. Not necessarily lies. Although when I see one single person contradicting themselves over and over. The lifestyle I am in does not allow for contradictions from day to day. That becomes one of my pet peeves. Liars and exposing them. I live my life by integrity, I realize many don't even know the meaning of the term. It doesn't mean my life is a lie, actually it means the exact opposite. So, whatever studies you can quote I'd love to read.
