Stephann -> RE: Submission… the gift that keeps on giving (9/16/2007 8:19:55 PM)

... To boot, I make it quite clear that a slave 'owns' nothing in my relationships. A slave would then have to own that gift in the first place, to give it to me. Instead, it's already mine by virtue of the nature of our Master/slave relationship.[/quote]
I understand what you're saying here, Stephann, but your logic is circuitous. A slave would indeed own her submission in the first place. She would have to "gift" it to you before you could have a Master/slave relationship.
I would ask you if you are one who believes that your slave never has the right to take back her submission should she lose all faith and trust in you?
Understanding that we suspend disbelief to make 'consensual' slavery function is a necessary componant. The 'slave' in my dynamic has no rights. Period. If she wanted rights, she wouldn't be a slave, she'd simply be a submissive girlfriend (though, technically, my slave is also a submissive girlfriend, but not all submissive girlfriends are slaves.) Her submission is never gifted to me; , I consider it to be a natural response to my dominance. Not every woman will respond to me in this fashion, of course, just as I wouldn't actively seek to dominate every woman in my life. I have found it to be rather difficult, in fact, because as traits they aren't something I turn on and off. One of my bosses was 20 years my senior, with five kids and a loving wife...yet it was clear that she enjoyed submitting to me (in the limited context that our relationship permitted.) She took every opportunity to spend time with me in a professional, and often personal situations. I don't think she liked me for me, so much as she enjoyed the feeling of learning from (with a rather strong componant of obeying) me (I was giving her English classes, since she had never lived abroad.)
The submissive girlfriend, the one with a Social Security number, a signed lease, parents, co-workers, volunteer obligations, a college degree, and weekly appointments to her therapist has the right to terminate the relationship at any time. The slave inside her, does not. Instead, the slave simply terminates the suspension of disbelief, unlplugs from the matrix, and carries on with 'real' life. She doesn't do so 'as a slave' but rather as an adult withdrawing consent. While this may be drawing a distinction that a woman can't be a slave simultaneously, the reality is that what we refer to as a 'slave' obviously is an internally accepted, externally maintained state. It's neither a legal, nor culturally binding state, thus it is fluid (and indeed, is 'switched' on and off depending on circumstances.)
I hope that explains a little better.
Stephan
