Alyoop -> Failing collars. (10/5/2007 7:51:34 AM)
[Quote/] I suppose that every man has the right to his own conclusions with a girl. But, I agree with this and always have. It goes to my old opinion that a failed slave is most likely the result of the master(owner). Like chew toy said in her post subsequently her owner pushes back harder. I look at it this way. Are you truly a master of anything if you give up on it? That sounds dreadfully close to surrendering to me. Live well, Bull [Quote/] Greetings again all, I read this in another forum and some thoughts came to mind. How do you view failing a collar? Does it depend on the circumstance as to who the blame lies on? I have a hard time believing that every failing is the owners fault. To me (and this is 100% just my own opinion) if there was no Mastery to begin with there really wasn’t any submission. We live in this wonderful world of consensual slavery, I submit to whom I choose to. Or else you can carry your happy butt to jail! But unfortunately in the world of consensual slavery we come upon times where we don’t just automatically give that submission. It has to be almost in a word, taken from us. So if that is the case and a sub is withholding submission, is it really the owners fault for the relationship not growing? I am scatter brained today in my thoughts, but still wanted to put it out there. I cannot wait to hear ya'lls answers!

It takes TWO people to make a relationship work.

Sabella -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 8:04:26 AM)
Great post! I think like with any relationship there can be no-fault failure. Say a person who is excellent at what they do, but not quite what the company was looking for when they hired them. Or two people get together & they just don't quite click long term. People may have ideas of what they want entering a relationship, but those can change as the relationship evolves. Maybe they aren't willing or able to go the extra mile that the other person requires. Maybe the other person is asking too much? or not enough? /ramble MY definition of "failing a collar" would be the sub wasn't found acceptable thru lack of effort, not personality or training or compatibility. In which case they aren't trying to achieve mutually agreed upon goals. I guess the same could apply for "failing a leash" or something for the Dom :D

IamJustMe2C -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 9:29:42 AM)
Personally I have found that when a D's relationship does not last it is not because of the collar or the submission or lack there of. But the people use it as a excape from the relationship. Just as the Vanilla do when they say your nagging me to death or you dont love me like you used to. Think hard about this, think about your past relationships that have failed.............. Ok the dynamics of the realtionship change that is just growth. This is just there way of saying I dont want to grow any more. It dosent matter if it in a D's or Vanilla relationship. But you also mention something else in your post that drew me in. So if that is the case and a sub is withholding submission To with hold submission is natural. subconsicually you want to test you Top and see there hold over you. yes the Top can try as hard as he want to to force you to do this and that but because its on your "hard limit shelf" there is no way you will. But if the Top can gentley caress you and stroke you and reach up to the shelf and just pull a fiber at a time off of what ever it is you have up there before you realise it you have just experianced something that you were afraid of or at one time had a hard limit on. This is what I call taking submission blindley. Realise here that this is just a example but it can be true in all aplications.

meticulousgirl -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 9:29:43 AM)
It does take two to make something work but if the Master has choosen to just give up without much going wrong that really isn't fair or justifiable to the sub. If there is something more serious in the underlying grounds than maybe but to just give up at least to me......it's not only not fair but should be seen as a last resort. ~meticulous~

And who is to say that that every D/s relationship that has failed was due to dominance, submission, or lack there of. I also agree. Two people with full effort and are compatible is the only way a healthy relationship survives. To defend Bull a little, I am wondering if he was not talking more about the responsibility of a Master to be proactive in the relationship and just being reactive can be very problematic in a power exchange relationship.

Mercnbeth -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 10:27:40 AM)
to this slave, the collar, as well as the leash are both a symbol of a specific relationship. that relationship might last for an hour, a weekend or a lifetime. if the relationship fails or ceases to be, then all parties share in the failing, or the end. some suffer sorrow and grief, others...joy and contentment. blame would only be relevant to those who aren't fully present, therapy sessions, replicant-support issues or courtroom appearances required after the fact, as or if necessary.

HisCompletely -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 10:36:27 AM)
I agree, it takes two.

txgirlneedsister -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 1:37:31 PM)
I guess I just think out of the box here. I think a HUGE responsibility falls onto the owners. Yes there are some instances where a sub f’s up a situation. But I only give my submission to a select few, and if a Dom just throws it away then I would feel betrayed. Must just be me though. TX girl

I know Bull a little through correspondence and I would be willing to bet what you describe is more on to what he was getting on about. I think most on here, at least from threads I have read, believe leader is a vital part of being a dominant and therefore if something failed as a leader the normal quality of a leader is to take responsibility for that failure. I think this is not the same as the failure is always blamed on the dominant but just a dominant accepting responsibility of the failure, not that the submissive cannot or should not feel responsible for their part. Maybe splitting hairs, I know, but that is the difference in my eyes to what was trying to be communicated.

The castle built on sand........... Slips into the sea....... Eventually.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Failing collars. (10/5/2007 11:13:15 PM)
Well, I do believe ONE person can singlehandedly be the demise of a relationship, but it definitely takes two to make it work and anyone who worries so much about placing blame isn't a good candidate for any relationship with me.

obis -> RE: Failing collars. (10/6/2007 1:53:52 AM)
Yeah, it's rarely one person's fault if a relationship fails, and NEVER one person's credit if it succeeds [:D] I certainly failed as a master the one time a slave took off my collar for something other than "normal" life reasons.

Sabella -> RE: Failing collars. (10/6/2007 3:01:00 AM)
So what was the "abnormal" life reason Obis? just curious now.

littlebitxxx -> RE: Failing collars. (10/6/2007 4:07:29 AM)
I agree it takes two to make it or break it. A Master can't master a sub who won't submit. A sub who tries to submit to a Master that won't take it has no one to submit to. If she can give, he's gotta be able to take. If he wants to take, she's gotta give.

obis -> RE: Failing collars. (10/6/2007 5:09:38 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: Sabella So what was the "abnormal" life reason Obis? just curious now. LOL, by normal life reasons I mean things like moving, growing and needing different things than I could offer, etc. Typical reasons for a relationship to end where it isn't anyone's fault or a failure, just a reflection that most relationships aren't meant to last for a lifetime. I'm friends with all of my (other) exes. The one "abnormal" reason was basically where things went truly wrong with the relationship -- I let her down as a master in some ways I wasn't fully aware of, she wanted so much to please that she didn't bring it to my attention, resentment started, and then other circumstances conspired to create more emotional distance between us at the worst possible time. She had my complete trust and love to the very end, and used that to drag things out, deceive me and hurt me in a fairly cruel way. So although the immediate cause of the relationship ending was her actions, the seed was planted by my own failure to keep her respect as a master. Painful lessons to learn about expectations, communication and many other things.

Absolutely, and that has nothing to do with D/s.
