ORIGINAL: junecleaver I've actually been contemplating consent within my own relationship. I basically gave him the right to do whatever he wants, which means I consented to a whole bunch of stuff implicitly that I honestly maybe didn't even think about? And I never agreed to obey him completely or to obey him at all. I agreed to become his property. Like a dog or cat or car, I don't always run the way he wants. Just because my car wouldn't start this morning doesn't diminish my possession of it. Don't get me wrong---I enjoy obeying him and the consequences of disobedience are never pretty. Not to mention, doing things his way makes our relationship run so much smoother. Plus, who wants to be with someone who is disrespectful? Love and good dose of common sense are generally why I choose to obey. But...I don't consider disobedience breaking the original commitment I made to him. So for me, consent and obedience are different and do not necessarily go hand in hand. I doubt that was what you were going for, but I'm at the end of my post and there you are. I enjoyed your post, but I think you avoided the essential question. Let's say you were given an instruction and for your own reasons disobeyed, how would you feel and react if he took it upon himself to force your obedience - be it through manipulation, intimidation, physical force, the application of pain or punishment, et al, continued until you yielded and obeyed? To take your car analogy - if you decided to get the toolkit out and make it start, whether it wants to or not. Some cars can be pretty damned ornery in the morning, you have to put them in their place! Rather like junecleaver, when I became *owned* it was understood that I gave M the right to do *whatever he wants *. Obedience wasn't a requirement, as such, but accepting the consequences definitely were. In my relationship he can and will force until I yield. agirl
