ORIGINAL: Vanatru HisSongtress, Since you are so open-minded, what do you think of this scenario: You belong to the household and not a sub to a particular dom. Whoever happens to be at home at the time, and have some interest, might (or might not) use you for whatever mundane or other purpose they are interested in. Since you don't belong to them specifically, they probably all have their own sub(s) that they focus most of their attention on, or are more likely to use you while they are between subs. Vanatru, That is a possible scenerio.... I am not sure that I would consider being "dommed" by a " household" (okay, that was just a little joke). Kidding aside, if that was my negotiated relationship within the house and I not responsible to one person directly--but to all, then yes, that would be my role. If there was a need, then I would serve as needed. If that meant that I was not a primary sub to anyone....then, that was what I signed on for. (I really am not interested in the "family" setting at this point in my development. Many people fail to acknowledge that the "family" or "household" setting is only ONE form of poly arrangement.) Additionally, you make it sound as if that role (the "in-between sub") is something "less than." Just because an EMT is only "used" during emergencies when the "real doctor" isn't available....doesn't make the role of the EMT any less valuable. I have learned that I do come into people's lives for short periods (and I am not talking about sex here) to serve them as they transition from one place to another. I am honored to have that role in their lives. I have learned a great deal as both the "in-between sub" and as a secondary in poly relationships. I learned what my needs are, what my skills are, how I can be instrumental in the lives of others. This does not demean in me anyway..... it only prepares me and makes me more valuable for the next situation. Those that I am secondary in poly relationships are proud of my service to others and of my growth; it makes me more valuable to them. To the Dominant that has taken me in what I suspect is to be my primary relationship, I am a precious property with many skills and talents to be discovered, used, and appreciated. (And, again..... this is NOT about sex...but that is whole other thread.) Thank you AquaticSub for showing another reason that this scenerio is not a "bad thing" but just a different thing. (By the way.... I miss seeing you.... :-) ) best! song
