First off I am new so I don't know any of you well, so pardon if I offend anyone, it is never my intention. I agree with it being a problem, the trust issue is lost and that is tough to gain back. That said, I also tend to play devil's advocate and try to look from all sides. The only situation that I can see this as undrestandable (not excusable) is if he has expressed a deep need that the Dom is unable/unwilling to satisfy, or allow satisfaction. Example: Someone I know is new to the lifestyle, his wife is also new, and wants to be his owner, but she can not flog him without drinking first, and even then, it's not well. He is s truck driver and comes through my town occasionally, and has been to the local club, and has experienced a real flogging (misunderstanding of limits between his wife and he) when he shouldn't have, but now he realizes how deep a need it is for him to have that release. She is not even willing to compromise because she is extremely insecure and thinks he is looking to replace her (I know he loves her, and that is so not the case) and no matter what he does or says to reassure her, she is still suspicious. Now I don't encourage him to lie, but how is he to prove his loyalty if not given the opportunity to do so? Ownership to me also includes some sort of responsiblity to at least listen, and consider the needs of the sub and try to find a way to at least compromise. He will not play again without her express and clear permission, but I could see his need and her denial of it is going to eventually damage the part of their relationship that does work. So what should he do? Personally, if the relationship was not working out and I was not getting needs met that I felt that strongly about, I would end the relationship, but he really doesn't want to do that. I also think she can't really be his owner since she doesn't really have a desire to help him, just the desire to control him in a very selfish way. (btw.. she is allowed to play with others at will) So does he end the relatiionship, or deny that need and have it tear them both up in the long run. I think I could understand a little cyber in this case if that helped him any. Lying is NEVER acceptable to me, but I am also very open to discussion and compromise whether it is my Master, or my subs. Trust however can never be compromised. Just another point of view... NOTE: To Mistress Taboo... I did not copy the song from your tagline !! Too funny, I've been using it for years, just a different line from the same song. Jewel Bi, Poly, and Switch... I don't believe in limiting my options "I'm a bitch, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on my knees"... Meredith Brooks "The Bitch"
