ORIGINAL: shellzbythesea Anyhow...as a side note...i did not ASK for his protection. We were on the phone the other day and he offered it as a suggestion. i wasn't sure it was the best idea...because of EXACTLY the majority of what was expressed above. Personally, viewing an ad like that would probably make me think the sub didn't have a mind of her own. He does not feel this way about me, at all. He's quite aware of my level of intelligence and that was part of his attraction to me when we were together. It was simply a suggestion and i soooo appreciate the fact that he cares enough to try to help me out. But again, i told him i didn't think most Doms would appreciate this...and that is why i came here to ask the view points of others. Greetings shellzbythesea, I don't have a problem with an adviser/'girlfriend', but I would if I thought He were running your life. I do tend to be ambivalent, though: 1) I believe what I say stands on it own, and can be read by others without losing value. BUT 2) I do often say things which I might consider personal, to Myself or to My prospective slave, and want to KNOW it is not going to a reading circle somewhere. Without going into specifics, I have a prospective slave who has a medical problem. My slave went to be with a Master local to the slave to spend five days. There was a bad reaction, on the slave's part, to waking in restraints in the middle of the night the first night. Then, the slave was getting a head cold. As I am reading the slave's e-mail, I am getting more and more on edge. The situation drove Me to tears. If the slave were here, then I could be SURE of the doctor visits, prescriptions filled, medication taken on time, hospital visits, tests, rest, food, et cetera are all taken care of properly. I would know that because I would oversee it Myself. Every little bit! My slave is My Responsibility, and I cannot take that lightly. My prospective slave lives alone, on the east coast. Would having a 'protector' help the slave? I have medical problems, too. So I know how to deal with these things. My Engineering training makes Me meticulous about handling problems. How do I know the protector is any good? So, I have to agree with some of the people above: "It depends." Every situation is different. I will say, if I open a profile and see "collared", then I click "hide" and move on. "Protector" and "collared" seem much alike to many people. And, yes, I have had problems here, too. My advice, FWIW, is read His posts here, read His blogs--if, indeed, He has any--and keep e-mailing with Him. Talk on the 'phone. Meet first. Other people on here have far more experience than I, but they seem to recommend the same things. I wish you success. Sincerely, Master Dave
