Who's Gift Is It Anyway? - 1/13/2008 12:26:23 AM

Status: offline 		How do you feel about a submissive/slave giving a gift such as a paddle, flogger or restraint to their dominant/owner for His/Her birthday?
If the item is to be used on the sub/slave, is it really a present for their dominant/owner or is it another way to illicit playtime from the dominant/owner? 
 
 
My answer:
Nothing wrong with my boy wanting to illicit play, but I would want to be the one to decide when I use it. If my submissive expected me to use it right away (such is the case with most gifts) and I didn't choose to, my boy may be a little hurt that I didn't want to play with it as soon as I got it. He would understand of course, but I think it would hurt his feelings somewhat.
 
Say you?

Thank you for responding takenbyjohnro7. If both parties are enjoying it, wouldn't it stand to reason that the gift was then for both of them and not just the dominant?  

Edited for grammar

Depends on the toy. I wouldn't give him a vib, even though we love using them in our play. However, if I knew he had his eye on a particular paddle or flogger I would get it for him. I don't that asking to play since it would be something that he wanted already.

So yes, it is really a present for my Master.

Status: offline 		With the lingerie example, I believe the term is "Lingerie isnt a gift, its a request" With that in mind, if a sub gave me a new toy for my birthday, or for any reason, I would graciously accept it as the thought of them trying to get me something that I would like that noone else would consider getting for me. Or, in shorter terms, I would think it rather thoughtful

-I know im ranting, not enough sleep, too much sugar, that sort of thing.

I love all of these answers. Those who are of the subly nature, your Masters should be proud. Those who are of the Masterly nature, your belief in the motives of your subs are equally as impressive.
I rather like the idea of my boy giving me a gift from his heart with no motives but to make me smile :)

Any gifts are always for Himself otherwise he'd only ever get 16 ga needles for presents. ::grins::

Additionally, I don't need to illicit playtime. I can ask then he will or will not play with me depending on his mood. Works for us.

Status: offline 		I don't give Daddy D.s presents for his birthday, mainly cause there's things he wants more. However if he wanted it or would apreciate it, I see no problem with a sub presenting their dominant with toys and stuff, as long as it don't turn into a sense of intitlement thing. I bought it for you to use on me so now use it.

*chuckles* Come visit our part of NC. I'm sure we could arrange for you to meet up with them at one of the local events.
