...a line from a song in Bring it on...I will probably get gutted and served on a platter for this question, but it is one that has been top of mind for several weeks now and I'd like to open it up--some things may be obvious to some and yet blatantly missing to others, so its worth chatting about, IMHO--( I have also attached at the bottom of this, links to other threads we have had over the years). And I think this may apply more to the male submissives, but I am open to all--as My thinking could be flawed--so here goes, My issue is with these two statements: I want to give over total control I want total domination "... ok what do you mean by that? i want my D to control me completely. ok, can you elaborate on that? i want her to own everything, even my manhood. ok what does that mean to you? i want to be completely subservient to her, for her to control all my actions." OY So I'd like to open these up and get some reality on the table-- Total control/Total Domination: Are you willing to be micromanaged? Are you willing to ask when to poop and be refused? (this came from an LA reposnse I think and I spit coffee on that one) Are you willing to turn over all your assets? Are you willing to be told when and how much time you can spend with family? Are you willing to forego any of your happiness for a D? Are you willing to be told when to speak and when not, what to say and what not to say? Are you willing to give over your right to independent thinking? Are you willing to be told who to vote for, what to wear, what to eat and when, have your food ordered for you? Are you willing to be used by whom ever She chooses, when and how? You may think these are extreme examples, they are not, they are all things under your terms "total control". The first time you say, " She can have total control, but..." that isn't total control, it is conditional and restricted--but probably a heck of a lot closer to real life. The point I am making, is when you come to the table define yourself to some degree, to say you want to give up total control is so trite and canned and isn't reality IMHO or at least the majority of reality. If you aren't willing to have your winkie tied to a hummer, then maybe total control is a tad extreme. < enter sarcasm here> and in this venue you cannot assume that the person you are talking with is on the same platform you are. Its like saying the sky is blue--pale, grayblue, royal blue, midnight blue? Its the same principle. I want to be in chastity, but before and after, I have a normal life that consists of xxx I want to be naked and chained--well after work, on the weekend and never ever in front of my friends I want to give up decison making over xxx but I decide when to poop I want to be able to have xxx in my life, do xxx, see xxx I only want the play part cuz its a sex turn-on Some may define these as limits or qualifiers--this- no limits, total control to Me is crap and its old. This is not a rant, it is meant to get some subs thinking, we don't want canned responses, we don't want the standard stuff regurgitated back--we want to know where your head is and hopefully its not up your ass, or if it is, at least say so, I am sure there are some D's that seek that. I mean if you can't be honest and open here, where the heck can you be? At least define yourself, or try and its not a laundry list of stuff, put some definition, some framework, some depth to what you are saying.
