ORIGINAL: KatyLied I think there is failure in understanding this concept. It's not about busy work or a submissive who necessarily wants to ask permission to go pee. It's about a dominant exercising his authority in the manner he wishes and submissive yielding to it. Yes, not all submissives would like it and not all dominants do it. But some do and enjoy it. And therein lies the crux of the whole thing. Each of us - D-type and s-type - is different. The trick is finding the right "lid" for your particular "pot." Good point - I do certain things that please Master, which might not please a different M-type. Finding the right lid for my pot [;)] was very important, but also, being willing to allow Master to reshape my pot to fit His lid is also important. As for the original OP, I must ask permission to spend money, other than grocery shopping. Manicures and pedicures are almost always allowed, but I still ask first. Hair style, color, etc are His to decide, as is what clothing and jewelry I wear. Then there are things like what He wishes me to pack in His lunch, what He wants for dinner (although I can offer choices based on what is available in the freezer/pantry). For U/us, bathroom use and other personal hygiene are not things to ask permission for. He really prefers that I handle such things on my own. There are many more things that I can't specifically recall. In general how money is spent, how I present myself through behavior and appearance in the world (since I am an extension of Him), and anything else that affects Him and has some impact on Him. Things I specifically do not ask permission for are things pertaining to O/our son. I certainly value input from Master, and will often try to follow His suggestions, but the bottom line is that I am respsonsible for this child in every way imaginable, and I know him better than anyone else on this planet knows him. He has been a part of me since his conception, and he and I have lived through a LOT before Master entered our lives. I did carefuly choose a Master who would be a good fit with my son, and they get along incredibly well - better than I could have ever hoped for. But at the end of the day, I'm the one that has the final say in issues pertaining to the child. Blessings and Peace
