As a submissive she has the right to change the structure of the relationship to better fit her needs.

CD I can see your point of view on being slave and entering D's into having no rights; however, there are a lot of people who state even those dynamics are different. There was also an agreement that the dom would be monogamous with the OP. Isn't a dom supposed to have the integrity of honoring that contract, too? If this dom wanted to have a poly relationship, he should have told her rather than finding out from someone else. Her sister mentioned to the OP that this dom was flirting with her online and he was on another dating site. From what it appears, he was trying change his relationship to better fit his needs without even considering her feelings. I believe that is called selfishness.

As a submissive she has the right to change the structure of the relationship to better fit her needs. But as a slave, didn't she give up those rights when she entered into a lifelong contract with her master? So... Then they were just in a D/s relationship and not a M/s one. Can you see where I would differentiate between the two styles of relationship? CD But where are you going to draw the line? Does she give up her right to physical and mental well being? Can he decide that she no longer merrits health care? Food? At what point does his breach of the agreement become an issue? There has to be a balance between upholding an agreement and leaving for self preservation. Personally, I see the agreement as a two way street, I agree to uphold my end so long as he upholds his, by either party changing the terms and conditions (which he did by not maintaining the agreement to be monogamous) then the agreement is null and void. If I breeched out agreement I would expect to be released, if he negated any part of his part of the agreement I would at least expect a renegotiation of the original agreement and if negotiations fail then I would feel that we no longer had a covenant.

CruelDesires -> RE: Release request denied (5/29/2008 1:36:13 PM)
Okay. Let me put it this way. 99 percent of the BDSM community practice D/s. A good percentage of those people cannot comprehend M/s. M/s the way I see it. Does that make the 99 percent correct? Does that make me correct? Calling one a Master.. or a Dominant.. or a Top are all just labels. The same with bottoms, submissives and slaves. Is what you feel deep inside yourself and how you show that to others... That's what makes you what you are. Laws and local ordinances aside. Those don't change us how we feel about ourselves. Again, if the OP identifies herself as a submissive and feels that her needs weren't being met, then she has the right to leave. But if she identifies herself as a slave.. then from what she is deep inside, "hences the turmoil" she gave up those rights when she entered into the M/s contract " for life" as she puts it and only has the rights her Master chooses to give her.

CruelDesires -> RE: Release request denied (5/29/2008 1:40:29 PM)
And calling someone elses point of view "shit" will win you no friends. No matter how much you cannot indentify with them. CD

corsetgirl -> RE: Release request denied (5/29/2008 1:45:25 PM)
Cruel: Whether the OP in question is a submissive or slave should point to the terms of the contract. Let's reverse the situation. You have a slave and a contract was drawn up but yet, the slave failed to live up to the terms of the contract, you would release her in a heartbeat. Perhaps you are correct on having this as an M's relationship. I don't know but what I do know is that if one party FAILS to honor that contract, they would be gone! If I cannot trust being with a dom in my relationship, then I don't want to be with him and I would not care whether I was a slave or sub. If the dom cannot trust me, then I know he would feel the same way, too.

xxblushesxx -> RE: Release request denied (5/29/2008 2:26:04 PM)
CD: will you please address the issues (contractual) that were brought up? Or answer Omega's questions? I'm also curious about what your definition of a master is, and what would keep an insecure man from calling himself master, and then telling his girl that now she has to stay with him forever? At what point is a 'slave' free to 'take care of master's property' even if it means distancing her/him self from him/her? I think you're on quite the slippery slope here. I'm interested in your ideas on this.

CruelDesires -> RE: Release request denied (5/29/2008 3:22:45 PM)
You have your mind set on the "contract' word. What I am speaking of is more then just a contractual obligation of some type. What I am speaking of is closer to what I would call the ideal "total submission". One that I see is practiced in my idea of a Master/slave relationship. I will quote something I had written in another post about someone who questioned submissives being call doormats or being extremely obedient. What is the difference..? quote: : CruelDesires My beliefs about this topic. Your mileage may vary. The way I see it. The slave has power over him/herself to choose who he/she gives over control to. Once they enter that type of hardcore relationship, the only other choice they truly have will be to ask release. In this world of laws and consequences, human beings have the right to leave an abusive relationship as they see fit. But even then, that right can be questioned if the truly feel that deep a need to submit control to someone else and really submerse themselves into that depth of submission. he/she picks their Dominant carefully after fully accessing their intelligence and the ability for understanding his/her needs BEFORE he/she gives the Master power over them. The smarter slave picks wisely and makes sure that the One that he/she chooses is worthy of that control and will have his/her best interests in mind. Problems occur when they pick the wrong Master and he uses them for his own purposes, yet doesn't keep their safety and well being in mind. A lot of newcomers don't know enough information about the lifestyle and choose someone who is not worthy of being a Master to a small dog, let alone a human being. My solution to those slaves who are looking for a Absolute Power Exchange relationship? Find a Master who values their property and makes sure their toys and personal items are well taken care of by Him. Find a Master who will listen to their slave when they have recommendations about the upkeep of His property and personal belongings. Find an Intelligent Master who is not so wrapped up in his own ego so that he does not want to learn to be a better Person as he matures and gets wiser in the lifestyle. Find an Honorable Master who truly is worthy of that title. Good luck and I see only a select few out of all the ones who claim or wear the title that we all call Master. CD There will be plenty of Men and Women who say they are allowed to wear the master title. Does that make them a master? I can call myself a duck. Does that make me a duck? As there will plenty of people who call themselves a slave. But in the way I understand M/s, once a slave decides to take a decision into their own hands like the Op has... and leaves the relationship "no matter what was written or contracted down" they are no longer slaves but are submissives. If they were slaves, they would have given up that right to make that decision when they gave over Absolute power to the master. Is that master deserving of that power? Most of them arent IMO. And some will abuse the power and use it to their own ends either foolishly or selfishly. There is no "slippery slope" as you put it. These are my beliefs and the way I view things. I believe that Tops and Dominants and Masters are all different and have differing definitions. Just lumping them all under the word "Master" does our lifestyle a disservice. I wish CM would change the room heading or add an "Ask a Dominant" section as I don't see them as the same. CD

But in the way I understand M/s, once a slave decides to take a decision into their own hands like the Op has... and leaves the relationship "no matter what was written or contracted down" they are no longer slaves but are submissives. I don't think it's as clear cut as that. If you look at the part of the Dominant in the case of the OP here; it is also his responsibility to evaluate and develop the mindset of the sub/slave as well as taking practical measures to make the situation a reality - it appears to me that he failed to do both. It is still perfectly possible that the OP could be a good slave to someone else - or, yeah, a good submissive. It's not really possible to properly evaluate someone's disposition via the internet, and much less without being able to ask a lot of direct and personal questions. - Absolute power? Well, obviously there are clear limits to that in today's society, though a lot of things are possible. Nevertheless, power is not simply something that's handed over - though that is an important part of it - it is also something that is taken. - It's still something that is agreed - and fully understood - by both parties. As they say, it takes two to tango... [sm=boohoo.gif]

If they were slaves, they would have given up that right to make that decision when they gave over Absolute power to the master. If you define a slave as being owned property (by consent), then one can reasonably argue that her choosing to leave the relationship means she's no longer a slave; agreed. So yes, she's inherently submissive but she's also a mature adult, as one would hope of anyone consenting to be another's slave. What I find disturbing in your presentation and arguments is a consistent theme that you sanction leverage over consent. And you're sanitising yourself by casting doubt on everyone else's definitions of M/s; at least, those who own through consent. Master/slave is a powerful relationship dynamic. But it wouldn't feel empowering if the girl were trapped; not to ME. But having her serve and obey me through choice - THAT'S empowering! As others have said, I also wouldn't wanna own a slave who wasn't happy and fulfilled being my property - so she always has the choice to leave.... Or, as you put it yourself, she " has the rights her Master chooses to give her". quote: Is that master deserving of that power? Most of them arent IMO. And some will abuse the power and use it to their own ends either foolishly or selfishly. And most might think exactly the same of you. Forcing a slave to stay, whether by physical barrier or coersion/leverage/manipulation/word-play/mind-games etc, might also constitute a selfish abuse of power, no? quote: There is no "slippery slope" as you put it.

Your beliefs read an awful lot like the "labels" you were bagging back up the page. While I also appreciate the differences between Master/Dom/Top (or slave/sub/bottom), one hardly needs a separate Forum for each and all. That's what you're given a brain for; to discern context and post your opinion accordingly. There are exponentially more shades than black or white.... Focus.

I wish CM would change the room heading or add an "Ask a Dominant" section as I don't see them as the same. CD I agree with you, especially the part that you quoted from another thread, it is essential for a slave to know who she is giving herself to, she should make sure that the person that she is giving that control to will match her needs for safety and happiness. It occured to me one day that I can say at this moment that I don't have to have limits or safewords in my relationship because his limits so closely align my own that I know that whatever he chooses to do will fall within my comfort zone. He also knows me well enough that safewords are superfluous. However, he would be the first to agree that if he developed a mental illness or suffered a head injury that would cause a lack of ability to think rationally that I need to evaluate my safety and if I can't be safe with him then I have an obligation to leave. I know that this is a bit more drastic then the OPs dilema. But do you really suggest that a person who gives consent when one option is presented has to continue to submit when the core basis for that concent has changed? I think that absolute power (or the ability to envoke that power) only can exsits when the Master himself remains constant to the agreement. Why should a slave be held to a higher standard then the Master?

simplyfyre -> RE: Release request denied (5/30/2008 8:07:42 AM)
greetings darkeangelique, i had a release request 'ignored' for a good while once...SOOOO, I took back my freedom and those that said i was a 'runaway' be damned.(ecspecially after a FM told me to self-release). i've also been released out of the blue-lol, i still have His apology letter he sent ---and if one wonders why he couldnt 'make me mind'[;)]...but i digress here. Nothing lasts forever except dying....and staying in a relationship that you dont want to be in will kill your soul.. say goodbye and accept the consequences of your choice cause If you do not respect a man how can you submit to him? thats another story in itself Good luck Be Well Fyre edited to fix op name

RCdc -> RE: Release request denied (5/30/2008 8:28:05 AM)
Cruel Desires If you are set in your thinking and speaking. This girls Master nullified the contract by breaking it. When the parametres alter due to no fault of the slave - when he wishes or she feels held - in her words 'as nilla'. Therefore she is not bound to him? He broke the agreement firstly, not her. the.dark.

BeingChewsie -> RE: Release request denied (5/30/2008 8:34:14 AM)
Quick reply: If you want to leave and can leave, you should. I wouldn't contemplate on it much beyond that.
