While I for one (respectfully) think your definition is total bullc**p I don't see why you had to near bark at the woman in your post how much of a "bad slave" according to your own definitions, without even taking into consideration that the "master" involved might be douchebaggus maximus. The woman came to the boards with some valid concerns, degrading first her "slavishness" Actually my comments were quite the contrary. Whether she is or isn't a slave under my definition or anyone else's isn't important to the reply either. What is important is that she posted it publicly and wants to keep it a secret. What do you think a 'reasonable' response would be from any partner under any label, master, dominant, spouse; who was told; "based upon on-line expertise your desire isn't 'normal'."? Remember, that is the OP question, is it 'normal'. I also don't understand how anyone can you judge the person she labels as her master. According to her, he not only doesn't know she posted but she plans on keeping it a secret. I can't reason that that represents submissive behavior to anyone other than her own insecurity and personal comfort. quote:
and then basically all masters and slaves which don't fulfill your own personal standard Really? That is an interesting interpretation of my post. How do you reconcile that opinion with the me saying "As long as the parties involved know themselves well enough, have confidence, and live up to their responsibilities; it's all good." ? But I see you get to that, selectively, at the end. Meanwhile, how do you put the label 'Master' into the equation if, as the source of an order, its discussed and advertised publicly versus listened to or discussed directly? Forget respect as a master, I'm directly questioning her respect for a partner within a relationship. Or do you think it appropriate to go behind a partner's back in a relationship; vanilla or flavored? quote:
Absolute service isn't always the goal for people and making statements as you did (see above) are questionably little or no help to either the discussion nor her concerns Exactly! What difference is it then what they call themselves or how that relates to your, or my, labeling definitions? However, the best possible think to do is hold up a mirror and let her see how it fits into her sense of self. She can call herself a pink goat and her partner a purple dinosaur for that matter. Maybe it would help to know when you think it is best to discuss a relationship, even an on-line, 5 month variety with strangers versus the person you claim to be involved with enough to call 'master' and consider yourself his 'slave'? I don't care what the dynamic, terms, or moving target definition; she's rationalizing her sense of failure or his. What input, other than generalizations, would help? quote:
However keep in mind, that as much as you think other peoples "slavery" is fantasy, there are groups of people who think yours is too, borderline pathological even. Only "borderline"; that only means you don't know me. Were I concerned, or asked the general public to comment, or cared; I'd have reason to change. quote:
Dude! you basically devalued everybody who didn't follow your own definition of slavery! You basically took the identities of the people who have other dynamic as yours (and yet are still as proud of their master or slave status and identity as you and your partner) and put it in the mud. Really, you read that mine is the only relationship where I believe the title Master isn't a honorarium? You read my "other cases" to represent ALL other cases? And "can mean" to you represents 'always means'? Sorry - can't help with that interpretation. However, what would you call a dynamic where you only listened and obeyed when it suited you? That is the distinction. It is not a distinction limited to my personal relationship. Nowhere do I make reference to any such claim. It really is very basic and very obvious; at least to me. Whoever sets the rules, whether you call them 'limits' (hard or soft), or the parameters of the relationship; is the 'Master'. It is obvious that many claiming to be submissive and slave have that power. In ancient times they used to be called 'do-me' subs. Now there are all kinds of references and labels for the same result. The label doesn't matter - realty is what it is.
