ORIGINAL: KittenWithaTwist Hm, I don't know how well this post will go over, but here goes. Many slave-types that I see on the boards do the ultimatim thing. When there is a problem within the household, they tote the old "Obey or ask for release" banner that, honestly, makes me cringe a little. What I wonder is...are they really in relationships where this is the case? Does it make a difference to them if it is a romantically inclined D/s or M/s relationship? The reason I ask is because: I have certainly, in the past two years, disobeyed my dominant. I'm not perfect, and I have trouble, sometimes, letting go of my own control. I have explained in other threads that I'm not at the "complete and total trust" stage, and sometimes I'm just plain...dumb. Neither my dom nor I would consider these behaviors to be purposeful (as I loathe myself after I have done them), but just something we're trying to work through. But the point is, I've never been asked to leave. Not ever. Not once. It was never implied or suggested or ordered. I've never wanted to be released or asked for it myself. It has NEVER entered my mind. So, why do people tote this banner around? Obey or leave? Does it really work that way? Does that sort of thing really happen...?? Is it meant to strike fear in the heart of a slave? Obedience is a tricky thing..... disobedience and the motivation for it is what counts, well in O/our opinion. If disobedience is outwardly defiant...the question is why? I am not a brat and brat to me says defiant disboedience. If one chooses repeatedly to defiantly be a brat, and the Dom/Domme wishes NOT to deal with it, I can totally understand why they might say obey or leave. Do you realize how much energy and frustration is involved by the dominant to break the will of a willfully defiant "child?" Some Doms/Dommes simply love the challenge, others, like mine do NOT tolerate it. I dont tolerate it within myself. But then again I don't like to displease or disobey anyone, let alone Master. Those I do displease, piss off, diss...there is a reason....the selfishly motivated ones I must cone to terms with and usually end up aplogizing but other times, it is a healthy move for me. On the other hand... some people are emotional masochists and love the ultimatum stuff. It serves a purpose. It doesnt work for me though.
