ORIGINAL: KittenWithaTwist 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? Ultimately yes it does come down to obey or leave, and it does happen. But that doesn't mean every situation must immediately resort to that ultimatum. Its not so much meant to strike fear as it is to define that last and final boundary... not to mention an important part of the Master/slave relationship. You said in your original post that you don't purposefully disobey. I take that to mean that you try to obey, you make the effort, but because you are human sometimes you just screw up. Welcome to the human race, we all screw up sometimes, even us masterly types. Its not that we screw up sometimes that matters, its what we do about it. When you realize you've been disobedient do you try to correct that, make it right however you can? If so, then you're trying to obey, you're keeping in the spirit of the relationship. Have I ever used that ultimatum, yes I have. But not as a first choice. I've used it in situations where it just seemed the lass in question didn't seem to really want to obey. Things had reached a point I wondered why she was there, did she really desire to be a slave or was it just an exciting game to her that was wearing off? So you give them a choice... obey or leave... make the commitment to the relationship, or get out of it. Its not done out of anger or as punishment... though certainly its natural to feel some anger at having things come to that point... its done because things have reach a point where a choice needs to be made. Either fully commit to being in the relationship, or get out so you can both move on. In my opinion, that's what its really about... choice and commitment.
