I see the real you at last.......and one last question as i swear i am not taking your poisonous bait ever again: when you say WE is that a Royal Prerogative? Again........this thread is about COLLARS ok.

Those i have been in discussion with by private email (about the physical, symbolic, metaphysical and personal nature of a collar) have answered with a clarity of expression, unlimited compassion and strength of character. There are those who have laid for foundations within the Community regarding protocol and collaring who are notable absent from this thread but they have sent profound and clear responses to me by mail.They know who they are and i am very proud to call them my friends. It still does not mean that i felt there was little value in opening up the topic for public debate.

quote: ORIGINAL: masterforRT The whole BDSM concept has been stood on it's side. We have 'masters' pming Dommes begging to be dominated, heterosexual BDSMers are becoming the minority, collars are thrown about like candy, 'under consideration' has become an overused phrase, subs make so many demands and have so many requirements that you begin to wonder is they're subs at all, 'topping from the bottom' has become more the rule then the exception, subs (and Dom(mes)) complain that they can't find 'the one' then admit in the next sentence that they routinely delete most messages without reading them, and people are just too cliquish, catty and judgmental! OK it is one long sentence so I let it all there. I deleted the part where you see it as a."community" in need of a rudder. I have Friends of all sorts, in all kinds of places. Are they ALL part of different cliques? If a submissive, slave. bottom states what she. or he wants that does not appeal to you? OK thats you, not EVERYONE. The fact that we do what we do, does not make us special. As a loose group we are no different form any other loose group. Because something does not appeal to you, does not make it wrong

Thank you .."little one"...:) My point is , we don't need saving, the "LifeStyle" doesn't need saving. People just need to live and be who they are Jeff Note to ModXI, this was an honest tangent. I now return the thread to it's previously scheduled topic

quote: ORIGINAL: masterforRT quote: ORIGINAL: KatyLied quote: subs make so many demands and have so many requirements that you begin to wonder is they're subs at all Yes, I agree that it's awful and a bane on the lifestyle when subs have expectations and requirements. I long for the days of the doormat subs. Your post is not only condesending, but it does nothing to change the problem I write about! I don 't WANT a doormat for a sub! That said, I was talking about subs that write novels (in capitals) that are so specific on what THEY want that you have to wonder if they believe that finding a master is like buying accessories for their new car. Ok so it’s come down to a debate. On one side of the house we have: masterforRT ~Look in the mirror and ask yourself: "Do I do any of these?" BE HONEST! If you do, then you're part of the PROBLEM-and changing your behavior is a big part of the solution. Otherwise, BDSM will continue to drift....like a ship off course with no one manning the rudder...~ And on the other side of the house we have Jeffff: ~There is no course, there is no ship, there is no rudder. there are just people~ I think it is a debate and not an irreconcilable issue. Again I can only speak from experience….(but don’t let Michael know ok)……but within the dynamics of a personal relationship which includes an element of bdsm….then it really does help me, as an s-type….who willingly transfers authority….to be able to trust that the s-type I am transferring it to is trustworthy and has integrity and yes has a certain code of behaviours, or protocols which I can lay my faith in. If it were not so I may as well stand outside of marks and spebcer and ask any passing stranger if they would like to collar me, but they might you know, just take me a walk around the block to the nearest hospital and put the leash on a bottled down chair in A & E (the ER (room?) It is my experience that anyone and everyone wants ‘in’…….bdsm is the latest theme for party goers around here and has transplanted sixties nights, or Abba themes. Now I understand that is one thing I shouldn’t do: ie I shouldn’t be asking to be collared. If I look to what my actions were they were within what I understood to be protocol. That there is a certain free-range within a protocol well I thank gosd because it means I can still live my life with excitement and experience each moment as a wonderful phenomena. Thus far it hasn’t killed my courage although what happened a while back certainly dented my trust. But there is this debate inherent between those who adhere to strict codes of conduct and those who just wing it.

No. There is nothing wrong with asking to be collared. I think it's better to allow a relationship to develop and see where it goes without rushing into a collar. It takes years to know and understand a person and to witness his (or her) consistent behavior over time. These are things that are important to me. Much more important than a collar. I focus on the other person, and building the relationship, not on the symbol of the relationship.

Then i suppose if i look back on my opening set of questions and jump straight to this, your answer, then they would have done well to sit as question and answer right next to each other. But then something marks the beginning (and the end) of a dynamic does it not? And it helps to have something symbolise the beginning and the end of a dynamic? Not only for the two participants but also for others?

I don't need a symbol of a relationship. I don't work a relationship in order to gain a symbol.

This whole thread is weird. Telling the entire world about a relationship problem demonstrates zero respect for the OTHER person in the relationship. Why get intimate with someone you don't respect? I had a Bad Thing(tm) happen between me and a woman recently, and I've told a couple friends about it, but I'll never post about what happened. If I let someone into my life, she can take to the bank that her dirty laundry won't get plastered all over the internet. I really think people are arguing about the wrong things here. How about demonstrating commitment to others and to yourself even if someone fucks you over? I promise it pays off. I've got more offers to meet than I can schedule, because women know I'm SAFE. If everyone knows person X is a loose cannon, person X will tend to attract people who can't do any better than that. Reputation matters a lot, and it's never to late to cultivate a better one.

The "Old Guard," such as it was, was mostly comprised of ex-military gay men who served in WWII. Yeah. And the thing is, they didn't call themselves "Old Guard." Ya might wanna check out Vi Johnson's autobiography, even tho' she's a bit young to have been involved in anything but the last days of what is now called "Old Guard". Unless, of course, what you posted was in jest and I misinterpreted it. D., old enough to have named "dirt" " Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew that the earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow." - Lowell Cunningham and Ed Solomon, "Men in Black"

I think RedMagic was being ironic. At least I hope he was. lol
