ORIGINAL: Leatherist Usually the sub ends up whining and begging for the "collar" thinking it means a commitment-and she won't get tossed out if she has one. Then thinks she has the Dom all sewn up-like a spider that has the bug wrapped for dinner. Imagine her surpise when it doesnt mean the same thing to him that it did to her-and he was just using her own manipulation against her. If he does than he proves himself no better than her. Wouldn't it make more sense to walk away? Why would a dominant of any integrity take the lead from a submissive like that. Because neither has any. They simply expect the other to. But it's like who has the integrity anyway? Who is the keyholder? What is integrity if it isn't learned within the dynamic? Again: show me the person that has a default to integrity? In some people's eyes i have integrity. In some people's eyes i am a needy whiny needy drama queen. So whose right? i didn't come with an in-built sense of integrity and i admit to sensing the lack of it it more readily in others than myself. But with regard to most things i self-analyse and retrospect and fragment even the flashbacks to re-capture what, when and where the communication process went wrong. But a sudden and unprecedented drop of any kind, a broken promise, a change of heart, call it what you will.....if it means the physical bonds, or the metaphysical bonds just suddenly snap.....well wherein lays the integrity? It's learned long and hard.....? I might be missing your point but Whether or not I have integrity is not because you or anyone else (including myself) says I do or do not. I possess it because of my actions and reactions. Other peoples experience of ME might disagree but that is their perspective not mine. I am a person of integrity because I know I am, feel I am and my actions that have supported that is time tested and shown to be true.....according to my perception of me and what makes me proud of myself . And at the end of the day that is what matters to me and in my life. I cannot account, nor am responsible, for other peoples tastes or requirements/definition of "integrity" . If I am allowing someone elses "lack of" to alter the way I uphold mine ...than it is ME I need to focus the responsiblity on and not the other person. I cannot make them something they are not....or given them title/definition/ or a sense of responsiblity/loyalty/integrity/honesty/character that they do not already possess within themselves.. BUT I can do something about whether or not I allow them to effect MINE.
