quote: ORIGINAL: Odinandtawney Prior to reading this thread if asked I would have defined 24/7 as living together full time in a D/s relationship that extends beyond the bedroom, (sex). There have been several good points made that just because a couple isn't living together they can still have an active D/s relationship that is full time. I thank the original poster for posing this question. I have learned something today. tawney property of Odin Im so chuffed to read this, i wouldnt be arrogant enough to believe it was to do with my points but i find it so wonderful when people learn to see things in a new way, i know that I have learned so much from this site and the people on it and to be honest I have not thanked as many of them as I wished i had so its really great to read people who say it.

Why because it validates what you want to believe?

erm nope for the reasons that I have just stated I find it admirable when people say it because i rarely do. Also it doesnt validate anything, she has said more that she is open to other definitions rather than as you have done advocated one true way and bellittled everyone else in the process, an open mind is a rare and special thing. Still looking at your sig and laughing btw.

I'm certain this will be redundant with other posts, but it's easier to type than to cite the "me too"s to. Beides: repetition isn't always bad (especially in D/s). "24/7" is... well... 24/7. It's when whatever is being discussed (in this case power exchange?) is ongoing all the time rather than at certain points. If you put on diapers for sex play (not my thing, but more power to you), then you like diaper play. If you spend your life in diapers then it's 24/7 for you. My relationships have always been power-exchange. Sometimes (the best of times I must admit) the power exhange was full-on all the time in every aspect of the relationship. In other relationships, while I was the more dominant personality, it would be false to say that the power exchange existed at the same level when we were having dinner as it did when we were in the dungeon.

So if you have a cleaner come in, rather than have the "slave" do the housework... its not 24/7? So if you go away on a business trip ... its not 24/7 until you get back? So if you feel under the weather for a few days .. and dont have sex .. its not 24/7? So relationships where there is no sex ... are not 24/7? So relationships where one partner works away during the week ... are not 24/7? So relationships where there is not S&M play ... are not 24/7? these are completely irrelevant points. Simply put..if you are not with them and accessible you are not 24/7..This is to the fella KOM as well..you don't like my view..tough shit..If you were here it would be no different, i'd tell you to your face. I don't "understand" it as you do that's for sure but luckily you didn't write the book on it all. You can say all the cute things you like but that's not going to change the fact that what you see as 24/7 is really part time no matter how much of everything else you pretend to put into it. It just isn't going to change the definition of it. Of which i think the rational people have stated already..

Still looking at your sig and laughing btw. and a comment like that is showing enlightenment?[:D]

The definiton of it? its clearly been expressed that it varies from person to person yours is no more rational or right than anyone elses

quote: If he wanted something from me that I could provide and I was asleep, working, with friends, etc., he weighs the pros and cons of having me do it and then he decides if I will do it or not. He will deal the consequences of his decisions. It worked that way even when we lived more than 3,000 miles apart. It works that way now even when we are in the same bed. My proximity to him has not changed the fact that there are no aspects of my life that he does not have authority over. I appreciate that for some people, living together makes it possible for them to have a 24/7 m/s relationship and living apart does not. However, that does not mean that everyone’s relationships are limited by where they live and that doesn’t make me deluded because his authority in my life existed 24/7 even when we were not living together. For me, living together is the point of 24/7 - but, thinking about it, i think the main reason for that was/is because I knew we would be moving together eventually - as soon as we could - (and, before I found Him, while I was searching, I knew that a living together relationship was what I wanted to work towards with someone) - so, for me, it was a marker. I happen to agree very much with what you said here. I get annoyed when I percieve someone as saying that the limitations that a certain couple choose to work with or accept in their lives limit how they can speak of, represent or percieve themselves. (no, of course it doesn't, but people often feel strongly that it SHOULD). If Master does not want a certain service - if he evaluates the pros and cons and decides against it - ect, - that does not in anyway minimize the 'available service'. HE made that decision. If, otoh, slave said to him - don't do this, don't do that, ect, ect - well, those are limits. They still get to define if they are 24/7, they still get to decide their labels, ect. I am just saying, i deeply feel your distinction. It's an important one, to me. The difference in what HE decides to not do, and what I TELL him not to do.

~FR~ Oh for God's sake, who gives a flying fuck? 10 people think it means only living together ALL THE TIME the other 10 think it's more of a mindset Who the fuck cares what someone else thinks 24/7 is. All that matters is what YOU think it is. Everyone else can go scratch themselves because, let's face it....THEY DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE, therefore, it matters little whether they agree with you or not. This flippin thread has gone on 8 pages because of grandstanding.... I am right No, I am right No I am right Ok, you might be right but I refuse to admit that Ok, I acknowledge that you have the right to your ideas but...I can not admit publicly to such a thing, therefore, I am right No, I am right Who the fuck cares

Here comes mainstream America..aint it grand. an open mind is a rare and special thing. doesnt bother me i live in England anyways shrug Differant definitions doesnt devalue anything its simply more inclusive, maybe you have a problem with that I personally dont I think that all and any who get enjoyment from the lifestyle or whatever you want to call it in whatever form should be welcomed, i dont think that there is a set of rules everyone is differant and they apply the labels to them in differant ways, ask someone what the differance between sub and slave is and se ehow none of the definitions match up, thats because we are all differant we all take differant things away from this and who really gives a shit, whats wrong with being inclusive? Why are we striving to achieve unattainable goals and fantasy when really the reality is far more interesting and intense?

What is 24/7? Another pointless classification for relationships that we can argue about on the Internet with no real bearing or importance outside of that.

I think the most i've said to offend is what i think in no uncertain terms..it's you who can't deal with it. I believe i said those that thought that way were deluding themselves..if you were offended then it's on you. maybe i should've sugar coated it?[:D]

colouredin -> RE: What does 24/7 mean to you? (and a mini rant i suppose) (9/1/2008 3:18:04 PM)
no you have called the way that people live their lives bullshit that to me is fairly offensive but i dunno i dont have a clue about this stuff.
