But eventually, if a person is not fed, the person ceases to thrive. Well thank you and I am sorry you had to go through this. This is exactly the thing I wanted to get to. Recently I have known several Master's who have tried, to utilize this tactic as a form of control or punishment and I believe it has the adverse effect. Thanks for sharing this. Aramis You're welcome. My situation was not born of punishment, but due to some life circumstances that were not handled optimally. I do have a thought, though, regarding acceptance and surrender. I've never liked the word surrender, because I've always thought of it as giving up something you didn't want to, such as surrendering in a war. Yes, one can accept his/her slavery, and when one is willing, can grow and evolve over time into greater depths - of self, of commitment, of love, of submission, etc. That's what KoM was trying to get at, I believe. There is no one or the other. There is one, another, another after that, and it goes on, and everything in between. My "surrendered" level of slavery four years ago was nothing compared to what it became by the time it ended. And should I enter into slavery again, I imagine it will be a much different slavery than the last time. Whether it is your intention or not, it appears you are kind of pidgeon-holing a process into one type or another. Or am I misunderstanding you?
