ORIGINAL: Sunshine119 Well said, realistic and written by someone who lives and helps guide others in this lifestyle. No matter who in life we are, we are ultimately selfish. The master is just as selfish as the slave and vice versa. There is no one who exists who is altruistic alone. As human beings, we ALL need to have our needs met. It is nice when the needs of one who wants to serve is matched with one who wants to be served. However, only in fiction does a slave find total fulfillment in fulfilling his/her master's every request and has none of his/her own. Ask yourself this next time you are considering the OP's question: How many of us would stop talking to our siblings, our parents, our friends, abstain from the internet, read nothing not given to us, have none of our own beliefs or hold no political opinion except our master's, IF we were told to? Might work for a short amount of time. Then the master would have a very weary, bored, restless, troublesome slave on his/her hands. Fiction and reality constantly clash. LOL I understand the point behind this but what fustrates me is that arguements on M/S are always predicated on the owner being a complete asshole that has the time to exercise all of this control in random ways for no clear reason. I think you've made quite a jump there. It is a question predicated on NO assumptions, but rather, poses a question based upon the comments made in the preceding messages and adds some to push this hyposition into the absurd. There are no assumptions about owners being complete assholes. If you are so well acquainted with my posts, you will realize that I AM owned! I just believe that we all get what we need or we wouldn't stay within the relationship we are in....unless we are too traumatized to leave. quote:
I've known owners that wouldn't let their slaves talk with certain people that were friends in the past, but I've never known one that did everything you listed (and also this leap of faith in your hypothetical also requires that both people have contrary beliefs and political opinions and don't value reading). I'm glad YOU have never met anyone who fit this profile but, trust me, they do exist. 20 years in social services has taught me that. Often they are nothing but abusive people who hide as Dom(me)s, but some people, newly in this lifestyle don't understand this difference. The typical profile of an ABUSER is one who isolates their partner from friends/family, who tells them what to think, and what they can and can not do, WITHOUT it fulfilling their needs as well. (Please again note: In a D/s relaltionship, the submissive does get his/her needs fulfilled by fulfilling the needs of their dominant and feels satisfaction and pride in it) quote:
Its the same when you talk about anything... for instance you talk about the concept of no limits or boundaries the FIRST thing the owner in the hypotheticals wants to do is cut off your arm. And somehow setting up all of these boundaries, hoops, and must haves will protect you from an owner like you are describing up there. Now, You've totally lost me. What is this about talking about limits or boundaries??? Cutting off one's arm? I searched my name with the words "boundary", "boundaries", "limit", "limits", "arm". You obviously have misquoted me. I did find the post you were referring to, but you are quoting someone else, and have mistakenly jumped to the conclusion it was me. Good move! However, I'm glad you have decided that I talk the same way about "anything". To me, that is a great thing. It means my ethics are consistent and large enough to fit most situations. LOL. Please make sure you are referring to the appropriate person before name calling.
