ORIGINAL: IronBear I see begging as nothing more than a sub/slave respectfully asking for something where as were we together as equalls the asking would be a request.. For me it is just how someone identifies as. Master and Mistress expect it in that same kind of way Iron Bear, Sir, For me, though begging is an incredibly difficult thing to do. When I was younger there was some serious abuse coupled with asking for anything. So just asking is a hard thing for me to do. Master and Mistress require me to ask for what I want. *sigh* Well, at my request, I now ask for everything. May I get online for a few minutes? May I make a phone call? May I go to the bathroom/get a glass of water/sit down? It makes asking for little things that I don't really care about easy. But asking for something I want - like a hug or time alone or to be used... I end up sobbing. Imagine sobbing just to get a hug. It is a place of great vulnerability which has been betrayed many times in the past. The mere act pulls the deepest fears out of me. She will say to me "You might want to ask for permission to go to a coffee shop and read for awhile" or someething like that. And when I start thinking about asking, she says, "no no, that wasn't a suggestion." *sigh* One day I explained it all to them and the vulnerability that I went to - which is very close to the "scary place" for me - was exactly what they wanted. They want me in that state of vulnerability and openness. *big fat hairy sigh* I can't cope when I'm that vulnerable, so I resist it quite a lot. But we are making progress. As folks from here know, I can call my friends, I can visit my family, I can get the things I need. They rarely say no to those things, and when they do, there is a reason. But it is in the asking that my heart just splits wide open because any step above a simple question is a fearful and innocent place for me. And they take care to tread gently there. It is healing. It is horrible. Well wishes, *tgfka sunshine
