Three points: First: Shouldn't the sub inform the third party that they are required to share all conversations with their Master? (in the best of all possible worlds). and secondly: Shouldn't the sub/slave tell the thris party they are owned? and third: Thus happens in the world outside of bdsm. Quite a few political scandals have occurred because of 'sharing' in bedroom talk (Mandy Rice-Davies being notorious n British political history. Gay was considered, (quite erroneously of course) until relatively recently, to be a political risk for this very reason. Ok, here's the scoop. I'm not 'owned' by any stretch of the imagination, but I share just about -everything- with my companions. It isn't like they -demand- it, but they're an integral part of my life, and what affects me, affects them... in the same way, what impacts my moods is going to have an impact on them, as well, and, on top of that, these are the people that I turn to to bounce things off of, to talk through how I'm either handling or thinking of handling sticky situations, and to rant and rave at when things aren't working. They're also the people that I share things with that make me laugh, smile, hope, and dream. It always surprises me when people think that we don't talk to one another... about EVERYTHING... It has nothing to do with -ownership-, because right now, there isn't anyone in my life that I am keeping that way... but it has EVERYTHING to do with the intimacy and transparency of a long-term, healthy relationship. For us, it is a choice to share. In an authority-transfer relationship, it may be compelled (especially in the beginning, when it isn't so automatic to share everything)... and it doesn't automatically mean that everything discussed -will- be shared... but I would think that, in any intimate relationship, the individuals involved would share with one another at this level. I expect it, and it seems strange to me when this level of intimacy -isn't- part of the dynamic. Dame Calla
