ShiftedJewel, it seems you completely misunderstood LA's post. She said it would be unethical to suggest the slave is forcing an "inappropriate obligation" on the master when she wants more play time.

And Amayos, if you really do not understand that your slave obeys you because it suits her to do so, then personally I want a little of whatever it is you are smoking. Unless you have total control of her mind, then every time you give a command, she consciously decides to obey it...that is just the way things are.

It suited me to beg my Master's ownership. After that, i obey no matter. Whether i like it, dislike it, think it is good for me, do not think it is good for me. HE sees the big picture. If he chooses to change courses tomorrow, in a completely different direction that i do not understand at all, then that is my new direction. Yes i can ask him about it, and he may or may not explain it, based on what he feels is best. He knows what suits me better than i do. That is my slavery.

~ Hands Amayos a feather ~

I think shifted is driving sarcastically at something deeper and more subtle. That often BDSM enthusiasts make a fetish of "playing", and not taking their relationships or roles too seriously outside of this, that an unhealthy focus on self-serving kink pervades many so-called M/s relationships. I could be totally off base, but that's how I read it, at least.

It is not up to me to decide what suits me.

And we all know that no one ever goes through a lull, a low point in their sex drive or interest in "playing", right? No one goes into a relationship expecting that to happen, but the truth is, it does... all the time. What "inappropriate obligation" are we talking about here LA?? It's a relationship!! If it feels more like an obligation then by all means get out now... God forbid you let emotional ties keep you from getting what you want.

Indeed, from a technical diddle point of view, she can choose to disobey—and then suffer the consequences for that disobedience. The very consequences she agreed upon and surrendered to when becoming my slave.

She can also choose to get up and walk away. If mind control/Stockholm Syndrome is indeed what you are into, then don't call her a slave, call her a captive, or robot....or to be more accurate, victim.

quote:

Yes it is.

Like I aid in my other post- it doesn't mean you're blissfully happy to do everything every moment. But you have decided that it suits you to be owned and obey in this relationship. You've agreed that OVERALL LONG TERM, it suits you, no matter what short term or immediate circumstances there may be.

"Yes it is?" Um, if that is your belief, go for it. A bit presumptuous for someone on a message board to determine what does or does not suit another, no?

How about this way of putting it:

It suits you in your relationship that you do not decide what specifically suits you.

Why is it everyone is now saying, "omg if things change, leave! leave!" (yes that is exaggerative)

i prefer to opt for communication toward resolutoin than keeping my eye on the exit sign.

ORIGINAL: ownedgirlie

i was being exaggerative. It just appeared to me that the most popular option being discussed was the right to leave (or evaluate leaving), rather than how to work out a slave's concerns. Maybe it's me but it seems to be a running trend on this board - slave unhappy, slave has right to leave. While i know there are far too many unhealthy or even abusive situations going on out there. i prefer to opt for communication toward resolutoin than keeping my eye on the exit sign.

Hypothetically, it can happen that a sub's mistress over time loses some of Her interest in bdsm and wants a higher and higher proportion of the slave's time spent on service and companionship, which both acknowledge as important. Should the slave be patiently obedient? Express needs for bdsm submission even though this may seem topping from the bottom? Try to redefine his needs to be less erotic and more taking joy in service submission? Move on? Other advice?

i look at a relationship this way - Him and me - period. The dynamics between the 2 of U/us are what concern me. Fortunately and gratefully, i have a Master Who finds tremendous pleasure in my pleasure. i have no desire to be "whatever He wants" with no consideration to me, my needs and wants as well. Does that mean i am not a slave - His property? i don't think so. i own my car - am i oblivious to it's needs? No. If i was it would not be able to serve me for very long - it would become difficult and eventually stop running all together.

i believe a slave is similar in that if my needs and, as a human being and not an object, desires, are not considered and taken care of, i will become difficult and eventually stop being able to serve. It's not because i would choose to become difficult, but because i am who i am - human. Master loves my individuality and intelligence as well as my submission. The very fact that i have desires that are not always in alignment with His, is one of the things that makes my submission so beautiful to Him.

However, i knew this was something i wanted and needed before accepting His collar. i am not a robot with no thoughts, feelings, desires of my own. And, for me, to be in a relationship with Someone who does not care about these things, would be hell. And so, i must return to my first statement of a relationship is Him and me period.

i am thankful that there is room for both of U/us to breath and change and grow and communicate. i, for one, am not of the belief that patient obedience - no matter what - is the solution to everything. Do i enjoy serving and pleasing Him? Absolutely. But my enjoyment comes from my love for Him, not from some sense of obligation because i'm a slave, required to serve no matter what.

my recommendation is to review your relationship. What kind of Mistress are you involved with and has open communication been part of Y/your relationship? Are your needs and cravings important to your Mistress, or is it only about what She wants? There is a lot here to consider. i wish you the best in your endeavor.
