NihilusZero -> RE: DOMs Asking For Gifts (12/24/2009 2:08:47 PM)

Approaching this from a pre-existing relationship angle: quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 1. At what point do you feel it's okay to ask, expect or demand a submissive buys you expensive gifts? Say $500.00 and up. At the point the relationship is set to where the D-type can expect to receive what Xhe demands. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 2. As a sub at what point should I give a gift of that kind? I don't mind giving gifts and I like to spoil by Masters but only after I feel it's a established relationship. Not someone just using me. People are getting pedantic about whether the word "gift" applies if it's not freely given, but I think that's missing the point. You give a gift of that kind either when it feels right or when it is demanded of you. If those two are conflicting, then you determine your status in the relationship. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 3. If a DOM asks for gifts is he then the kept man? I don't see why that would be the case. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 4. Would a DOM expect you to buy his gift over say his sub paying for repairs on her car? Shouldn't her well being and safety while out driving in the night or snow be before his pleasure? You're treating this question as if there is a universal answer. And some people are conveniently jumping on these lopsided ethical questions with the commonplace answers, but those aren't in any way genuinely applicable. The only pertinent issue is if it is being expected of you at the moment and if that expectation is in line with what you signed up for when entering into the relationship. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 5. What if a DOM tells you your not obeying him or trusting him by not buying him said gift? Then you certainly would not be obeying him if you aren't buying it. And, as far as "trust" is concerned, his point would still be valid...but only because "trust", in this scenario, is a subjective thing. If his brand of "trust" is not appealing to you, then you should be considering something more serious than whether to just yield to his demand. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 6. What if your told "it's not about possesions its about possessing you" and by you not doing so your proving you don't trust the DOM or follow his lead? He's right. Your question, however, should be whether he is the sort of person you want to be possessed by. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 7. What if you've never met this person face to face but only served them 3 months via online? Then you run a greater risk of having the entire thing be a monetary scam. It still comes down to a quid pro quo situation, though. Are you getting enough from him (online, for 3 months) to warrant what he's asking for? quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 8. Would a DOM leave you over this? That's entirely Hir prerogative. quote:
ORIGINAL: supportourtroops 9. Have any of you ever tested your sub this way? I personally have not, no. But, again, trying to measure your situation against what "everyone else" is doing is the absolute backwards way of getting anything done in this sub-community or otherwise.
