all militarys operate on doctrine but they adapt to changing conditions what a doctrine is is a set of rules regs, and tactics and toe to be used by the organization, it's not set in stone and inflexible, it's there to keep cohesion so everybody knows whats expected

BDSM is not a religion, not a military, not a cult. BDSM is simply an umbrella term, an acronym, that regroups a whole whack of hetergenous kinky people who are usually, from my experience, not all that organized as a community in an overall protocol.

Got it?

But they aren't organized like military. Military has a set of rules that everyone in the military abides by. No one, and I do mean no one, is going to set the rules by which I interact with my boy. Therefore there is no great big BDSM doctrine, only the way that individuals negotiate to interact with one another on an individual basis.

Do you see the difference now?

No, and won't. My Master makes His own rules, and doesn't feel the need to follow some obscure set of rules.

Our lives are our own, and we have our own dynamic, and as much as He might like me to be naked or kneel at will at His command, the fact that we have children running around and other things going on makes that highly improbable. He isn't going to force me to walk around chained to a shopping cart (that is one rule i've heard) because we live in this community and have to interact with the PTA and others.

IMHO, common sense in this lifestyle prempts any set of 'rules' or doctrine that you can create. Is there a set of rules on how vanilla couples conduct their relationships?

As I said here, for me, it's all about the Lady Angelika Doctrine. ;-)

it's just that the concept of a doctrine goes beyond rules

quote:



You are associating doctrine with rules, yet clearly there is a reason as to why you used the term doctrine to begin with.  What makes "doctrine" different than "rule"?

quote:

if you make the rules and rules correspond to doctrine then you make the doctrine

it's just that the concept of a doctrine goes beyond rules

And you are tripping up in your words darling. Maybe it's time to take a break from the boards and go breath some fresh air. Methinks you've hotboxed yourself one too many times.

quote:

ORIGINAL: osf

a doctrine goes beyond rules and covers the totality of the relationship what responsibilities are what expectations are it covers every aspect of the relationship

rituals, every thing you can think of

quote:

So, then, you see doctrine as something that is rigid and not bendable or breakable, while a rule may be seen as something with flexibility, something that can be broken without necessarily forfeiting the relationship?

doctrine can be as easily changed as any rule
a doctrine may cover any or all of the following

behavior
ritual
dress
conduct
diet
hours
responsibilities
expectations
anything at all regarding the relationship

Just a collection of rules osf. We are all familiar with them when in relationships. You impose a needless word upon that which is quite common and already acceptable even presumed by us. Just a game of semantics with no real difference to what we already do.

In my life, I have been fortunate to never been with anyone vanilla or D/s who lives within a doctrine. I am fortunate to have been with men who are creative and can breathe through the glass walls of any doctrine. They can step 'out -of -the-box and see 'beyond', instead of becoming a prisioner of their own doctrines. Yes, thank the Goddess and God i am truly blessed.
