ok the word kittininsol would have given you might be: je nais se quoi. (perhaps that is what you exchange.) she must go down and get up with the chickens, I guess. Ron

quote: ORIGINAL: wisdomtogive I am going to make a suggestion to you osf. Yes, i know you didn't ask me too, but that never stops me, when i feel it is needed. What you do with it is not a concern to me either, since i am not doing this to benefit me. Take 2 days away from the boards, and put your focus on anything but BDSM for those 2 days. Take a vacation, even if it is blogging or what have you. You need to refocus yourself on any thing but BDSM. This has become an obsession, with the many new posts started each day. All this energy can be put somewhere else for a bit. I clean when i become obsessed, or paint, or play with clay, or write a short story..anything to divert my attention from the obsession. Obsession for me is so unhealthy. Anyways...best to you.... wisdomtogive quote: I am going to make a suggestion to you osf.

quote: ORIGINAL: alittlegirllost steps into the discussion to really talk about the initial topic....unique, huh?? lol...i would imagine that anyone can answer but perhaps LadyPact would not mind answering because i always find Her words very easy to understand....i understand TPE means Total Power Exchange....i understand that, in essence, when submitting i am giving up my power to the Dominant....but exactly what are we exchanging....the Dominant is not giving me their power....at least i hope not, that would be no fun..lol....but seriously, exchange makes me think it is a back and forth, give and take..but the Dominant always retains the power, so what is the Dominant exchanging? You join this discussion any time you want to. I would tend to agree with you that you have the concept correct. As the submissive, you are giving the power over to the Dominant. The Dominant then takes that power and then uses it in their authority. What the Dominant gives in return could be explained as structure, responsibility, enforcement, and a lot of other terms that some folks include in there. How the individual Dominant sees that, and what type of dynamic is created from those principles is going to vary. This is one of those areas that I lump into that big pile that falls under the umbrella of compatibility. Like Ron said, it really is something of a form of currency, so you have to ask yourself as a submissive, if you're going to give your power to your Dominant, what do you want in return? There are lots of possible things you might want in your 'exchange' that will lead to being most fulfilled for you. You feel free to come ask Me anything you'd like at any time. If I can help, I'll be happy to.

Well, we most all agree however we slice it, something is traded, more than wind and void. Lady Pact does have a way with words I could never get out of my nasty fucking head and string together though, gotta admire that. Ron

LadyPact -> RE: the power exchange principle (12/29/2009 8:11:37 PM)

Thank You, LadyPact....that definitely cleared it up for me....and made me finally understand what Ron had been saying...lol...and thank You for Your kindness, LadyPact

Jeffff -> RE: the power exchange principle (12/29/2009 8:15:51 PM)
I would like to add that it seems to me many folks put the accent on "Power. You should'nt forget the exchange part. Jeff

mnottertail -> RE: the power exchange principle (12/29/2009 8:18:48 PM)

UniqueRaven -> RE: the power exchange principle (12/29/2009 8:23:56 PM)

Jeffff -> RE: the power exchange principle (12/29/2009 8:24:20 PM)
There is no "right" way to do this here thang. There is only your way. Jeff
