There are many meanings associated to words, and there's this nasty little thing that's called Context. So yes, it's possible to own a Dom within certain context. We can own yet not own many things. Do we truely own anything at all? (subject of philosophical debate).
Is a Glass half empty or half full when 50% of it's volume contains water? However, if you were to think about this riddle in terms of Mass that occupies the glass..it's no longer a 50/50 issue. Is it really possible to achieve a 50/50 balance when things are compared/measured at the smallest levels?
My point is such; it all depends upon how you look at things. Such is Ownership. There are in fact some submissives that very much own the hearts of their Dominant partners.
Having read through the answers, this one and several others come closest to what I feel.
There is a submissive on here...actually, there are several people on here (grins)...who will tell you that I tend to look at things from many, many, MANY angles. I am trying to be better about that as not everything deserves that level of examination but on a topic such as this, it can be a good intellectual exercise.
I answered a post a few days ago about emotional involvement. While all 4 submissives in my life have owned a piece of my heart, none of them have owned Me. And of those 4 submissives, only 2 owned my heart completely...made me want to build a life with them. Only 1 of them made me reconsider many of my viewpoints on such things as moving from where I live, being more open to certain things, etc..
Does ownership of my heart take away from my dominance? No...but it DOES make a finer, tighter line to walk...between being the romantic partner involved in the heart/emotional aspect and the dominant who needs to set emotions aside and deal with just the D/s aspect. Tis not easy but interaction with the forementioned submissives has also taught me that it is not always an easy line for them. But in the end, I own them...they do not own me. But in the overall aspect, as whiplash and others noted, it all depends which angle you are looking at in that particular piece of time. Because though they don't own me, their feeling of possessiveness does not ease...nor should it...with that knowledge.
