I distinguish between "24/7 relationship" and "live in relationship."

You're right, they aren't the same. Just like masochism isn't the same as submission. But they go together very easily.

A man who is married to a woman in the armed forces who is called away on duty still has a 24/7 relationship as a married man- even if they don't live together or even see eachother.

i agree with you. i do not live with my Master but i am his slave, every moment of every day. He runs my life, 24/7.

Live-in slave means living together...but even living together does not mean they are in the presence of one another 24/7.

What exactly does 24/7 mean to you?

Just being true to myself 24/7 and expecting the same from my partners.

It means that I belong to him always - including when we are apart. It means that every moment of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, everything I do is done with Him in mind. It means that I strive to do Him proud in all that I do, whether it is done for Him, directly, or for myself or someone else.

At the same time her being mine is not dependent on what we are doing. We may be cooking dinner together and having a wonderful playful time, but there is never a moment in that exchange that she does not belong to me and where I am not in charge. She belongs to me every moment of every day we relate to one another in that way, so in our little world that is how we think of 24/7

24/7 to me is more about the attitude of the people involved. i do not live with my Dominant, but i consider our relationship to be a 24/7, lifestyle D/s relationship, because we do spend quite a bit of physical time together and even when we do not, we talk a lot, and so there is a lot of communication, openness, and reliance in the relationship. we are constantly in a D/s dynamic, whether i am at school and He is at work, or we are dealing with family issues, or we are together at the bookstore in a "vanilla" setting, or i am serving Him at home. that is 24/7 to me.

Exactly!! As His little one....there is not a second that goes by during the day that i am not aware of being His. Work, shopping, hanging out with my sister...there is a part of me that is tied to Him and aware of how He would want me to be or act.

That´s a bit simple way to put it. 24/7 can also mean constant devotion and being "on call" though the D/s couple doesn´t live with each other.
In my case I´m owned, controlled in quite many aspects of my life and cared for by Mistress, but we don´t live together.

24/7 means they live with each other 24 hours 7 days of the week the Dynamic of the relationship is up to the Top and bottom..

Why?

I don't live here, though I am here a large amount of time. That doesn't change a thing, whether I am here or not there is never a moment she does not belong to me or conduct herself in a manner that reflects it.

K

your owned but not 24/7 as 24 stands for 24 hours 7 days a week its jut what it stands for

belonging and ownerhip is something else.

its just slang for living in same place as its not a BDSM term its just what what bit means

besides its what it means to each person was the question ..which means We DON'T have to agree.

I couldn't have said it better. This is how I see 24/7 for me also.

24/7 to me means a constant underlying current to the relationship. it is always there.. you are always owned.. his word is always final.

even if i'm left with vanilla friends while he goes and does something. When we didnt live together, i once spent the night at some of vanilla friends house. still owned, still to follow rules. Even when we used to go out to bars/slubs.. still to follow rules still obey. no matter where when who or what's going on.. his word is always final. If he decides something is to happen.. or not happen.. it goes as he chooses.. and at times i DO get to choose but then if he doesnt like my choice, he'll decide what the "new" decision is. LOL i cant even choose to be vanilla, i've been denied twice now. BUT i was allowed not to be bi anymore = ) His decision over rides any decision i make.. even if i LIKE my decision and not his.. it still overrides.

It means i am owned and responsible for keeping my behavior to the standards set for me, expected of me all the time, in and out of their presence.

It means my unconditional service is theirs at any time all the time.

It means being allowed to provide service to them in any manner, sexual or vanilla, gives me intense joy.

It means doing as they wish; relying on the knowledge both Master and Mistress will always strive to do what is correct for me
.
It means i am cherished, desired, safeguarded, and ensconced in their love.

For me it means blissfulness, contentment, deep inner peace, total satisfaction.

It means i wake everyday safe in the sanctuary of the stainless steel collar around my neck.

Does ones actions and responsibilities end with a goobye? Does the collar come off when you're not together? I guess like everything else.. we are all entitled to our choices and opinions but for me.. 24/7 means 24 hours, 7 days a week my actions reflect on Him.

I look at 24/7 more along the lines of being owned completely. Not necessarily living with your Master/Dom, but knowing that you do everything with Their permission/blessing/wishes. For example, I don't look at my own relationship as 24'7 because, although my Love is my Dom, He does not have all that much control over me. I choose my own activities, and worry neither about rules that He has set for me to govern my life, or whether or not He would allow me to do such things. The day that my Love sets firm rules for me, as in what to wear on a daily basis, that I must have His permission to do simple things like go to a party, or take a certain class, little things like that... Then I will be His 24/7.... Okay, that's a little convoluted and confusing... But I hope it gets my point across.

24/7 is not literal, it can’t be, that would be impossible. Things like sleep, eating, wandering thoughts, etc. get in the way no matter what. So if 24/7 is not literal but figurative, the meaning can be as diverse as the number of minds in a forum.

To me? Haven’t figured it out yet.

24/7 is literally that, you are owned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is not only possible, there are numerous people living just that.
You are owned or the owner no matter what else is going on. Every thing you do is colored by the collar you wear.

I believe what you are referring to is practicing 24/7 actively sexual kink. As opposed to a 24/7 lifestyle lifetime commitment, which admittedly can also be referred to as a kink. Though for most is a life choice, not just a kink.

Do we stop being a husband or a wife, a daughter or a parent stops when we sleep or other such things? If not, why would we stop being dom/sub, owner/slave, owner/pet, or whatever roles people have in their 24/7?

*Applauds TammyJo*

This has been hard to get my head around, but I do believe Master and I are in a "24/7" D/s relationship. We live together, I serve as His carer. I'm available to Him as and when He wants and needs me to be. Even though I do not call Him Master or Sir all the time (though I do in our scenes together), the dynamic is there even when we're not thinking about it. For me it's an instinct - even when I could hardly walk when I broke my toe a couple of weeks ago it was SO hard for me to see Him do for himself things I usually do for Him

Those other things you mention are established positions not something within a time frame. The equivalent would be calling one a slave. As for 24/7, literally that would mean 24 hours seven days a week you are under control. Again I say not possible because if your mind slips from that for even a second the 24/7 is not fulfilled. The question wasn't slave, which is like a husband, wife, daughter, parent, etc.
