kinkyfetishlife -> Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:23:01 PM)
Very simple question, I've done a search of the forum but didn't find a clear answer. I see this on profiles here and on other sites: "Under Protection by Master/Mistress (Name)". Why do people put that? What are they being protected from? Why do they need protection? How is this different than any person protecting those they care about? That's really all one question. Just seems to me like they are pointing that out for a reason. Thanks.

It means "mine until I get tired of her." Online-it's usually a way of saying "horny net geeks go bother someone else."

Good luck on this one laughs What does "submitting to", "owned by" or any of these other words mean? You're going to find it means something unique to each individual protector/protected relationship.

when i see that on someones profile i just keep on moving, to me it's the same thing as saying, we're in a relationship, or working towards one but not sure that we want to call it a relationship at this point

When I see it, I think internet drama queen that is going to want me to submit to another internet drama queen or king, to be 'allowed' to communicate with them. I laugh and move on.

Jeffff -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:35:05 PM)
When I see it, I think, dumbass, and then move on.

LaTigresse -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:35:41 PM)
There is that.

You will probably get numerous responses from 'it's just horny net speak' to, 'it's a way of making someone off limits'. But on the whole, all the commentss you will get will be from people who wouldn't use that term ever. Of course there will be exceptions.(That was the caveat for the generalisation[:)]). But the best thing you can do if you really want to have a sincere answer to that question is to market it to the people(individuals) who have it in their profiles and they will give you their personal responses as to why. Otherwise, everyone else is just second guessing. the.dark.

When I see it I think it's someone that has zero self esteem and can't take responsibility for their own choices. Plus they tend to be drama queens. Except for Jefffffff and I. He is my protector. [:)]

Jeffff -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:42:22 PM)
Well yes we are special. I don't believe in mentoring either.... except for Lockit

kinkyfetishlife -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:48:17 PM)
Ok, I thought this would be easier. If someone that has that on their profile could answer, I would appreciate it. Not that you all haven't been very helpful.

Aileen1968 -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 12:53:52 PM)
It basically means they are looking for a night in shining armor to come and rescue them and protect them from the big bad evil doms. Hi Jeffffff [sm=stickineye.gif]

Being a protector apparently does not beat a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

GraciousLady -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 2:20:22 PM)
I myself wonder what they are being protected from? Are there wandering bands of ruthless Dominants I don't know about that will kidnap a submissive against their will and make them pick up dry cleaning or walk dogs? I just think it's another type of Domination or control. If everyone is happy then it's all good. However, as a Dominant I would never consider a submissive if they are under protection. If a sub is incapable of managing their own affairs I don't want them because I don't like to micromanage.

Jeffff -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 2:26:14 PM)
That is BRILLIANT. I am embarrassed that I didn't think of it first. I really need my place cleaned, but I am much to dominate to do it myself. A question GL?......... Since I have kidnapped her, I would have to kill her after she is done cleaning. Then I would have to kidnap another to clean up THAT mess. Where would it end?

When a person is entering in to a dynamic with a dominant, I see it being quite cut and dried with very little grey area. Your are either in service to that dominant or not. When I see someone saying they are under protection, I have to wonder if they or the one protecting them are too indecisive about what they want and need in a D/s based relationship.

lally2 -> RE: Under Protection? (4/14/2010 2:41:12 PM)
ive never seen 'under protection' - that sounds a bit daft really. its one of those strange 'nomansland' situations where youre kinda getting hopeful and a bit submissive toward someone - phone calls and stuff are going well and so far its hitting all of the right buttons but you havent met yet. then the Dom says, 'put youre under protection/consideration/whatever' and the sub goes all goey and happy because hes staking some sort of claim, also she doesnt want to appear awkward by saying 'no thats just stupid' so in true submissive spirit they do as they are asked. its putting the cart before the horse to be honest. you need to meet a person first but then theres a lot of on-line stuff going on. some people put up 'under consideration' even after theyve met - its the sort of 'trial' period, where theyre trying to work out if its going anywhere and/or the submissive is actually under consideration and the D type is taking his sweet time deciding if shes the one or not. basically its to tell any D type that passes through that the sub is to some extent or another 'taken' and they should move right along. its claim staking, pure and simple.
