Greetings everyone,
Some very good questions here, and while I can see how these things can be issues to many of those who live in a Dominant/submissive relationship of the more "romantic" sort -- in other words -- those where it is a committed relationship involving romantic feelings -- much like a marriage. For many of those of us who have multiple submissives and/or slaves, it is much different. Afterall, ask any avid cat-owner -- is ONE cat REALLY enough :). This does not mean that you don't have feelings and pride for those that you own, it merely means that there are more options in all areas of life.
For one, work decreases for all those involved -- making room for extra persuits and even a bit of fun. The work-load for one loving submissive to care for ALL of your needs may be hard on him or her long term. What about his interactions with his or her family? What about a job outside the house, or a career even? What about when you want to be pleased in a sensual fashion late at night and your beloved submissive has to get up early the next morning? Do you REALLY want to wake him or her? What if he or she is sick and you have no one other than yourself to rely on to aid them in recovery? What if he or she just REALLY cannot cook, but want to please you so much.... and you have no one else to rely on.
With multiple submissives, not only is the work load shared, there are also options in case of illness, odd timings and job conflicts. It even gives a chance to rotate duties and avoid matching duties with those who are NOT fit for them -- such as having one who cannot keep an office plant alive be responsible for the household vegetable garden. Much better to stick that individual to serving meals and giving massages.
Companionship is another good reason to have more than one submissive. As a Dominant there are SOME things I can just not be for those who are owned by me. I can never be their spouse if he or she is a slave. I can never be his or her best friend. I am an Owner. As such, there will need to be other outlets for companionship, friendships, social interactions and in cases even marriage.
There are many more reasons for having more than one, but these two are the top two I can think of right off hand. And yes, there is love involved, but it is not romantic love. There is usually not even "friendship" involved -- but rather the love between a pet/Owner, a more paternal or maternal love, and similar arrangements. Do I love them all equally: No -- but I love them all in their own unique manner. For instance, one who wants to be humiliated and treated like dirt would not likely feel the same or experience my love as one who is a cherished pet of mine.
Proprietrix stated it thusly:
>A Goddess having more than one worshipper doesn't justify worshipping more >than one God.
How true, that usually ends up with plagues and hail of Fire.
>A Queen having millions in her kingdom would consider it treason if her >countrymen hailed a different Queen.
You have fergotten a good one. A mother can have many children, but a child will usually ONLY have one mother. And that bond of love is stronger than many romantic ones :).
>The basic principal is that these are asymmetrical relationships. The one in power >acquires enthusiasts.
Very true and I agree with it. This is why I think it is possible to have more than one submissive, while it is very rare to serve two houses.
Very many others made good points as well, but I will end my post here :).
