Kneeling = Bowing down? - 5/2/2006 6:47:08 AM

You know when i'm playing with Himself and become my little sassy self, at times i spout out ....

 "i bow to NO ONE!!!!" 

(which of course its with an impish grin, hands across the chest and a stance only a mother could love)

Himself usually grins back at me, snaps his fingers and points to the floor next to him.  Which of course i blanch and peek up at him... (argggggggggggggg! i think how DARE LOL)  Sometimes i try to spout off again and tell him once more (incase he didnt hear right the firstime)  i dont bow to anyone! 

Though of course, i end up kneeling at his feet.

Granted its a joke here.. but as i was driving today i wondered.  Does kneeling really mean bowing?  It also just occurred to me; that if it doesnt what excatly does it mean?  Not what it shows, or how it makes you feel; but what does it mean?

Kneeling and bowing are not quite the same, though they can be used as such.  Bowing is usually a ritual gesture of acknowledging respect while kneeling is a movement of supplication towards another.

As always- actions have no inherent meaning.  A master can kneel before a slave and it would mean nothing at all other than that's where the master wanted to be.

LOLOLOLOL LA, i think i would fall over laughing my rear end off once i got over the shock.  i think i might look at him like he's crazy, lost his mind, or isnt feeling well.  High fever?  <grins>  LOL i cant think of any Dominant kneeling (unless of course it was kneeling to do xxx.. but not kneeling kneeling) and cracking a big grin and hiding a chuckle.  Ya know, that sounds like fun... i think my new mission in life is to get a Dominant to kneel before me.  i always enjoy a good laugh.  Thanks LA for giving me a good chuckle and bringing a big smile to my face.

Okay!!!!  Which of you Dominants want to kneel at my feet??  i SAY Now!!!!!  KNEEL.  On yer marks.. get set... GO!

(lets see who can kneel the fastest?  Och aye and yeah this is about as close as i'm going to get today.. but i've the rest of my life to see it live)

Well i assume you have the stable partner thing down.. but erm dont you have several partners?  Good lord knows how many you have, i lose track.  <wicked grin>  i dunno though, i'd think out of the many i see post on here - you have the most.  Course i'm usually wrong bout things.. so LOL  But in my mind with my thoughts.. it just seemed funny.

Having several does not equal having a stable.

Currently I have three long-term committed partners.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

yeah that'd be freak out material.. what a laugh!

Himself used to do something similar long time ago.  He'd tell me that if i did xxx and with good behavior he'd let me Top him for xxx amount of time.  Usually something like a month or 6 months. 

<sigh>  What a quandry he'd put me in!!  i'd be all flustered for days thinking about, the impact of it.. ect.  LOL  He'd eventually come back, have a chuckle with me about it.. relieving me of the burden of  OMG Top him!  Course it'd raise a million questions in my mind...  Course he cant do it anymore cos he knows i wont fall for it.

Riot,
A week or so after I got home from the hospital a Dominant friend of mine came over to take me to his house for a BBQ and get me out of the house and into the fresh air for a bit. Well, seeing as I was still full of staples I could not bend down to tie my moccasins. He got down on the floor...BOTH knees....and proceeded to tie my shoes. The sight of it struck me as so comical I nearly popped a staple. Oh the moments when you wish you had a camera handy!!!!

Status: offline 		mmm I love to kneel at someones feet. Makes me feel at home and happy. Most contened postion for me is sitting at His feet with my head on his knee.
If a Dom knelt at my feet i'd probably burst into a fit of giggles.

As for bowing, i used to have the habit of giving a small bow when sent on a task. Say if He said go get me a beer or something i'd bow, say yes Sir and scamper off to do as i was told..

To me, bowing has always felt like a formal way of showing respect. Kneeling displays deeper reverence and supplication. I don't feel they are equal in meaning.

Of course, both acts can change in meaning depending upon context; one can tell when they are rote gestures or when emotional intensity lies behind them. There is kneeling and then there is kneeling. There are many subtle indications of form and motion in a single act which display sincerity and depth. Another example would be assuming the position of "doggie style"; it can be done so many different ways.

thank you for the insight.  Is the difference be sort of like kneeling because you choose to vs kneeling while one is cranky?  What sort of things create the differences do you think?

I would say where your mind is, overall. Playing the "cranky" card is often just that for many self-described brats; they like being forced to do things they "don't want to do", but will kneel with completely honest reverence once inspired to do so. For a girl who is just cranky, resentment will show itself in the way she holds her head or slumps her shoulders; she will not be as serpentine and graceful in her gestures; she will be blunt and sour. To supplement a little further with the doggie style example, she can be on her hands and knees, but if the right gestures are not present in that position, it might cause the male to ask himself, what is she doing? You could just as easily be exercising, or picking something up off the floor. Then of course there is that finishing touch to the gesture; the legs parted and ready, the back arched and ass lifted up for access which screams breed me.

Status: offline 		Riotgirl, Kneeling is where I feel safe, content, useful....  When I kneel to him, the worst of moods will dissipate and all there is is my respect and adoration for him.  I need to kneel before him.  Last year I fell and tore my knee open, and he allowed me to sit, rather than kneel, but I begged to kneel anyway, no matter how my knee hurt.  It's where I belong, after all, kneeling before him.
