Bullshit on what?

i like how people discredit me because of my age.

i live the lifestyle and i have worked very hard to get where i am now. it's real life to me with real emotions, sometimes that gets a bit confusing. If me sincerely asking for help makes you think i am feeding you bs... then ok *shrug*.

that's the grey area between fantasy and reality. in fantasies Masters only give orders that are easy, or they only "force" us to do things we want to do anyway. =p sometimes these things are simply about expanding our ideas on what slavery is. i think, for some, it's just a natural way to feel when adjusting to that kind of control.
maybe your subconscious feels this is right for you, but your conscious mind is battling against all the things it has stored from your lifetime. so you have this complicated internal dialogue between you and yourself, and you don't 'know which side to believe.
but i agree with porcelaine (who's response was so very well written) that as long as you are motivated by your desire/fantasy, then you're bound to fail because reality and fantasy almost never line up. and some fantasies just don't work out in real life.

67204's post raises some good points, too -- did you discuss exit strategies? in a way, having the contract is a way to help you maybe pull out of the tough spots without running away -- sometimes people run away TOO SOON, rather than working on the relationship and themselves to solve the problem. but other times, they do need to run, because the situation or the person isn't right for them. unfortunately in life, every person you meet won't be right for you, and you need to take stock of what is causing this conflict, how important and necessary is it to your happiness, and work it out from there.
try talking to your Master face to face about the problems you're having -- if he wont' listen, that might be the biggest problem.

edit: and remember "listening" doesn't mean he'll do everything you want how you want it, listening only means that he takes in your viewpoints and tries to understand them. it might inform the way he does something, but if he can't listen and try to understand, it's unlikely this is a problem he's only had with you.



"maybe your subconscious feels this is right for you, but your conscious mind is battling against all the things it has stored from your lifetime. so you have this complicated internal dialogue between you and yourself, and you don't 'know which side to believe. "
- Think that is exactly it i think to be honest. thank you so much.
And there is no need for exit strategies, He was my Master for 8 months before. He knows more about me than anyone else, He knows who i am and what i need. He knew if He gave me a chance i'd run away when things got hard. I am glad He didn't let me. In the end, i don't really want to go, it's just hard sometimes when things get hard.

I love it. I found out, when I thought about it, that this was my number one fantasy of all time, was to be owned.


Greetings,

In my opinion the above comment is at the root of your problem. You've invested energy visualizing a utopia that was bound to burst. While I can appreciate fantasy and believe it has its place, I prefer to look at the grits instead. I give consideration to all the things you've mentioned and then some. How am I going to respond when that occurs? And what about my personal holy grail. Those little things I love to do or enjoy about myself that I wouldn't wish to change? Am I still willing to place myself in his hand and accept his verdict when it opposes my own? And what's more important, being owned by him or being enslaved according to the idea I've fed in my head? Hopefully it isn't the latter.

I could give you a handy piece of advice that would probably make this somewhat simpler, but it's meaningless unless you've pinpointed the reasons behind your position. Why are you there? And why do you sincerely want to be his slave rather than his submissive? Are you enthralled by the idea of control or is the reality of being taken in hand truly in your heart? I ask this because there will be instances where disappointment, frustration, and other emotions loom and the only thing that keeps you from caving is your commitment to him. For some it is strengthened by love, gratitude, respect, obedience, and so on. But for all intents and purposes the seed must exist within otherwise the thorns will snuff it out.

In short, whatever looms greatest is where you'll go.If he's the gust of wind you'll move in his direction or definitely find your way back before you stray too far. If you're led by your own desires that stand outside of his wishes you'll flow against the current and continue to struggle. Of course you can stop this by admitting your fear, dropping the expectations, voicing your concerns, and leaving the fairy tales behind. Become the slave he wants rather than the one you believed you were. He's your compass. The confusion and emotional turmoil will abate if you remember that.

Namaste,

~porcelaine


This post was amazing. I need to reread it a few times. I am going to talk to Him about all of this and I think a lot of points you mentioned really help me and give me things to think about.
thank you for taking the time to help me.

I got to agree with tiger.

..even if I don't like agreeing with her cuz that means she's right


The relationship you are in, is at its core a relationship that follows every normal vanilla relationship rules there are, there is no "no-leaving". The only different thing is that a kink is added to it to give it a bit of flavor, the kink is an extra, based on consensus. If there is no consensus the kink is set aside and you're left with the boring but good old vanilla.

Doesn't matter about not leaving, don't want to. He knows that. i am 19, i am going to want to run away when things get hard if He doesn't hold me in. He makes slavery very hard, but very rewarding if i do things right in the end.

OP, You seem to have a tendancy to get yourself in "interesting" situations. My opinion is that while you may say you've had these "fantasies" from an early age and that "being submissive is just part of my heart and soul"...you're still playing in a fantasy land. You say the right words and phrases, but there seems to be a thing or two missing. Perhaps reality and maturity?

Just my $0.02 on the situation...take it for what it's worth.

What she said! And also, like lally, I took a look at your profile. Ahem; you have a contract, with a Master, which is intended to be the fulfilling of all your needs; and you've previously been with him D/s for 8 months. And neither this guy, nor any of this is mentioned on your profile? Sorry, but this is not an M/s or D/s relationship as I understand it! First thing I would have done with you, even in D/s, never mind M/s, is to tell you to put that magick word 'Owned by.........' at the top of your profile! If you've not even got to that kind of stage, I'm just wondering what else has sort of got left out? Good advice given by all here; and sorry if this is some new kind of M/s system developed in the US and totally alien to all I know, but I really think you and this guy need to look seriously at what you're doing! And - erm - what precisely is he doing while you're on here posting about all this? Since you're so young, if you were mine I'd encourage you to seek out advice in such a situation. But I'd also expect acknowledgement that you were posting with my knowledge and permission, and that we were also in discussion about it.


Because it's CM... i don't take it seriously when it comes to finding people.If anyone were to message me that i was interested in i'd say i wasn't allowed to talk and they need to go to fl to get permission from Master first.
i am not allowed to date anyone in the lifestyle while under contract to Him.
BUT i've been here for years. CM was the first thing i signed up for before i even tried anything, i want to be able to keep that there and see how far i've gone. Already i am stunned where i see i've been and where i am now. To what i even want. It says i want a relationship sort of on my profile... at this point i feel like i want to be totally owned. i don't know yet, but it's good to have that there to look back upon.. i already mentioned it's not all true anymore and many changes have happened. my fetlife is totally different for a reason.

It's not there to be insincere, i barely spend time on cm. And, LOL Master agrees CM is a joke (Although the forums aren't usually why i go on them you guys are giving me great advice thank you!!) but he wouldn't even take it seriously. I probably should delete it though and just save it on word now you guys have made me stop and think about it. I just wanted to keep it there till i had to time to rewrite my whole entire profile... which if i remember right i even said that on my profile. Obviously my rewrite will be totally different considering where i am now. i need to be able to rewrite it when i know for what i want and need. i am not sure of that anymore. When i wrote that profile i was sure i wanted that. i want to be able to rewrite when i am sure yet again, or else i don't want to rewrite anything.


If its all a joke to you on here, pet, I suggest you show more respect and go elsewhere, that Master does approve of.

I think having an active CM profile shows a lack of commitment on your part. It would take far less time to add "Owned by xxx, profile to be re-written" than what you posted above.

Perhaps a lack of commitment is inherent in the problem expressed in your OP?

Also, several people have asked if this is online or RL and I didn't note your answer - if it is buried somewhere, please point it out.

That's fine. Lol, i've done a lot to get here with my Master and find the right Master for me. Doesn't matter whether i am 18 or 19 people are going to jump all over me. I just ask for advice, if you don't want to help that's fine.

This makes as much as sense as questioning the commitment of a submissive partner who doesn't wear hir collar 24/7. Or doesn't always respond with honorifics.

How come is it that i ask for advice and people jump all over me ....for what?....What exactly are you getting at? that i am 19...........? Yeah ok i am and i am just trying to figure this all out - if that bothers you then please go away. Didn't mean to upset anyone just some people give really good advice on here, sometimes talking about it helps.

Exactly. i don't talk to anyone on CM like message them. But, if someone DID talk to me i'd use the proper protocol i was trained to do if it called for it.

i only use cm for the message boards. And Master knows i use it.

Anyways, received a lot of good advice. It feels a lot more clear now. Thank you to everyone who actually helped me.

I'm going to not post anymore because people are just going to jump all over me if i say anything, not here to be cyberbullied, here to learn and talk about actual problems.

I have internal conflicts all the time, and I'm old. Sometimes I do just want to walk away from the m/s, it's difficult at times. But that's a passing feeling, so I've learned to ignore it, knowing it's a temporary state and that my true direction lies in staying where I am. I don't see anything wrong with stopping and thinking of all options from time to time, to be sure that where you are is where you truly belong. If a reminder of your commitment helps keep you in place long enough to think, so be it. If you get to a point where the commitment no longer matters, just have sense enough to recognize it. But make sure that you are honoring or discarding your commitments on sound grounds, not the flight of fancy of a moment's discomfort.
Oh, and I don't update my profile here either. It's just not important to me.

You don't think having a profile full of "I'm looking for" when she is in fact owned is weird? Anyway, she made the update so it's moot.

Maybe its the fact i can't escape it. i signed up for a 6 month contract. He cannot leave me and i cannot leave Him. In fact yesterday i sent Him a whole long email about how i was going to leave.



Firstly I don't ask anyonre's permission or concensus to post or to mail you.

There is no such thing as can't escape unless you are actually interned in a prison.
But it's not a question about this anyway in my opinion.
I feel for you. I have been here and done this and I agonised for two month. I had a close confidante, a friend, also within the lifestyle, whom I emailed and called and spoke to. I also had a friend who I eventually met up with and I subbed to him. It was the first time I had had such an illicit affair. Breaking my contract with my Master who had moved into my house. I was lying. But I was lying to the one I called Master.
Now what was the lie actually about?
It may have been about any of the following...and I say any...becuase indeed it was a combination of them that shifted at any one time.
1. I was incompatable with my Master.
2. This incompatabiliy was based on an absence of compatability outside of those things I woulld have termed bdsm. No shared world view. Competing personalities. Sexual incompatability: I wasn't attracted to him
3. I was actually in what I now call bdsm limbo: within a longer term shift from being submissive to being dominant. Although my experiences as a submissive I now absolutely value now, at that time my psosition as a submissive felt like an inner trap.
It was as a slave, within a contract, that gave me most moral concern. I justified the affair as one at the time that would save my life. I felt so wretched that I had felt that ending my own life was the only way out. Worse still I knew that I could never do this as I had young persons dependent upon me and indeed the houshold was dependent upon me financially. See how ill this admission of 'killing myself fixation looks? When I analyse the siuation like this I will admit that it looks crazy on paper.
So, in the end, I admitted to my Master what I felt. The words came tumbling out. Of course, the world kept on turning. Nothing of any severity changed. After all we were just a couple living out a fantasy of bdsm. He moved out. Devastated and silient for two months of living separated within the same house. his Mastery entirely dented.
I say this because i admit to the inner turmoil and want to help you. It hurt him more I think than it hurt me.
For me it was a turning point. And although my posts here can be irreverent at times, I simply want you to know that I write with absolute sincerety as I know what is on the other side of this has to be better than the inner turmoil you find yourself in now. And that although it may feel like a tprturous transition, transition it is. And people transition from one gender to another, from one orientation to another and indeed from one side of the kneel to the other far more than any text book or set of guidelines on idealism would have us believe.
Absolute compatability and indeed love is again possible.

I think the avoidance of answering the question is the answer. Of course that is just my cynical old bitchy self talking.

The OP is so full of immature bullshit I cannot imagine anyone putting up with it for long in their day to day, physical life. Unless of course, she is totally fucking hot, an amazingly fantastic lay, and he owns stock in Duct tape and gets it by the case. Even then, I wouldn't give the guy much credit.
