Arpig, just because your opinion is different than others, doesn't mean that we don't want to hear it. I had never heard of 'collaring' until I meant a Dom friend a couple of years ago. I'm still not sure that I understand the necessity of it, but I look at it as something that each person decides on their own.

The thread isn't about collaring per se, but rather if doing it will change her relationship. The OP clearly considers collaring something important, and thus this is not the thread to go into why I feel differently. To her and her man, it is a significant milestone in their relationship, so who am I to belittle that, just because I don't agree with them. Start a thread about whether collaring in general is important and I'll wade in, but it isn't really appropriate to do so on a thread like this one, that's all. I can't advise the OP on her original question, and thus wished her well & offered the only advise I could...relax and enjoy the ride.
