I see my responsibility to my slave to be looking out for his best interests AND my best interests, in a harmonious way that we can both accept. For instance, I don't care if my slave is overweight, so long as he's physically capable of doing what I require of him. If my slave wished to lose weight, I would support him in that, and would give my orders accordingly, along with continual discussions and so forth. Or if my slave was fit and wished to remain so, I would support him in that by setting aside exercise/gym time in our schedule, etc. Or if my slave wished to quit smoking, etc. NOW for the exceptions! If my slave was overweight, and his cholesterol was off the chart (NOT necessarily synonymous!) or he had diabetes or other medical issues, then we would sit down and have a discussion about this, and yes, I would likely begin to push my slave in a more healthy direction. Fat and bad health are not synonymous. I have a bad back resulting in being thrown from a horse and landing on pavement (yes, it was an ouch); this interferes with my ability to exercise (I can't) and is a source of constant emotional distress because I am unable to dance, which is (was) one of the great joys of my life. dammit. But otherwise I'm in terrific health, I just never get sick, even colds or headaches, my blood work is better than most (thin) people my age; Oh, I think I digressed. Right. So, therefore, the weight issue becomes a value judgement. I don't interfere with my slave's values or impose mine on him... if he's a Republican that's fine, I don't care a flip as long as he keeps his mouth shut. if he's a Christian, that's cool too as long as he doesn't start telling me I'm going to hell... he's not "bad" because he's overweight, or a smoker, and I will be hands-of unless action becomes necessary for whatever reasons. Smoking is not quite so easy to deal (for me, I mean) with because it is a habit, and for most people a VERY hard road to break. I don't smoke, and yes, I do wish my slave didn't too, but I'm not going to push him to do so unless he comes to me and says that's what he wants. Um, I should mention here that I don't have sexual intimacy with my slave... it'd be a WHOLE different ballgame if it were, and he would have to chose between lovemaking and smoking. But since that's not an issue, it is up to the slave to decide whether he wishes to continue smoking or stop. Okay, I've babbled enough here, someone else's turn :) quote:
ORIGINAL: zenofeller If a Dominant/Master, do you consider keeping your sub/slave fit as part of your responsibility to them, along with keeping them from bodily harm ? Is diet and exercise something you ever consider ?
