twicehappy, Thanks for your input, now how about some words on how to execute that trick!! CP

CelticPrince -> RE: The effect of love on the D/s dynamic (7/7/2006 1:47:26 PM)
aintbehaven, Yes it makes sense, and your a couple that seems to make it work, but so many have so much difficulty, perhaps you could share some secrets of execution. Thanks for your input. CP

quote: ORIGINAL: Caretakr quote: ORIGINAL: agirl quote: ORIGINAL: Caretakr quote: ORIGINAL: agirl quote: ORIGINAL: Caretakr This is pretty much how I see it too. A Master who needs a slave so badly that he will let his core be stepped on is going to lose the respect of the slave. There's no leverage left, and the slave comes to feel it's just a game for him. Doesn't mean there cannot be affection-just that when it comes down to it,"my way of the highway" has precedence over the mushy stuff. This is where I always have an enormous problem.......... I haven't managed to arrive at a suitable notion of love that can satisfy me at all. Needing is just not in the same catagory as love ( despite not having defined love)......for me.....needing is parasitic. agirl Love, by itself, is parasitic. It's all about how someone makes you feel about yourself. And if they stopped making you "feel" that way-it would stop. "Need" is an expression of fullment, waiting to be realized. And exactly how parastic it is, depends on the balance you return in giving back what you take. There is no need for guilt if the symbiosis returns to itself smoothly. Hello Caretakr, Could you explain a little further why you think* love, by itself, is parasitic? I'm just rolling these thoughts around and am not trying to go anywhere with them, it is interesting to look at other's ideas and their take* on these things. agirl Let me put it this way. Many people are in love with love. And it's pretty hormonal, when you get right down to it. Now I realize that it arises from a chemical soup in the body, triggered by an attraction. I liken this to an addiction. I prefer the more spiritual connection, sometimes reffered to as "Agape". ie- Unconditional love. A love that stems from the ability of the initiate to see the divine spark in all life. A mutual reverence and awe of the divine, within and without. You see,"love" born of lust is transitory. Thusly, it is parasitic...And will fade, when lust declines through familiarity. This is why I often speak of the value of bonding afforded by mutual dreams and visions. When I look at M/s, I am seeking a partner who can dance with me through life-taking joy and satisfaction through the subtle interplay we have with each other-and with our connection to all that is, and will be. Love is taking the joy in each moment, one step at a time. And in leaving footprints behind us that may be of benefit to others, in thier dances.[;)] Hello again, Why call this love at all? Why not just call it a bonding.... I have no difficulty defining a bond. As for unconditional love....... that's entering into the realms of something that I can't be sure I am actually capable of. Why is love taking the joy in each moment...what is....taking the joy of each moment, without adding love* to it?..... agirl

As in all things, love adds an additional dimension and technicolor to what may be wonderful, but simply black and white.

Love an ocean with invisible shores, with no shores. If you are wise you will not swim in it (Rabi'ah bent Ka'b) i am a good swimmer and probably then i will never get enuogh wisdom - smile - i am not sure how many have such a prudence to avoid love and that our own folly let us drawn in all kind of love all love create divinity who gives love its fathomless depths. to know that a relationship has this divine strain - may we are free to enjoy the humans elements more? may we wont be distracted by imperfections , wont demand that relationships play itself out according to our expectations and ideologies. and may we would discover that by being kind to others we learn being kind to ourselves. we have genuine tolerance for individuality, for the relationship itsself and for ourselves. love is there where destinies cross and hearts intermingle.... independent of D/s, M/s, parents/child, marriage.... with love - i am free.. to swim - smile - myself i do not wanna miss ....

Slipstreme -> RE: The effect of love on the D/s dynamic (7/7/2006 3:28:07 PM)
It is my love for z that enables me to treat her like the slave she is. In our case, love has done nothing but strengthen the bond between Master and slave, and the M/s dynamic was born out of the love we have for each other. She is still my property and she says it frequently, that yes, I do make her feel like nothing more than a piece of meat, but at the same time, the most loved and treasured piece of meat on the planet.

xxblushesxx -> RE: The effect of love on the D/s dynamic (7/7/2006 3:52:57 PM)
in reply to the original query; I reluctantly admit that Master has said more than once, that being in love with me has made Him less strict with me as His slave. otoh; I could not have remained His without His eventual love... I have no solutions; just grudgingly admit that maybe perhaps somemasterswhoshallremainnamelessfornow were right in the past when there were arguments over this subject. Or at least right up to a certain point... Can't help ya on this one!! Christina

quote: ORIGINAL: CelticPrince When an D and an s get together to form a household in r/l , what is the effect of the love emtion on the D/s dynamic. *Does is make it more acute or less acute.* *Does the D/s dynamic give way to vanilla kind of love as the comfort level of vanilla style living takes over?* CP Dear Celtic Prince.... and all.... Ok... so here's my eccentric take on it. Personally, I don't use the metaphor (or reality) of slave at all.... and as for dom/sub ... sometimes I speak like that, but for me.... it's about *possessions and being possessed.* I have very few possessions, and as I move thru this life, I seem to want fewer and fewer. I've always been a bit of a minimalist... and it's accelerating as I move into my '50's. But, for the few things I do own, ... I want very fine things. I want a few possessions that I own and control completely, that I can *use hard and well.... but not abuse or neglect them. To get "Freudian" ... maybe the reason I want few things is so I can really pour all my care and attention....and love into those few precious things that I cherish. Now... for this romantic old goat.... what could possibly be a more rare and treasured gift than the willing surrender.... growing with trust and time towards more and more complete surrender ... of a woman's heart and mind and body and energies and emotions and sensations and feelings, her efforts, her service, her labor, her kisses, her tears.... and when it's good..... the surrender of her very soul to a trusted lover like me. For me, not to love and honor the surrendered soul of a woman, is impossible. All that delicious bondage.... strong, direct and consistant punishment, the ordeals of the flesh that connect us.... the playing and displaying of her body for my amusement and pleasure... all that wonderful play.... orgasms, semen, sweat, tears, pussy-juice.... It's like that stuff is the mere top-dressing on our paths.... one of surrender... and one of authority. So yes, I say love.... real love, a genuine love and appreciation of fine things...... for me... that makes it work better. DD .... PS..... Gawd.... I just re-read this long post instead of manically just firing it off like I usually do, fuck..... this old goat is sometimes just so damned artsy -fartsy. Can't help it. But I do notice* it's a pretty high horse I'm on here .... PSS... another guy here said (and I thought it was terriffic) "Fuck her how I want, and hold her tight after". Strip away all my rationalizations... and there's a lot of truth to that one too!

Love is what defines the relationship for me. Without it, there is no relationship.

ExSteelAgain -> RE: The effect of love on the D/s dynamic (7/7/2006 6:12:48 PM)
Sure I can love my slave and keep her under control. Love allows higher levels of submission from her. She knows I love her and have her well being in mind. Does loving her mean I’ll let her do what she wants? Not at all. The authority dynamic is always there and she is going to do things she doesn’t want to do.

irishbynature -> RE: The effect of love on the D/s dynamic (7/7/2006 6:14:49 PM)
I feel that loving would only enhance the dynamic between the two.

quote: ORIGINAL: feastie Love is what defines the relationship for me. Without it, there is no relationship. Thank you feastie [:)] Master and I are in love, we've been together for 2 1/2 years and will be getting married on December 9. He is my first Master. We met online in 2002. I didn't know He was a Dom then, it was several months later that the subject came up. Our relationship started off as friends but I just knew there was something special about Him. Long story short we met in r/l a few months later and I became His lover and sub. I don't have any other D/s type relationship to compare ours to but for me it is necessary to have that connection for me to be able to fully submit. To give Him that trust, to know He would never hurt me or do anything I didn't like.....He does push limits but only after careful observation and communication. For us love is an enhancement not an encumbrance [:)] It can only have a negative effect on the dynamic if you let it. Right now He is trying to break me of the habit of picking and nibbling the skin around my thumbs until it is raw, something I have done for years as a stress reliever [&o] He has made me wear latex gloves when He caught me doing it (they make my hands sweaty and it feels horrible[:'(]) and has told me next time He catches me doing it it will be 20 cold with the crop - and I know damn well He'd do it too!
