Of course, dear.

I'm not qualified in cell popping.

I want everyone to know that I appreciate their responses. Good, bad, or indifferent, I know I needed to hear them. I never want you guys to sugar coat stuff for Me. Unlike some, I want to know what you really think, rather than pat Me on the head.

People come here, at least semi-frequently, to ask if they should get the mark/tattoo/whatever. Giving that mark? That's a huge responsibility to Me. I don't do such things lightly.

For what it's worth, I haven't quite come to a decision yet. As much as I want this particular scene, I know My responsibilities. I'm not going to run out and do anything stupid. Wanting something and doing it are two different things.

Don't tell Me what I want to hear. Tell Me what I need to hear.

The subject: A cutting.

I've done cuttings before. I don't think I've felt the same way.

Why?

I could blather on about loving him. The first submissive male that I was actually "in love" with. I know it's new territory for Me.

How do you feel about cuttings and/or semi-permanent marks?

I will give My sincerest apologies. Last year, I didn't know what it was like to be "in love" with a submissive man before.

Things are different now.

OK, this right here has all the ring of a giddy schoolgirl. On the strength of this alone I'd strongly urge at least a mandatory moratorium for a month or two. Like others, I have a lot of faith in your judgement but man, even Carol said, "This isn't boding well" -- not about the cutting, just about how giddy you seem and the impact that makes on anyone's decision making processes.

Also, Ishtar's response has a lot of wisdom in it.

A question and some comments.
-Does this have to be a permanent thing or can it be a nice cut with a sharp sharp scalpel that will linger for a long time, then fade? Or a lighter brand, one that will heal? Why not go part way and see how things play out?
-Ain't it awful when you wanna wanna wanna do a thing and you're stuck on the fence? I mean, I dunno bout you but I get these things caught in my head-they just bounce around for days. I can picture it. I can taste it. I can hear the screams. I play the scene out a hundred million ways, prep it from every possible angle. All in my head. It's a high in itself, just dwelling on it. Fuck-sometimes it sucks to be responsible.
-Ordinarily I'd be like, "Fuck yes," but you're about to uproot your entire life, lots of things are gonna change, you're coming out of the flip side of an LTR gone south and you've got emotions involved in the decision making process. That's not the best of combinations to go do some serious work from.
-If it's really love, what's the hurry? You have the rest of your life to do it?
-As a rule of thumb for life, if I have to try to rationalize the act beforehand or justify it ex post facto, I probably shouldn't have done it? Not saying either is happening for you, but for me, I let these things flow. I hate to sound all incense sniffing hanging out in the bathroom with some crystals and candles hippie BS, but if these things are right, when it's time, the act will flow. You won't have to fight or debate it because it will be right as rain.

-All that said,ahhhhh, fuck it. You're a true sadistic bitch.*
The slave knew what he was signing on for. If you want to hurt him, do your damndest. Cut that fucker up in a scene that Alaskans will be talking about for decades. Give him the worst/best night of his life and one he'll fruitlessly chase after you move.Be the ghost that haunts his fantasies and nightmares.Ruin his shit for anyone else forever.
WTF else is property for?

True love. Ain't it grand




*meant in absolutely the most respectful, appreciative and complimentary way. Truly

Cutting is not the only way to get the blood... And it can be done without significant risk to marking... Or at least minimal in size.

Ie... I beat Kyra with a barbecue brush on several occasions..... Covered her in blood on occasions.... Mmmm tastes good too! Of course there are other ways too!

Being about the blood.... Hell that is a no brainier in my eyes. But you looking to to cut... Well then you run the risk of permenant markings... Maybe it will fade... Maybe not.

Regardless of how 'right' the world feels, love can be fleeting.....don't carve your real name into his dick, use a pseudonym.

Unless you have put his name on the deed to your house, no. Unless you share a bank a count, no. Unless he's lived with you and gone past the itchy phase where everything is irritating, no.

If you don't offer him that much of you, why would you take so much of him... that is ... you are stealing his future body. Forever, he will have to answer questions if you are no longer together. You could be paired with regret every time he takes his clothes off if you split. I speak from experience.

You sound, Lady Pact, like you are in the midst of Top Frenzy.

I think the interesting part of being D is beyond pushing a sub's limits, it is pushing our own. :-)

Yes, I'm talking real minimum in size, here. Nothing big in the event it would remain longer than expected.
