I had to ask few months back what the hell TPE was, no fun of the text spake etc or initials.

Depends, what type of relationship do you mean:
1 the poor stereotypical one where knowledge is obtained from bad writings all over the net and cavity stretching porn and propagated to those who are naïve/genuine/no no better as fact in real life
2. equilibrium is a fine word – there must always be balance and there is in total power exchange (well at least there should be)…although rarely, with the correct person it can be thrown hilter kilter and taken but it not something I have done more than thrice in my whole lifetime….as the other person is important
3. thrash them into next week with a toaster and rifle through there bag for coinage of the realm, as they are lying there bewildered. Spend said cash in the appropriate a manner; muffins cheap chardonnay 100 inch lcd so can beat of the enormous cavity stretching porn

You get the gist methinks
Some people take that which was not offered in the first place
Some people know no better in the relationship
Others are conditioned to believe bad stereotypes are th e norm

Well thanks for all who responded. I suppose my error was in thinking that power was being exchanged for power, which I think is not usually the case.

Although there are powers brought to the table by the submissive, for example my girl is good at book keeping, so she has "power" over the books and bills. But that outside skill is not part of the relationship core or the power given to the D-type over the S-type. So yes, it's not power for power.

I think that, as a slave-type, I want to submit without limit, which, I think would be the same as total power exchange in the general scheme of things. My take on this is that it is all about trust. A no limit slave basically offers its Master/Mistress absolute trust, and has absolute faith in Him/Her that He/She will not do things to it that will harm it permanently or cause it to be arrested, etc. I see a slave's submission, without limit to be the same as total power exchange. The slave offers total trust in exchange for total control by the Master/Mistress.

And just before the "no limits" nay-sayers get on their high horses, my specific definition of this is that the slave does not place limits on the Master/Mistress' treatment of it, it does not mean that the Master or Mistress can cut off His/her slave's arms in the middle of the local Mall. It involves a god deal of common-sense, and as I say, trust. That's not to say the Master and slave might not have an amputation kink, but puh-lease, not in the mall!

Have a great day everyone.

I think in a perfect world, yes, this is the quintessential dynamic. It is pretty awesome when a slave is pliable to your demands and needs apart from the "let's not call 911" things. If only all Doms felt that way then slaves wouldn't have to shield themselves behind "limits". Also I heard of the body mod stuff, I chat now and then with a rope master who does it with a cigar and it all depends on how deep into play both parties are willing to go. So many variables. Collarspace was eye opening for me to how different kinksters can be.
