ORIGINAL: smileforme50 I've heard this same general concept from a multitude of Dominants and I just don't get it. I guess I have too much of a black & white concept of good & bad, being nice or mean, love & hate, etc. To me, love & hate and nice & mean are such polar opposites that I see that there are very distinct ways to demonstrate each of these emotions and it would be very difficult for anyone to confuse one for the other. Yes...there are "pain sluts" and to someone who doesn't like pain, the idea of receiving ANY type of pain goes against their accepted definition of love. Even though for the pain slut it IS love. I can understand the physical concept of these things....even if that's not the way I am. I know that there are masochists out there who actually ENJOY physical pain, and that's great for them and I don't question that. What I don't understand are some of the more mental/emotional things. For instance, someone I was talking to recently has the following on his profile: "I practice the principle of HARD: honor, accountability, responsibility and duty." "I seek a female that chooses to be a lesser vessel; to be loved, cared for and led by a man. I believe that men should function as the Head of Household (HOH) and that women are to be taken in hand and led as such." Yet in conversation with him he also told me that the slave he takes needs to understand and accept that she will (status wise) be nothing more than a "3-way cum receptacle". That way, if she can maintain that state of mind and mental status, she will have a greater appreciation for the times when she is not treated as such. But for me, I can't see the concept of "3-way cum receptacle" being the PRIMARY tone of the relationship while at the same time there is "honor, accountability, responsibility and duty" and being "loved and cared for" by the same person who sees my as that receptacle. I think I don't have problem understanding and accepting the idea of a Master loving and caring for his masochist slave because physical pain for the slave isn't the primary tone of the relationship on a daily basis. Sure, the slave may be given *some* type of physical pain every day, but is it the main way the Master sees his slave....just as something to beat, pinch, stab or cut? How does a Master love and care for something he sees as no more than a 3-way cum receptacle? Is any part of this something you are trying to assimilate into your dynamic?
