Dear Ladies and Gentlemen;
In my salad days in the scene, the first thing the senior Master told me, was that the number one rule for all slaves was, to protect themselves from harm--even from their Master(s)/Owners. The Masters have the same number one rule, to protect themselves from harm from their slave(s).
Harm or injury, not only addressed the physical but, the spiritual, the emotional, the mental realms also. No exception. Humiliation was not tolerated outside of a role play scene period in those days of mine. I do not participate in such as a practice.
As for the right for a slave to say no, it is indeed a right. However, by saying no, the slave would be advised of the consquences. There was a way of saying no to a Master, without challenge of the Master's authority. It was a phrase used in my time; "Not if it pleases you, [Insert title]" The Master had a choice to treat it as a "no" and change course or continue. Most Masters, and I personally treat this way of saying no, as more of a 'no, I'm not ready' rather than a planting all four stubborn feet down and refuse.
Masters need to understand, that patience has rewards. By letting slaves set the needed supports through their Master, the trigger being "Not if it pleases you." If I have a slave say this, I move more gentle, kinder and more patient. Their slave heart wants to obey but, their logicial, mental/emotional mind struggles or fears what is to come. As a Master, I owe it to that slave to work with them, beside them, support them over this struggle, so the next time I command such obedience, they can gladly say, "Sir, Yes Sir!" I will not allow them to avoid something. I will just guide them how to face it head on. It can only enhance the trust factor.
As I identify as a Master/Mistress/Dominant; it is my duty and also my honor, to listen to my slaves. At times, they have more wisdom then I and their advice is extremely welcome.
One thing, out of many things learned as a Master/Mistress/Dominant; is that if I can help my slave be a better slave, in turn by being a better slave, I then can become a better Master. When I am a better Master to them, the more returns I get from the investment. I will expect I will hear 'no' occassionally but, in these words--"Not if it pleases you Master/Mistress/Dominant/SIR and or your favorite title."
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
