this girl fully understands that not everyone is alike and some have no desire to be out from under their Master/Dom's thumb, ever. this girl has always been independant and although she revels in her service to her Master, He is very strict and this girl is not one to be "on" all of the time. Master is aware of this and also aware that after He has allowed His tiger to hunt alone for a bit, she is a much better pet for Him. W/we are not in a new relationship, W/we have been together for 2 years and have learned what works for U/us. ML's, Responding mostly in the context of the underlined and bold section of your post. To us, this is the key distinction and causes the need for a slave/submissive to seek "personal, private time". You indicate that you are "on" when submissive to your Master. It requires a certain mindset to be "on" when submissive. beth is "off" when submissive. Day to day activities require certain costumes and decorum. You're "vacation" or "off" mode may be going to mall in jeans and tee-shirt and shopping and chit-chatting with your girlfriends. To beth she would have to be "on" to take part in the same activity. If we had to go to the mall beth would prefer to be naked at the end of my leash crawling. It's one of the reasons we so love, and are looking forward to going to the Folsom Street Fair in two weeks. At least for that day, she will be naked at the end of a leash at a lifestyle mall. Not crawling though because the street would rip up her knees. We've been together for four years. Right at the beginning, beth's joy in the relationship, and one of the most appreciated aspects, was that she felt our relationship was the first dynamic she had been involved that allowed her to be natural, or not "on". In the past, her "vacation" or personal, private time was being in "service". she submitted or put herself in submissive situations. she took private time to serve not only her former partners, but parents, children, and community associations. Once she "discovered" a BDSM lifestyle her goal was to find a relationship that would allow her to be "natural" the majority of the time, to be free to be "off" as much as possible. The same reasons apply to you being "off" apply for her. The difference is your definitions for "on" are opposite. The other difference is a "need to" be "off". beth has no such desire and wished she never had to be, but society won't let her. If allowed, she'd "safe-word" out of a non-consensual dynamic with society, whose puritanical kink, forces the requirement she be "on". This is a distinction. It is not espousing a standard or representing any "one 'true' way". Just a perspective to consider. Be well!
