ORIGINAL: Phoenixandnika "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet." ~Shakespeare~ So does calling her another form of the same word truly change what your calling her? If calling her "cunt" screws with her head, don't you think calling her "pootang" or "pussy" would probably have the same effect? Would a true dom/me risk emotionally damaging his property so he can use such a term?I personally don't think they would, but that is simply my opinion I suppose. This is exactly what should have been said from the beginning. Why do you call her whore, slut, cunt, to begin with? Do you feel the need to humiliate her? You may not think that those words mean bad things, of course, but she does. If you say, well, I did it in past D/s relationships... All relationships are different. Everyone has hard limits, and any amount of negotiates won't usually change them. Instead of trying to desensitize her to the words, thereby doing extreme damage in the process and possibly losing your precious little gem, take a more caring perspective at it. In regards to the KKK reference above, should a racial slur be used at an event, it would be perfectly acceptable. Should the OP call his sub a slut at the grocery store, it would be unacceptable. What makes something appropriate is not who says it, but the context and environment in which it is said. In his case, the environment and context are perfect, **Except** his sub doesn't take comfort in those words. Is that her failing? her being a bad sub? I don't think it is. All I am trying to say in this is-- If she doesnt like being demeaned, don't demean her. It isnt her trying to take control, it isnt her topping from the bottom, its like her saying, Don't cut me, dont try vampirism, dont burn me, dont beat me, dont break my hard limit, whatever it may be. if she cant take being called whore/slut/cunt and you cant deal with calling her something that is easily viewed as positive, as the list was mentioned by LA above, then I suggest you let your precious gem go, before you seriously damage her, and then, she wont be so precious anymore, but broken, battered, and torn between her love for you, and her absolute hatred for D/s and even possibly you. JMHO....
