It's not that I think little of myself at all......I can ensure that I value myself, that's under my control.....but it's not up to me whether others do.

I simply don;t think that any of those things are a *right* ......which is what *deserve* implies.

I hope that explains the way I think.


I really liked this reply, and it seemed very clear to me.  It is also pretty much how I feel about myself, as well.

Do submissives or slaves deserve it?  And if so, under what circumstances?



Everyone deserves respect for the sake of them being a human being before they are anything else.

Sir respects me tremendously, it was the respect He showed to me that allowed me to fully surrender to Him and to respect Him even more than when we originally began our relationship.

Status: offline 		No matter what your role in life much less your role in BDSM you deserve respect. The only people that I do not respect are the ones who show no respect to me or someone else that I do respect. There are many submissive that I have that I have the greatest respect for mainly because they are such kind, caring and giving people. There are many Dominants that I respect for the same reasons.

I am not going to even read thru other responses to this. So i'm not following others patterns here.

I personally demmand respect... specially if someone is wanting respect from me. I don't bother disrespecting idiots anymore.... after i'm done laughing... I usually just walk away.

Status: offline 		I don't care what form others may take, but I cannot conceive of any relationship, play or otherwise that does not included respect for everyone involved.  I have been at this searching thing too long to think that my lack of respect is impressive to a potential submissive. Really, the very basis of a relationship has to be respect for your partner, based on that one can only build the trust and integrity to move forward.

Status: offline 		Thank you very much to E/everyone that responded to my posting.  I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond.  Real life sets in and I got distracted.  I loved the responses though.  They were so varied and there was so much fabulous information given.  I guess I should say that I did not post this questioning based off of my own beliefs.  Something that continuously boggles my mind, no matter how long I have been involved in bdsm, is that there are so many different definitions to what people look for in their relationships, how they want to be treated, how they want to treat others, and what truly fulfills their needs to be happy and build a solid relationship for themselves.  You can not give any of those questions or ideals one completely TRUE answer, because for everyone, it is completely different.  That is what I was looking for in asking this question.  I was not looking for a right or wrong answer, but rather, I was looking for how people would respond. 

And again I thank you A/all.

Yes.

Under any and all circumstances.

Just my $.02, as it has worked for Daddy and me for nearly four years...  YMMV.

edited to add:  This works both ways.  I always respect Him, even during times that may be stressful.  I lived in a mutually disrespectful environment/relationship for years.  I wouldn't tolerate another one.

Status: offline 		I think I posted in a thread like this a while ago... *grins* perhaps it was this one, but I'm too lazy to go see.
 
Anyway, imho, a person deserves respect as a human being untill they've proven they are nothing except air filters.
